Whitlock: ‘Pride Month’ debauchery reflects a new MAGA movement



The in-your-face sexual depravity showcased at LGBTQ+ Pride celebrations acts as a mirror for the rest of us. It’s a reflection of the culture Christian heterosexuals built, tolerated, and/or enjoyed for the last 60 years.

We allowed the centering of our sexuality in all aspects of American television, music, cinema, art, and culture. We sold hamburgers, magazines, cars, football, and everything else with sex. We giggled when Carl’s Jr. decorated cheeseburgers with scantily clad supermodels. We dined at Hooters. We danced to Too Short’s “Freaky Tales,” Naughty by Nature’s “O.P.P.,” and 2 Live Crew’s “We Want Some P***y.” We loved Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit issue, the Cowboys’ cheerleaders, and Charlie’s Angels.

Sex sells.

It’s disingenuous and naive to be shocked that, given the opportunity and leverage, the gay movement is selling its lifestyle with sex. They’re simply mirroring the behavior of the formerly dominant culture.

We made Pride Month – and all the debauchery and grooming that comes with it – inevitable.

Like all problems, the solutions start with the Christian man or woman in the mirror.

I had this epiphany this weekend while perusing Twitter and seeing the disgusted tweets featuring videos of the child-friendly debauchery at Pride parades. Conservatives are growing brands and social media platforms highlighting drag queen story hours, LGBTQ teachers grooming children, and the nonsensical ramblings of the identity-confused.

I asked myself, “Why are gay people behaving this way? Why does it seem like their life mission is to shove their sexuality down all of our throats?”

The answer struck me while I was watching the movie “Killer Joe,” a 2012 drama featuring Matthew McConaughey and Juno Temple.

For the past month, Amazon Prime has been recommending the movie to me based on my viewing history. McConaughey plays the role of a Dallas cop who moonlights as a hit man for hire. He’s contracted by a drug dealer who wants his mother killed. The drug dealer offers Killer Joe his virginal little sister (Temple) as the down payment on the murder.

The movie was filmed in 2010, when Temple was 20 and McConaughey 40. Temple looks 15 or 16 in the movie. Forty-two minutes in, I stopped the movie as Temple stripped naked for McConaughey. I was uncomfortable. The movie was soft porn, a darker, more sexually explicit version of Kevin Spacey’s “American Beauty.”

Amazon recommended “Killer Joe” to me based on what I have previously watched. This says something about my taste in cinema and television. I reviewed what I watched. I like dark crime dramas. The movies I watch the most are "The Godfather" movies, "Scarface," "JFK." The TV shows I watch the most are "The Sopranos," "The Wire," "The Shield," "Game of Thrones," and "Billions."

I like crime, corruption, and sex. Amazon recommended that I watch crime, corruption, and sex. It fed me what I like.

It’s criminal – or it should be – that adults are taking kids to drag shows. It’s corrupt that teachers see it as their responsibility to teach kids about gender and sexuality. It’s sad that we’ve created a society that justifies criminality and corruption with sex.

The LGBTQ crowd is mirroring an extreme version of the dominant culture’s behavior. They’re not doing anything we haven’t done.

Late last week, the delivery service Postmates released a Pride commercial with a food menu that is “bottom friendly,” meaning the food options are sodomy-friendly.

Postmates tweeted: “You shouldn’t miss a good meal for a good time. That’s why this Pride, we’ve teamed up with Dr. Evan Goldstein and Rob Anderson to create the world’s first Bottom-Friendly Menu (yup it’s real). #EatWithPride.”

Anderson is some sort of gay sexual-wellness surgeon. Anderson is a gay author who created a gay science series. I can’t adequately describe the commercial. You have to watch it yourself.

I understand why you’re repulsed watching the commercial. I certainly was when I originally saw it. But we have mainstreamed immorality. Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre headlined the Super Bowl halftime show. Snoop is a confessed pimp. Snoop, Dre, and Eminem specialize in making lyrical pornography. Their music targets kids. No one should be surprised that Lil Nas X and Cardi B are the next iteration of Dre and Snoop.

Gay Pride is the next iteration of Playboy magazine.

Let me make one more analogy. Gay Pride is January 6. All of America watched the 2020 St. George Floyd riots. We watched cities burned, stores looted, and cops killed while corporate media justified the chaos and mayhem. A counterprotest was inevitable.

For decades, popular culture and corporate media have celebrated heterosexual depravity. A counterprotest was inevitable.

We’re the George Floyd riots. Gay Pride is MAGA – make America gay again.

Horowitz: A private business can discriminate based on a vaccine? Tell that to Christian photographers



“Oh, of course private businesses can collude with the government to ensure that you have no access to employment, goods, and services and are marginalized from society if you don’t share their values — don’t you know that?” Well, that line of thought being used against those who don’t want a shot comes as news to anyone following the courts and anti-discrimination cases for the past decade.

Those who think that private businesses can engage in the most odious form of discrimination and force dangerous products into people’s bodies as a prerequisite to even participate in society, let me introduce you to Judge Frank Geraci Jr. of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York. He ruled that New York can force Emilee Carpenter of Emilee Carpenter Photography to film a gay wedding against her most sincerely held religious beliefs.

“New York has a compelling interest in ensuring that individuals, without regard to sexual orientation, have equal access to publicly available goods and services, and that the Accommodation clause is narrowly tailored, as applied to Plaintiff, to serve that interest,” Geraci wrote in a Dec. 13 ruling.

Just how strong is this “compelling interest,” according to Judge Geraci? “As a result, even if the Accommodation clause compels speech or expressive association in a manner that implicates Plaintiff’s free-speech and free-association interests, the provision survives strict scrutiny,” concluded the judge in dismissing Carpenter’s lawsuit against the New York state government.

In other words, there is such an amazingly compelling state interest in ensuring that one out of 100 photographers doesn’t refuse service for a gay wedding that a state can downright compel you to engage in speech and activities that violate your conscience. Yet at the same time, we are told that a red state cannot tell private businesses “what not to do” by ordering them not to discriminate against workers or customers who decline to take the jab. Not only is this gross hypocrisy, but there are numerous differences that make the double standard of the court system all the more appalling.

  1. In the cases of the florists, photographers, and bakers who decline to service a gay wedding, they are not refusing to ever serve the individual, just that particular event. Contrast this to the vaccine mandates, and they are refusing to employ or serve the individual for anything.
  2. In the case of the photographer, the owner is abiding by her religious beliefs not to participate in something she finds anathema to her conscience. No such claim can be made with the vaccines, unless we are to concede that mass vaccination has become a religion. By definition, someone’s vaccination status cannot affect another human being, given that the others can obtain that amazing protection. Moreover, the shots never stopped transmission and, with the new variant, appear to cause more transmission.
  3. In the case of wedding services, the number of those declining is a minority of a minority. The culture condones homosexuality to a point where the customers could probably get discounts and better service almost anywhere within miles. Contrast this to the vaccine wars, and people without the shot are being marginalized from every aspect of society, employment, and higher education and now have the threat of inability to access life-sustaining goods, services, and treatment – including organ transplants.
  4. In the case of the gay weddings or employment of homosexuals, nobody is requiring the individuals to engage in a specific action they find offensive, as they are with requiring a dangerous shot in one’s body. The equivalent of the jab mandate for the bakers would be for a business to say you must engage in heterosexual sex in order for me to hire you or serve you. Or explained in the opposite direction, the court mandates to service gay weddings would be the equivalent of us demanding that businesses hire a certain quota of people without the jab and service events, fundraisers, and rallies fighting the jabs.
  5. In the case of the vaccine wars, the government has fostered a discriminatory culture throughout the country with billions of dollars of funding, marketing, coercing, and absolving manufactures of liability. Thus, it is not coming from a “private” concern, but clearly from the government, even when there is no direct requirement. The equivalent dynamic with gay weddings would be if the government spent billions of dollars marketing homosexuals as dangers to society, spreading HIV and syphilis, and then, when “private” businesses respond to the calling from government, asserting that “a private business can do what they want.”

But in the end, the two mandates actually are in harmony with each other in one respect: They both reek of fascism. They both require a person to actively participate in something that is anathema to his body or spirit against his will. Notice how religious conscience loses in both directions – both when the one asserting the right is an employer and when it is an employee or customer.

Now is the time for red states to pass systemic protections for people who don’t want to risk the senseless shots that are currently made moot by Omicron. The slate is not clean when it comes to private practice and discrimination law. If we are going to indulge absurd levels of anti-discrimination law – to the point of forcing Christian photographers to film two men kissing – you better believe we are going to enforce anti-discrimination law when the discriminatory behavior is senseless, is all-encompassing to the point of apartheid, and is being systematically fueled by the federal government.
