St. Louis Pride Says Anheuser-Busch Ended Sponsorship—As Corporate Support For LGBTQ Pride Celebrations Dwindles

Right, if only they weren't so loud and flashy - they deserve it!


Not firebombed but their displays of gay pride merchandise were repeatedly vandalized by domestic terrorists (since the two are now synonymous).


I've been looking for a new one; I had one that worked perfectly with AeroPress but alas! The Dollar Tree selection lately has been distressingly sparse. Thanks for the tip!

When they put it in everyone’s face, then yes, people get disgusted. They aren’t the victims here.

Do pride parades go into people’s houses uninvited?

No one should. If people don’t like the message, people have a right to say no or cut off contact.

I don’t care what adults do.

I’m glad when we can agree.
Pride parades are still well advertised and people can avoid running into one if that sort of thing might bother them.
(Alternatively they could protest such parades if they so choose, and that‘s fine (and good) too).

Protest parades? I personally think that’s a waste of time, but people can still do it, if they want

Most of the people who would be opposed have jobs and don’t have time to protest

Exactly.

No attempts to convert anyone? Drag Queen Story Time? What about when the President was speaking on national television about how kids are going to school and comming home after gender surgery! Schools are preforming medical procedures instead of teaching! But, as expected, no outrage from the Left.

There tends not to be a lot of outrage for things that don't happen. Well, on the left, anyway. The right has more than enough outrage to go around for nonexistent stuff.

-- A2SG, they sure seem to like being outraged, though....

 

[A2SG]

Then why are they so adamant that LGBTQ be taught to children and promote things like drag queen story hour?

Teachers aren't teaching kids to be LGBT, they're simply saying that LGBT people exist, and should be accepted rather than treated as evil. Granted, that does go against many right wing talking points. As to drag queen story hours...what's wrong with reading children's books to children?

The hips on the drag queens go swish, swish, swish was sung on a children's show on PBS and I've seen video of a drag queen singing to children "If you're a drag queen and you know it shake your bum"

Kids having fun. Also, the whole acceptance thing that seems to go against some right wing talking points.

And who can forget the gay men's choir singing "We'll convert your children "

You think they're being serious? That's so cute.

-- A2SG, provocative people being provocative....plenty of that going around all over the place....

 

[A2SG]

Absolutely! Don't like Target? Hobby Lobby? Chick fil-A? Don't shop or eat there. Simple!

I shop at Target all the time, I've never even stepped foot in a Hobby Lobby (can't even tell you where one is, frankly), but I do enjoy an occasional Chick-fil-A sandwich.

Yeah, it is pretty simple.

-- A2SG, never been into model trains, to be honest....

Yeah, heterosexuals are the only ones who have the right to put their lifestyle out there in everyone's face whether they like it or not, with their open displays of affection, blatant celebrations of marriage and unapologetic displaying of rings, children and other displays of their sexual lifestyle.

They're treading on exclusive rights here!

-- A2SG, can't have that....

Whether someone likes it or not, heterosexuality is normal and best for society. Children do best with a mom and dad. It’s how humans are biologically designed.

Yup. Let people shop where they want. Don’t like a place? Don’t shop or eat there. Pretty simple.

This makes me curious. What do you consider "put it in everyone's face"? Because if you consider living out in the open not hiding away wrong, then it appears you very much care what adults do.

So, it's okay for some to shove their sexual lifestyle in other's faces, just not everyone.

-- A2SG, can't let them "others" gettin' uppity now, and go thinkin' they're people....

Examples of blatant celebrations of marriage? or unapologetic displaying of rings, children.

---Always in His Presence this should be fun---

Living out in the open is fine. Being all in your face isn't. I support their right to do whether they want, but if others don't like it, too bad.
