Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably witnessed the backlash to Pride. There have been mass boycotts of Bud Light after the beer company partnered with trans woman and TikTok influencer, Dylan Mulvaney, sending her a custom can to celebrate her first year of ‘girlhood.’ Target was next to come under fire for its Pride display targeting children and their ‘tuck-friendly’ bathing suits for women.
The White House is quick to paint anyone doubting the wisdom of what they euphemistically call ‘gender-affirming care’ for minors as a knuckle-dragger
This set the stage for the most divisive Pride month in some time. First, the boycotts. Then videos of angry parents at school boards went viral. Conservative radio hosts and commentators vowed to make Pride ‘toxic’ to brands.
