The Pride Flag

 

It is “pride month.” Within a block of my house, two versions of the pride flag are flying from private flagpoles.

A friend of mine, himself in a stable homosexual relationship, is alarmed by this trend. It reminds him of the distinctive Nazi flag appearing in Weimar Germany. Like the Nazi flag, it expresses aggressive commitment to an all-embracing ideology. 

And, I would add, that ideology, “wokism,” or “postmodernism,” or “intersectionality,” or whatever new name it hides under, is philosophically the same as Nazism in all particulars. 

Love Is Love

 

It’s “Pride Month,” and this week’s flyer from WalMart features a “family pride” section with items for children: Mickey or Minnie Mouse with rainbow colours on their trousers or hair bow. “Rainbow Brite” and “Rainbow High” dolls. Pillows that say “Love is Love.”

Nothing that explicit. But “Love is Love” of course goes without saying. The reason for the slogan is that here “love” is a code word for “sex”: the message to children is “sex is love.” 

This by itself amounts to grooming.

It says something about our society that we have a month dedicated to two of the seven deadly sins, pride and lust. And it is becoming a bigger deal every year, big like Easter, say, with parades and gift-giving and special events.
