Once again, the left took something many Americans thought they could get behind, basic gay rights, and shoved it so far down everyone’s throats that we all choked on it. What started as “we just want to be treated equally” turned into “celebrate my identity or we’ll ruin your life.” And now, the backlash is here, and it’s real.

Across the country, parents are fed up with rainbow flags flying over their kids’ schools while American flags get sidelined. State legislatures are stepping in with “flag bills.” They’re also fed up with the nonstop indoctrination being pushed on their kids.

Watch:

Clearly, our nation’s kids are being groomed.

Watch:

Even Disney threw a pride parade.

Watch:

The bad news is kids are under constant assault from the radical left’s agenda. And while it may not seem like much, these flag laws are part of a broader push to walk us back from the ledge. The good news is that these laws make it clear: only official government flags fly on public buildings. No more activist banners. No more political loyalty tests. It’s a quiet but powerful line in the sand.

Americans are tired of the bullying, theatrics, and being forced to play along with a movement that’s become more about domination than dignity.

Nobody in America signed up to support this:

But now, as backlash grows, even pride is feeling the heat in their wallet.

LGBTQ pride is seeing a mass exodus of advertisers and sponsors.

Take a look:

San Francisco pride lost $200k.
Idaho’s biggest Pride event lost $400K.
NYC pride lost 25% of support and are short $750K.
Utah pride is short $400k.
Virginia’s biggest pridefest lost 2 major sponsors.
Columbus, OH, pride lost $125k.

Pride is broken and going broke.

After years of riding high on corporate cash and media devotion, Pride is suddenly struggling to pay its own bills.

And that leads us right into The Guardian’s latest panicked piece, which admits that major sponsors are fleeing the Pride scene in droves. Why? Well, organizers blame Trump. They blame DEI pushback. They blame the economy; they blame everything but themselves. Here’s the truth they won’t say out loud: Americans are sick of being bullied into celebrating fringe ideologies, and corporate America is finally feeling the pressure.

The Guardian:

The exodus of sponsors from US Pride events, large and small, have made headlines: the loss of the likes of Anheuser-Busch, Comcast and Diageo from San Francisco Pride has accounted for – at the time of writing – a $200,000 shortfall for a $3.2m event last year attended by an estimated 1.5 million people. (La Crema and Benefit Cosmetics have recently returned as sponsors, a spokesperson said.)

Some organizers say that companies retreating from Pride have been spooked by Trump’s anti-DEI crusade. (The White House did not respond to requests for comment about its plans for any Pride month messaging.)

Utah Pride, for instance, is short $400,000 – or close to half – of its typical sponsorship total. “It’s primarily due to the anti-DEI rhetoric happening on a federal and state level,” says Call, declining to name the companies that have withdrawn. “We definitely have a target on our backs. But there is nothing they can do to prevent us from having Pride, unless more legislation is coming down, and that would be probably unconstitutional.”

Yet some companies have said they are pulling their financial support because of the jittery economic climate.

They can blame President Trump all they want, but in the end, he’s back in the White House on a mandate from the American people to return sanity and normalcy to the country, and this is part of that. The Guardian piece goes on:

“Businesses are struggling for a lot of different reasons, like uncertainty around future tariffs,” says Elizabeth Michael, executive director of the non-profit group SoMA 501, which is organizing a Pride event in Little Rock, Arkansas. “Putting on this event costs a lot of money, around $20,000-$40,000, and we’re doing our best to scrape it together the best we can.”

SF Pride had also been struggling to regain its stability after the pandemic, even before this year’s turmoil. “We are by no means financially safe,” Suzanne Ford, its executive director, says. “I don’t think any Pride in the United States is financially safe at this moment.”

New York City Pride, the US’s largest Pride festival attended last year by an estimated 2.5 million people, has seen the withdrawal of Mastercard, PepsiCo, Nissan, Citi and PricewaterhouseCoopers as corporate sponsors. The New York Times reported that 25% of New York’s corporate Pride donors had “canceled or scaled back their support, citing economic uncertainty and fear of retribution from the Trump administration”. Organizers Heritage of Pride now face an estimated $750,000 shortfall.

And now that Pride is losing its bankroll, the radical activist groups that counted on that money all year long are about to feel some serious pain. And you have to wonder, when you see names like Anheuser-Busch on the list of corporate donors jumping ship, is Budweiser’s road to redemption paved with fewer Pride flags?

We’ll see…
