A Christian Response to Pride Month
by Suzanne Bowdey
For Americans who used to dread June and its suffocating rainbow excess, this year feels different. A week into the obligatory LGBT pandering, and the storyline hasn't been Pride - but Pride pushback. From companies' overwhelming timidity to sports leagues' scaled-back messaging, there's new respect for (or fear of) grassroots' backlash.

At the top of their page is the question: "If boys win against the fastest women, is it fair for males to compete in female-only athletic events?" To answer this question, Boys vs Women posted on X poll data that shows the support for trans-identifying athletes competing in women's sports has significantly declined over the years.
