Grady is in Polk county and it’s heavy white nasty people where meth labs are common. It’s a huge mostly rural county with Lakeland is their largest city. I sits between Orlando and Tampa and it’s the truckers paradise.
He has a huge problem with crime. I was there one year with DHS. A Vet sold drugs - and his buyers would sell their young girls for sex to get high. He filmed a lot of it. There was crap in his house I have no idea what it was used for and my boss said - just bag it and don’t ask - you don’t want to know.
I say these are the folks you should chase down. They are not, for the most part, your gays or trans.
Sounds like my post was right it's a moral breakdown. Do you know that gays try to recruit and that's just what they're doing today. You don't realize this you are blind and dumb. They are no different than drug dealers as they push their poison in the classrooms too young children. They are books that are showing pornography to little kids in third grade. Teachers are bringing in sex toys and showing them to young teenagers. They don't fire these teachers. This is getting really bad.
What the **** are you talking about dip****? This is literally what Republicans are doing with all of their ranting and raving over pride symbols and banning books. There's no way you're this stupid.
Don't count on it.
This is the same poster a fair while back who posted that Canada was a socialist hell hole, totally forgetting that in an earlier post, they said that Vancouver, BC is one city they would like to live in.

Why IS all of this suddenly taking place more frequently in the last few years?
It isn't. It's because it's being focused on by various media and used as yet another thing to rile up people. These things aren't *new*. Most companies who acknowledge pride month have done so before 2023. Why is it considered a big deal in 2023? Because it's a useful tool to trigger those who don't like it, the articles and commentary get clicks and eyeballs (advertiser $$$$), and people in a rage looking for the next thing to be angry about eat it up!
Triggered people repost articles on other forums (like here as one example) to get attention and 'likes.' It's media manipulation and the bait is always taken and spread.

Pride month and drag queens are nothing new. What is new is that homophobia is back in style. This is how it was back in the 80s/90s, but you didn't have social media back then. If you watched the 700 club however, you knew about everything the gay community was supposedly doing.
It's not. But the knee-jerk conservative politicians keep calling it to the public's attention in their zeal to court right wing evangelical Christians.
Nope...look at what the driving factor is, or should I say what group is the driving factor.
Before this certain group pushed their agenda
Lesbian women were not demanding access to men's rooms
Gay men were not demanding access to women's rooms
Don't recall hearing complaints about Gays or Lesbian reading stories to children
You didn't have gay men saying that they wanted to compete against women.
Didn't have schools telling parents that they have no rights if their child wants to take drugs or have procedures done to their bodies.

Surprised you really have to ask the question about this symbol of "Inclusiveness"? You will never include everyone and therefore someone will always be EXCLUDED.
Show me on the "PRIDE" Flag the section for White Christian males.

Good grief, do you people even listen to yourselves?
You should take your own advice and look at what you are posting. As this is nothing more than the typical Liberal overreaction and stereotyping.
There are many parents who don't want various types of PDAs in front of their children, Hetero, Homo or otherwise. But it is a lot easier to tell a Hetero couple to stop groping at each other than to tell a Gay/Lesbian couple to stop. One couple will generally stop as they are "embarrassed" that they were caught, and one couple has no issue labeling you a homophobe for even hinting that they are doing anything wrong.
As for your comment on Wedding gowns, I think you would find several Lesbians who disagree with your assessment that they are for straight women only.

The gift shop at Cracker Barrell used to have plenty of Christian-themed merchandise. I can't imagine that's changed.

I know this quite well. I lived in SF from the early '80s through the 90's. Seeing the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence at events was always fun. I never watched the 700 club or anything religious or evangelical, but I certainly knew about homophobia from hearing about it from my gay buds.
