Pride Month continues to be a propagandistic holiday on behalf of a radical secular religion that is going up against traditional values. We obviously have a clash of religious worldviews. Here is a great example of this clash.

According to the L.A. Daily News, an LGBTQ+ flag outside of a classroom at Santa Fe Elementary School was lit on fire. The flag was destroyed, prompting an investigation of a possible hate crime, according to the LAPD.

Let's be clear about this. The new regime in the United States is that if you burn an American flag, dissent is the height of patriotism. We've been told it means that you are the best. You're not just American; you are the best American.

You burn the American flag, a flag for which American soldiers have fought, bled, and died for: You're a hero. You kneel for the American flag: You're a hero. Not only is it fine, it's showing how much you love free speech.

But if you burn a Pride flag, you are told you have committed a grave sin, a grave crime, the kind of crime no civilized society should tolerate.

I have one question: Why in the world is there a Pride flag in elementary schools in front of your small children? Why are five-year-olds, six-year-olds, and seven-year-olds being exposed to an ideology that promotes alternative forms of sex?

We now live in a country where it is a national news story for a person to burn a flag that has particular colors on it, so long as those colors aren't the American flag.

It's not national news when kids are getting genitally mutilated at hospitals across the country for no reason, but it's national news when it comes to the burning of the Pride Progress Flag, because, of course, this is a religious flag.

According to the principal, his group and the teacher have draped a larger LGBTQ+ flag on the teacher's classroom window.

Why does any of this matter? There are a few reasons. Pride Month now celebrates the idea that men can be women and women can be men. The idea that a boy can become a girl or a girl can become a boy is the height of perversion.

There is no scientific evidence to back this. In fact, all science suggests precisely the opposite. In fact, if you go back decades, it turns out that moms of boys with gender identity disorder have an extraordinary propensity to suffer from borderline personality disorder. A study in the Journal of American Academic, Child and Adolescent Psychiatry found that 53% of the moms of boys with gender identity disorder had borderline personality disorder. I would assume that number has only increased because we now have created a massive social contagion.

We are seeing 21% of people born between 1998 and 2004 identifying as LGBTQ+.

Is any of that good for human fulfillment? Is any of that good for human societies and good for this generation of society in general? Of course not. And it's not just because of this particular wing of the movement; it is because Pride Month is itself a symptom. It is a symptom of the complete reorientation of human fulfillment away from: How do you serve a community? How do you build social connections? How do you build for the next generation?

The idea being promulgated is that the “true you” is your sexual desire. Any imposition on that sexual desire is an imposition on the “true you” and threatens your authenticity. That is rooted in a narcissistic belief that there is nothing outside of you; that itself is rooted in a secular, atheistic perspective of the world.

LISTEN NOW

These things are deeply connected on a philosophical level, as these people tend to believe that there is no higher meaning that can be discerned in the world. There is no natural law; there is no God; there is no revelation. The consequences for that are extraordinarily dire, including the fact that no one's having babies.

Why would that possibly be a matter of indifference? The literal purpose of a human being is to generate the species; to generate good values down to the next generation; to transform the world in a better way on behalf of your children.

The standard for good or bad really begins to apply in societies, where you have the capacity to carry out your fulfillment as a human being, when you start thinking about generations beyond yourself, thinking beyond when you die.

But in the United States, we no longer think like that.
