Is so called 'Pride Month' in decline?
The fuel
behind many of the called Pride Parades has been commercial sponsorship and
media support, and while media support seems to be as strong as ever,
commercial sponsorship for these parades is dwindling. There was the
announcement recently that Plymouth's official Pride was cancelled, however, a
group of organisations and individuals have created Plymouth Community Pride,
and of course the media and the inevitable BBC came to their support generating
publicity and given these groups a public platform. However the general trend
has been a lessening of support and interest in these events that do so much
cultural and moral damage. With the resurgence of interest in Christianity among the
young there has certainly been a searching for something more authentic, less transient.
There have of course been many examples where the corporate commercial world has pushed the woke agenda only to come unstuck. 'Go woke go broke' has been a catchphrase for quite some time now. Take for example Bud Light, a beer that is usually bought by conservative men was then advertised by a Trans ‘woman’ only for men to boycott the beer, leaving sales and the companies market stock value to plummet. And Gillette shot themselves in the foot, with the 'best a man can be' campaign which was full of so called toxic masculinity images, even toping it off with a film of a 'woman' with a beard shaving 'herself.' The ad had a record number of dislikes on You Tube and Gillette experienced an $8 billion cash write-down. The list goes on, Pepsi, Coca-Cola, Nike have all thought by breaking cultural norms on sexuality etc, would be in tune with the majority but it was not. Why? I believe it is because that while most people are tolerant they don’t want this Alphabet People propaganda shoved down their throats.
The whole Pride
and Rainbow movement has perhaps already reached its peak and is now in decline?
The Rainbow flag is everywhere of course and many Catholics feel they should
show compassion to this poor oppressed minority. Hang on a minute you may say
oppressed minority? Especially when their flags are everywhere, and that is just the
point, they still play the victim and yet if you don’t comply with their
sentiments and images etc you are banned. As Gavin Ashenden wrote in this recent
article in the Catholic Herald:
The Pride flag represents a new world order fundamentally
hostile to Christ and the message he brought – that we are accountable to a
moral cosmos created by a holy God. The new order began with demands for love
and sex, slid into hedonism, and is now solidifying into a political
totalitarianism intent on enforcing its values. Its ambitions were greater than
many realised. It did not just want to overturn Christian morality, but to
destroy the Christian vision altogether. Undermining heterosexual marriage was
only the beginning.
