Earlier this month, the White House unfurled a Progress Pride flag flanked by two national flags. This prompted some to read the act as symbolising defeat of the Stars and Stripes by a new ruling ideology. Republican Senator Roger Marshall introduced a new bill to ban government buildings from flying any flag except the national one.
But it’s not just conservatives who are unconvinced by the triumph of Pride. A number of groups that have, until relatively recently, been viewed unambiguously as allies by the broader progressive project have begun to voice their dissent at the new rainbow supremacy.
Foremost, we find growing signs that Muslims — a group symbolised (sometimes surreally) in “inclusive” visuals and routinely co-opted as Leftist allies — may have a few questions about Pride. Footage circulated recently of Canadian Muslim children being encouraged by their parents to stamp on Pride flags, prompting an outbreak of startlingly Colonel Blimp-ish progressive calls to “send them home”. Meanwhile, the Guardian reported the “sense of betrayal” experienced by those liberals who had previously celebrated the first Muslim-majority council, in Hamtramck, Michigan, after that council instituted a city-wide ban on Pride insignia.
Nor is this the only way the broader multicultural project finds itself in tension with the rainbow worldview. Under Progress Pride ideology, a woman is anyone who says they’re a woman, a belief that’s now enforceable by law in Washington State. But the Korean owner of women-only Olympus Spa disagrees, on very multicultural grounds. Olympus is a traditionally sex-segregated jimjilbang spa, where it is normal to be nude in communal areas. The owner filed a suit for the right to exclude trans-identified males, on free speech and freedom of religion grounds, arguing that Olympus would lose revenue if unable to exclude this group. But the court ruled in favour of Wilvich, who has intact male genitalia, triggering a heated protest and counter-protest.
And even in ultra-progressive California, minorities have broken out to protest the new order. Armenian parents in LA protested a Pride-themed assembly reading about same-sex parents. Elsewhere in Los Angeles, a running culture-war battle over the decision to “honour” the Christian-parody drag performers Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence at an LA Dodgers game prompted mass protests and a boycott by the 50% Latino (and hence often Catholic) Dodgers fanbase.
The phrase “progressive stack”, in circulation since the days of Occupy Wall Street, refers to a notional hierarchy of “marginalisation” based on fixed identity characteristics. It’s a framework that has, in the years since Occupy, increasingly spread from radical politics toward the mainstream. What happens, then, when stakeholders in the “progressive stack” quarrel among themselves about their position in the pile?

By what right do liberals feel betrayal when Muslims prefer to be muslim? Perhaps liberals need to wind their necks in.
You have to have a heart of stone not to laugh.
I just don’t know who I want to lose
I have a heart of stone, and I laughed.

Seems like those Muslims didn’t realise they were being the recipients of tolerance and grace. They weren’t I would guess,expected to do anything in accordance with their well known World View. It’s a bit like here in UK when the Labour party over several generations now to a greater or lesser extent promotes ethnic people over indigenous white in the delusion that this widens their support base and not yet even quite cottoning on that those people want prosperity (or they’d have stayed at home) and once they get some they vote Tory.
BTW…the council did not ban the flag in the city. It banned the flying of the flag on city buildings or in city property. They clearly said that private homes and businesses were of course free to fly it.
In fact, they did not exclude only the Pride Flag, they said that the only flags that can be flown are the US Flag, the State Flag and the City Flag. In short….only government related flags may be flown on city property.
It’s the overwhelming sense of righteous saviourism that ‘liberals’ have due to their ginormous reserves of smugness and arrogance. They think of everyone else as pets for their self-imagined benevolence. When the pets don’t behave as expected it offends their fragile narcissistic egos.

The “T” IN “LBGT” makes no sense to me. I view trans as a covert form of gay cancellation.
That’s rather unprogessive of you Frank.
No. It’s counter-cultural.
No. It’s counter-cultural.
Also, the ‘B’ in ‘LGBT’ makes no sense to me. I see only two categories … 1. Those who are repelled by the opposite sex (L & G). 2. Those who are attracted to the opposite sex (the rest of us).
Which letter applies to people so charmless and ugly no one of any proclivity whatever wishes to engage in sexual activity with them,and why is ones sexual ‘validity” seen as,or at least promoted as,the approved stamp of society belonging. It seems to me that there has always been an element of this. After all they used to burn ugly,strange old women and in the musical Oaklahoma the villain is the sad git who lives alone in the shack and can’t get any..,.
Can’t you find a better way, Gordon, to express the one difference between gay and straight people? I’m a gay man, and I’m definitely not “repelled” by women.
My lesbian self thanks you. There’s quite a distance between being attracted to one sex and being repelled by the other.
Ditto my comment to Mr Nathanson.
Ditto my comment to Mr Nathanson.
Ok, but are you repelled at the idea of sexual contact with a woman? That’s where the repel element resides.
Thank you Betsy … I assumed that my attraction/repulsion magnetic analogy would be understood as ONLY relating to one-on-one intimate sexual liaison … my mistake.
To Gordon and Betsy, no. I’m not interested in sexual relations with women, even bored, but definitely not repelled. There’s a huge difference.

Do “gay” men exist? They seem quite happy to have intimate relations with women.
There have always been many gay men who had sexual relations with women, mainly because they wanted to participate fully in family and communal life. Now, that’s no longer necessary and therefore less common. But gay men–we do exist–find ultimate satisfaction with other men.
Even the most effeminate, dainty young “gay” men today are sexually active with women. Lavender marriages might be on the way out, but so it seems are “gay” men (!)
Let us know about the research that backs up your claim, Albert.
It seems to be a generational phenomenon. Listening to the host of The Perfume Nationalist admit he’d be “less gay” if he were ten years younger confirmed my own, uh, “research”.

It’s conversion therapy for gay and lesbian people.
It is. There is no such thing as gay or lesbian. You are just in the wrong body.
Political language is intentionally nonsense.

This morning I went into a Superdrug Pharmacy to buy some toothpaste, but found the interior festooned with Pride merchandise, so I immediately walked out and bought my toothpaste at the Boots down the road, which wasn’t displaying any of this depraved garbage.
Has Gerald Ratner joined the Superdrug Board by any chance?

I think it more likely that such contests will simply make it clearer who takes precedence in the hierarchy.
This is an important point to make. Progressive ideology is aggressively secular and hostile to religion. Until now, virtually all of this hostility has been directed against Christianity. However, with Islam now apparently in conflict with LGBT dogma, we can expect the progressives to turn against Islam. How this develops will be an interesting spectacle.
If not a dangerous one. When the 3 radical fsctions lock horns in those particular tribes fireworks may be expected.
Yes indeed.
Not “LGBT dogma” but “T dogma”.

Translating this blowback to the UK context, this is why I’m very skeptical that the Red Wall will actually go back to Labour come the day. I suspect many especially older voters, are gonna be like, “Yeah… thanks but no thanks” especially if the Tories have enough nous to simply mention wokery issues to tee the debate up in the run up to polling day. They don’t even need to take an explicit position – just light the blue touchpaper and then stand well back, as they watch Labourites of various hues walk into the debate and self-immolate by expressing a rainbow of self-incriminating opinions.
Just keep asking the question – “what is a woman?”
Problem is the Tories are just as bad. They are pushing this agenda hard enough, and if they try to change tack it will be too late ti make a difference and won’t be credible anyway. Predict lots of ‘prime minister says …’ in the media but no change to actual policy. The only difference is that Labour won’t pretend to be surprised.

There are two ways of looking at what is going on in Hamtramck.
The first possibility is that the local government has banned the flying of all flags on municipal buildings in a bad-faith move aimed implicitly at the Pride flag.
But another possibility is this: that the local government – made up of first-generation immigrants to the USA – understands that the best way to integrate newcomers to the country is to keep sectarian and confessional affiliations out of politics.
Some of my family’s ancestors who received US citizenship had to do that, when they were required to “renounce forever all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state or sovereignty whatever”. The crafters of this oath understood that in building a new nation, there could be allegiance to only one flag.

I suggest that readers follow the link to “progressive stack”. You couldn’t make it up. And you have been warned, as it is bound to cross the pond, if it isn’t here already.
But no need to worry, since apparently and not surprisingly, how you ‘identify’ is what counts, so if you are that pathetic creature, a white cis-gendered straight male, all you have to have to do is self-identify as a transgender POC lesbian, and you will rise to the top of the stack. You will then be prioritized for “in-class contributions that [allow] marginalized students to speak before non-marginalized students.”
I saw that too – absolutely appalling. Especially the reference to the ‘white male problem’. I have run out of patience with these creeps.
The problem is they’re not trying to be more ‘inclusive’ – they’re excluding whites and whites only.
Here in the UK, the exam boards recently removed Seamus Heaney and Philip Larkin from the syllabus and replaced them with 20 new ‘poets’ and guess what? In a country that is 82% white there was not a single white male.
I wouldn’t mind so much if they were better writers but nearly all of it is meretricious crap.
“I have run out of patience with these creeps”
I have completely stopped showing these revolting paedos any courtesy.
Likewise – I grow increasingly militant. Basta!

I wonder if and when scholarly work itself will be declared white supremacist and then perhaps journals will start publishing streams of consciousness from the most victimised in place of academic work.

The only positive to massive uncontrolled immigration from the Third World is that most of the incomers are strongly religious and likely to push back strongly against this insanity the moment it begins encroaching on their enclaves. I can’t picture trans activists lasting long in a Bradford school or Tower Hamlets church hall.
I commented to a colleague a few years ago who was a senior part of River City Pride, that if they keep attacking white Australia, that he would have to go back into the closet. His response was “I know.”
They know they are biting the hand that feeds them. We have given them everything they asked for and still they want to bring everything down.

I think our profound skepticism of the trans movement can easily cloud judgement about what constitutes appropriate and inappropriate protest. I fully support the Muslim town council in Michigan that won’t fly pride flags. We need much, much more of this.
Yet I think it’s creepy when Muslim parents encourage children to stomp on a pride flag. It dehumanizes the group you oppose. IMO it teaches children that the people represented by the flag are less than human. I may profoundly disagree with the trans movement, but they are still human beings
While I am inclined to sympathise with your view it should not be forgotten that the flag is a battle emblem. Countries have flags but it is only very recently that sexual preferences have acquired a flag as part of their ideological battle to be planted on conquered territory, so it is understandable that those that oppose the ideology wish to see the flag of conquest trampled.
If public buildings wanted to be inclusive they would fly the heterosexual flag as well. You might ask what that is. As far as I know there is none as heterosexuals do not have a specific ideology they wish to impose nowadays – although up until Wolfenden the law did make male homosexuality illegal in England but there was no specific flag for the straight to wave. Personally I have no desire to march behind a Straight flag or to see it flown but neither do I wish to see LGBTQAI+ flags flown. Your sexual preference is a private matter not something to be celebrated with aggressive flag waving.
I hate those flags. I find them just as dismal as the red ones with the white circle and the Hakenkreuz on them.

The time is overdue for conservatives and traditionalists to take back the institutions through which the woke, intolerant, anti-liberal Marxist Left has had its long march. If that also means taking back the streets through public displays of sentiment, so be it. This is not the time to capitulate to insanity, but to regain the sober-minded virtues on which Western society was built and which has and will sustain it if the libertine, nihilistic impulses of a tiny majority are successfully resisted. If the majority merely shrug their shoulders, the battle is lost.
It remains to be seen if the leaders of Christian, conservative Jewish, and Muslim faiths will actively engage. So far, they have been largely AWOL.

Well, there’s a lot more where that came from.

There is a major backlash coming. Its brewing. It shows up in polling. It is showing up in boycotts. It is showing up in the disagreements between the various “marginalized” groups. You see that “trans” is becoming less cool and more “sad” or “weird” on social media.

Many lesbians and gay men who recognize the misogyny and homophobia that drive gender ideology are also speaking out. It’s maddening to have our acronym and movement hijacked by this madness; more of us are saying so, creating fissures in the strategically fabricated notion of an “LGBTQ+ community” that was never real in the first place.
