You have probably noticed that cultural issues are bitterly dividing our nation right now. Bud Light, Target and other companies that have taken controversial stands on cultural issues have been dominating the headlines for weeks, and now the month of June is here.
An entire month is set aside to celebrate “Pride”, and you can’t escape it even if you wanted to do so. Rainbow colors will constantly remind us of what we are all supposed to be celebrating, and there will be gatherings and parades in cities from coast to coast.
Today, Pride Month has become one of the most prominent holidays in the United States, but it actually hasn’t been around that long. In fact, the very first time it was officially recognized by the White House was in 1999…
June is Pride Month, commemorating the Stonewall uprising, which began on June 28, 1969. Though the first Gay Pride Liberation March took place in Manhattan in 1970 to commemorate the one-year anniversary of Stonewall, it took 30 years for Pride Month to become official, in a 1999 proclamation from former President Bill Clinton.
I was stunned when I read that, because it seems like Pride Month has been around forever.
And this June it will be celebrated in virtually every single nation on the entire planet.
For the next 30 days, it won’t be too difficult to distinguish those that support “Pride” from those that don’t support “Pride”.
Don’t see why everyone thinks that they are so special. Maybe we need to have a straight month
So who made ‘Pride Month’ a thing?
This business of designating or claiming a particular month is ABC month or XYZ month to buttress some group or cause or affiliation has run amok. Pick your poison and enjoy a day celebrating whatever it is that floats your boat. Then let’s move on.
When’s there going to be a day for regular hard-working people in this country?
There is 9:31, it’s called LABOR DAY …. Brought to you by Labor Unions. Thank you
