Nearing the end of Pride month, and my wife's store in Deploraville (67.76% Trump) has sold about 10% of its Pride merchandise, and most of that was innocuous rainbow-colored jewelry. And that's after she made the display only half the size corporate recommended.
Store would have been better served having a "Let's Go Brandon" display of merchandise.

This is an interesting defense. Oh come on. It is definitely sarcastic, and a response to people equating them to pedophiles and miscreants for decades. Not understanding that is just as dense as the libs not understanding Roseanne was being sarcastic when she pretended to be a Holocaust denier a few days ago.

Not understanding that is just as dense as the libs not understanding Roseanne was being sarcastic when she pretended to be a Holocaust denier a few days ago. Even as jokes go, it's a pretty gross one. Seems to be as much an "I am Spartacus" moment as it is a denial of the charge. If we're all "groomers" then none of us are "groomers". But, the defense also flies in the face of the criticism that Whitman received when he offered a defense of SEC college students. When he suggested that they sang silly songs, that made them sound like unrepentant racists, in an ironic manner, that idea was largely shouted down.

You really think they’re all “coming for your children”?

You really think they’re all “coming for your children”? Obviously not. I think it's a gross joke, and I think our acknowledgement that this is a joke might make us reconsider who else might make inappropriate jokes.

If you call them child molesters, they'll have no choice but to become actual child molesters. At least that's how it works with white nationalism.

It wouldn’t be a sarcastic retort if that community wasn’t falsely accused of that distinction since the beginning of time. And it continues today.

Since we've established the standard, I guess the Biden 2024 campaign message needs to be, "We're coming for your guns."
Or maybe it's stupid.

They should have based this design on the Progress Pride Flag.
Trans people are unrepresented here as are people of color.

They cancelled a "Peaches Christ" performance?
I can't believe Google would back down to bigots like this.

How sad is it that this Orioles reporter felt he needed to shut off replies for this tweet to preempt the assholes.

You really think they’re all “coming for your children”? In a medical sense, even they don't deny it.

I didn’t even know that Canada had its own Pride Flag.
