Pride month, at least the way it is currently celebrated, is shameful. It’s weird. It salutes an entire class of people for no other reason than their sexual and/or gender preference. It makes the country look like a joke. Instead of celebrating this weird movement that focuses on an extremely small subset of the American population, why not shift the focus to people working to make a positive impact in the lives of tens of millions of boys and girls across this great country— fathers.
Celebrate Fathers AND Mothers
Now, I know what you’re thinking—what about mothers? You can pretty much take everything included in this article and apply it to the month of May. But since this website is about father-related topics, the focus will be centered on fathers and the month of June.
Putting that all aside, it is inarguable that the priorities of this country have shifted so far that no one is ashamed by anything anymore. You can come to that conclusion by watching people literally dress themselves in pajamas and slippers before going to the grocery store. So trendy!
It’s A Gay/Trans World
However, if you are trans or gay, the most powerful institutions in this country—Fortune 500 companies, the media, government, higher education—will bend over backward to appease you. Why? Well, it’s largely because people are too afraid of speaking up for fear of losing their job or their reputation. It’s much easier to just keep your thoughts to yourself despite the moral fabric of the country unraveling.
I, on the other hand, couldn’t care less what people, particularly the left, say. The pride movement, in my humble opinion, is bullsh*t. The rate of mental illness in this country over the past decade directly correlates to the amount of men who want to be women and the women who want to be men. And instead of getting these people help, the ‘influencers’ in society have lionized the movement. They’ve steamrolled over Americans who want to shield their children from it. They’ve even glorified failed males athletes who compete in women’s sports. It’s lunacy.
Why Do We Only Get One Day?
Compare this month-long movement to mothers and fathers who get one day of dedicated appreciation each year. Of course, as society moves further away from the traditional nuclear family, it’s not surprising the left would want to ignore mothers and fathers—particularly white ones. Unless, of course, that father is one of two in a particular household.
But I have the fix!
Eliminate ‘Pride Month’ in favor of ‘Father Appreciation Month’.
Instead of celebrating gays and trans, let’s honor the hard-working men in this country who are helping to mold the next generation.
Rather than counting the number of NFL teams that don’t send out stupid fuc*ing tweets to recognize Pride Month, count the numbers of teams who recognize the role that good fathers play in creating the next generation of business owners, police officers, tradesmen, and military officers.
Ways We Can Honor Fathers
Alternatively, instead of rooting for dudes who swim competitively against women, why not highlight the single dads across this country who try to juggle work and raising children.
Maybe instead of Bud Light using woke trans activists to advertise their beer, they can give away beer to dads who post pictures on social media playing with their kids.
Of course, the good fathers aren’t raising their kids for recognition, awards or praise by the mainstream media. Hell, most of us are just trying to get through the day. And those of us who had children for the right reason just want to raise healthy, independent, God-fearing, and productive members of society. But if society is going to take time to recognize people, why not do it for those who are actually accomplishing something worthwhile?
Let’s Do Something Worthwhile
We celebrate so much bullsh*t nowadays. Participation trophies. Preschool and kindergarten graduations. Half birthdays. One month anniversaries. I have a friend whose girlfriend celebrated a ‘birthday week’ at the age of 27. All of these things, as dumb as they are, are significantly more worthwhile than Pride Month.
So let’s dedicate June to something that is worthwhile—fathers and their efforts towards shaping future generations.
