As a British gay man, I fully agree with everything you say. I hate everything about Pride and feel there is no need to flaunt my sexuality or even advertise openly. Pride is a narcissistic, exhibitionist carnival hijacked by freaks and the Trans movement whose aim appears to be to erode the rights of gay people.

In the US, Trump and Vance will tackle the “Transing away the gay” surgery but, here in the UK, Starmer and his odious Labour government, will continue to support the mutilation of our gay kids driven by evil organisations such as Stonewall and Mermaids. I fear for the damage that will be done to our youngsters during the next 5 years until we can vote the lying, Two Tier, Free Gear Keir out of office and replace him with Farage and Reform UK

Well, in UK there's another danger for gay men - Islam - which is pushed down on people by Liebour, and if you have problems with Muslims murdering gays, you're 'Islamophobic'.

I'm glad I didn't come to UK from Finland, ironically because of Brexit - it barred Europeans from UK, and Ukrainian war barred Russians from there, so no way for me to get to UK at all but looking at what's going on here, I'm not sad about it at all.

But yeah I do hope you would be able to bring Liebour government down before it did too much irreversible shit. Trump now might support conservative forces in UK against Liebour too.

I live in Leicester, which has a large Islamic population. As a white man, I don’t feel too safe in certain parts of the city. If I advertised my sexuality, I certainly would be worried. It is certainly the No.1 issue here.

I’m hoping Trump will do all he can to put down Liebour at every opportunity, starting by vetoing the ridiculous decision to give away the Chagos Islands. Starmer and idiot Lammy won’t like that at all. Bring it on!

Man, had you considered relocating to countryside maybe? I'm worrying for your safety.

I think Liebour hoped for The Cackler victory so now they're must be shitting their pants and frantically thinking what to do. They might team up with EU against Trump though which is slightly concerning.

We live in a pretty quiet, middle class suburb which, on the whole is safe. I rarely go into the city, generally only for hospital appointments or to go to the vet with my dog.

Thankfully we don’t need to go into the centre. My partner went in today, for the first time in ages and he said that it’s getting more like the third world. We have a Labour run city council but, more alarmingly, an Islamist, Gaza supporting MP. Leicester is becoming a shit tip in so many ways

Moving out the area isn’t really an option because of increasing property values. A lot of cities are getting like Leicester and will get worse, thanks to Liebour, so you’d probably be in just the same situation wherever you go. I’d love to move into the countryside but I’d have to win the lottery first.

I will keep you informed on how things go.

Ok, good luck! So they fucked everything up and people can't even move because property prices are rising? Horrible. A real trap.

It could be a lot worse, I could live in London. That I would hate, far worse than Leicester

This is yet another well-thought opinion piece. You are a talented writer and a critical thinker, both being in high demand these days.

Leftists and wokists want to make sexual preferences a social marker and a familial divider. They surely don't realize that they come across as stalkers or perverts. Back off! My love life and intimate moments are none of their business. They belong to me and my past, present and future partners.

Exactly! If the Woke thought that to politicize my sexuality and to tie it to their far Left agenda was a good idea, it clearly wasn't.

I thought this was a great article. The only problem I've had with pride is calling it pride.

If someone is gay, or trans, or whatever. It's just whatever they are. I don't take pride because I'm tall, I don't take pride because my hair color is a certain color. Those are things that are innate to me. I didn't work for, or achieve any of them, by will or effort.

I will take pride in something that I've worked for and accomplished - a promotion, the fact that I ran a marathon, those kinds of things.

I think we need to stop labeling people. It brings division into our society. All of those things that we label people for, I think only divide us, and they are such a small portion of what somebody brings to the table. What they contribute to society.

I've had gay friends in the past, and they're just friends. If our interests and activities sync up, they are friends - regardless of their sexual activity or orientation, regardless of their skin color, regardless of their socioeconomic status.

Just friends!

I think initially it was called Gay Parade, not Pride. They changed it to Pride to counter homophobic gay shaming, and back then it seemed a good idea.

Overall you're correct though - being gay is a cause neither for pride nor for shame, it's just our nature, innate property like many others.

Thank you Alex. I often read your stack. Im still figuring my way through stack and Substack. I agree with the many comments and your thoughts. I will add. I have found I follow several people in the public and then I find out they are homosexual. I still value and follow their work. I do not see why I have to mention their sexuality. It’s like starting an introduction ‘Hello meet Gary my hetero sexual friend.’ Is that cool?

I would like to add to the comments. Today is a day of world agenda for globalist elitist. They are narcissistic and prey on destruction. I believe we are in a constant spiritual battle. Jesus said ‘anyone that hurts a child, it would be better they were not born.’

Note - God sees us all who call on His name as adopted children. The movement we see working globally to create bio weapons to hurt and maim soldiers, as well as civilians esp children is cruel. No country needs bio weapons or bio labs. The USA has become openly entangled in slavery. Sex trafficking of children.

The DHA recently stated apprix 300,000 single migrant children are unaccounted.

Donal Trump acknowledged this and said ‘mostly probably dead’.

Years ago, I learned that George Bush is a globalist and had shunned Trump (funerals, gatherings of Presidents) i reached back in my Democrat memory and Prez Bush and Prez Fox of Mexico planning an open border between the 2 countries on daytime news. I like most people, was busy working and living my life, but I remember thinking that is askew.

I also remember Prez Clinton (1994) making up my mind for me to leave the Democrat party as a video/tv production where he interviewed 3/4 families who literally had late term abortion to murder for their ‘disabled’ child then went on tv and told everyone. Weird. Tragic. They were not un pregnant. They each knew a child had been murdered and tears flowed.

The union I was in supported Clinton. I sent to the union hall and at the ‘good of the union’ i spoke. I stated if they will do this to a child, and a family that needs help, ‘they’ will murder you.’

Sometimes shooting from the hip is absolutely reasonable or just common sense. Best logic ever. Cowboy logic.

Today there are people that want us to eat roaches. Roach farms. Nasty. Call Terminex. Then there are modified insects that have diseases. Viruses. Migrations caused by horrific weather and food shortages around the world. (HAARPE ?)

We have schools in the USA who pass and graduate our children who cannot read a bus scedule, or understand how to balance a bank account. Unions are in charge of the Dept of Education. No one gets fired. Good teachers go unrewarded.

We have women who are not lesbian, rather feminist who despise men. Why? Hatefilled i think. Maybe jealous because men are stronger naturally. We have so much corruption in every aspect of our lives. It is hard to decipher.

I thought for sure when Hillary went to Saudi she would not bow down to Moslem bigotry of women. But she put a scarf on her head and a muzzle on her mouth.

Then when the gay Ambassador of Iraq was being murdered in Benghazi she was at a dinner party and the military was ready to go in but she refused their call. ‘Stand down.’

There is no honor amongst thieves. Its romanticizing.

The Democrat party was the party for African slavery, though in the constitution of the Confederate states they like the USA were outlawing new slave trade. Only the in-house slaves would be perpetual slaves.

The people in power wanted the Southern land and today, as then, they want the land. I am not discounting slavery only saying it was a multifaceted environment.

I watched 2 movies about the civil war i think you prob have enjoyed : Gone with the Wind & Free State of Jones. A lot of facts were in the background: Sherman burning ‘to the sea’., Voting.

We have watched our present day situation grow from what adults do in private and privacy of abortion to surgically removing healthy baby body parts and infanticide.

Many times, Catholics or Christians, seem to be at the helm. Nasty.

Well, God has sent His man to lead. Just like David, Donald is flawed. We all are.

God wants us to choose Him.

Recently I have listened to Justin Biebers songs. Heart breaking. We have a lot of work to do.

The Amish a hard working but peculiarly stoic lot and wildlife refuge animal lovers attacked viciously. Peanut the squirrel was guillotined just because they could. Recently a huge amount of manufactured butter was destroyed by the FDA because labeling though it included ‘made from cream’ did not include ‘may contain milk’.

Our motto for the last 3 years could be ‘stupid is as stupid does’.

We can do better. I wish you success with your personal and professional life. Be the best you can be and a little better everyday. Learn something new and stay awake politically. This is our world let’s make it beautiful and healthy for all and protect children. Thank you for reading. God bless you, Alex, and my friends who think.

I always got a kick out of Trump dancing to YMCA and wondered if he knew that was sort of a gay anthem. 🤣

I went to gay pride once as a gay man (early to mid 2000’s). I hated it and found it dumb. I ended up just going to the gay bar with my other gay friends. I didn’t ’t like how in your face and tacky the scene was.

I was then around three others and couldn’t wait to get away.

It seemed to get more extreme year by year. At first everyone was just there dressed normal. Then I started seeing nudity, then actually sexual activities in public. I didn’t like the idea of seeing kids watching this . Then it stepped into grooming later and just went totally obscene. I certainly wouldn’t call it family friendly for the past few years (that I have only seen on social media.

So glad I never got involved or signed anything there for any petitions or mailing lists.

But I have voted Trump 3 times now, and never felt threatened by being a gay republican. It has surprised a few gays that I lean that way. But I don’t care if I lose friends over it or not. Honestly, I’m mostly masculine and prefer more masculine men. I don’t think the demonrats have any masculine gay men. So no loss there! 😁🤣

I don't think DemoNrats have any masculine straight and bi men as well lol. All their men are completely emasculated.

Agreed with everything you said - I didn't feel much appeal from Pride even before, and now it has gotten much worse.

By the way I believe Trump couldn't have not known that YMCA tune was a gay anthem, I think it was a deliberate choice to both show his support for gays and to troll Woketards and DemoNrats.

So you're kinda asexual then? Well it's perfectly fine by me, sex isn't the most important thing in life and if you're fine like that and aren't suffering, it's alright.

Beware of using the word proud too though Because of its connection to the worst deadly sin.

I think initially it was to counter homophobic gay shaming and yo gain visibility, also rainbow just looked down beautiful!

But when later it was politicized, it lost any sense indeed.

Very good comments. Gays need to wake the f up. Just like with Fauci in the 1980s they're being used to a very evil end. They need to reject the corporate whores and the pedos trying to use "gay rights" or even "trans" to get at children. It's also time for the gays to stop funding the non profits pushing the pedo agenda and tell them to f off.

Now will gays as a majority do this? Sadly I have doubts because the gay world tends to be very peer pressure driven. Unfortunately too many gays have drunk the far left Koolaid. But continue to speak out because we need it.

Expand full comment

Very good points too. It still beats me how Fauci not just got away with his HIV crimes but lived on to commit COVID crimes and is STILL not damned and prosecuted. Will he be now under Trump? I highly doubt it but we need to keep bringing his crimes up.

As for gay alliance with the far Left, well, DemoNrats and Woke non-profits spent tons of money and propaganda to groom and court gays, and Republicans weren't exactly helping when they gave their Evangelical fundamentalists priority and campaigned against same-sex marriage, many gays still didn't forgive it and keep holding grudges and living in the past.

But many are waking up to a new reality though and are seeing through the veil of Leftist propaganda that DemoNrats aren't that loving and tolerant anymore, while Republicans in the contrary became more accepting and open-minded. Also many days are seeing that gay activism isn't really gay anymore but trans non-binary queer up to pedo shit. I expect the more Woketards are transing the gay away, the more gays would wake up. But will they rise against it or keep silent out of fear is another question.

However, gays should realize that trannies aren't as dangerous as they seem - they are nothing without gays and they know it, that's why they're trying so hard not to allow LGB divorce from TQ+ abomination. But we need to keep pushing for it though, it's the only way now.
