The decline in support for gay marriage among Republicans (from 55% in 2022 to 37% in 2023) and independents reflects 'pride fatigue' caused by Pride's transformation from a celebration of love and acceptance into a coercive ideology that indoctrinates children with gender concepts, forces compelled speech, and demands conformity to trans activism, which has alienated mainstream Americans who previously supported gay rights.

Normie Americans Were Pushed Too Far and They Snapped
Added:I think the normy American take on gay people is I don't care if you're gay, just don't be so gay about it.
>> Girl, please.
Nobody's that gay.
>> Meaning, stop shoving pride down our throats and up our asses.
>> Phrase it.
>> Two stories making the rounds demonstrate this perfectly. Controversy over Major League Baseball hats and California requiring proof of your gayness to be awarded public utilities contracts. After 2022 peak, recent Gallup poll shows that support for gay marriage in the Republican Party has declined for the first time in years. It has fallen to 37% down from 55% in 2022.
It's down among independents as well.
Democratic support has remained the same, but pride fatigue is a real thing.
>> Is this line for HETEROSEXUALS ONLY?
>> [laughter] >> UH NO, IT WAS >> GOOD, BECAUSE I'M GAY.
>> THE way this [ __ ] is framed in these articles, the Gallup articles, is so dishonest. It reads, "This change has come as conservative leaders have pushed back against diversity, equity, and inclusion programs that were intended to foster greater acceptance of LGBTQ people and other historically disadvantaged groups." Oh, oh, that's what it was. You see, I thought pride was losing the public because teenagers started chopping their body parts off and everyone had to pretend they wanted drag queens reading to their kids and people would have their lives ruined for not using the right pronouns.
>> Women prisoners who misgender trans inmates face extra jail time.
>> I think it was when trans women demanded women at spas wax their balls. I'm pretty sure it's when men started competing in women's sports and when they started putting tampons in the men's room and when Target started selling tuck-friendly swimwear, that that the support started to plummet.
Even our big gay audience agrees, by the way. You have pushed the normies too far. In June of 2023, I wrote about this for Spectator magazine in a piece called How Pride Lost the Public. It was the height, as those of you may remember, of the Bud Light Dylan Mulvaney backlash.
>> This month I celebrated my day 365 of womanhood, and Bud Light sent me possibly the best gift ever, a can with my face on it.
>> And the Target boycott. And not to brag, but Queen of Turf Island, Her Majesty J.K. Rowling, SHARED THIS PIECE.
>> WELL, [screaming and groaning] BLOODY FREAKING DUH.
>> IN IT, I asked what happened to Pride.
After decades of progress for gay rights, majority acceptance of gay marriage, and same-sex relationships, Pride is divisive again. And for the article, I spoke to very prominent LGBT thinkers and writers. Andrew Sullivan summarized it perfectly. The core reason for the backlash is pretty simple, children. The attempt to indoctrinate children in gender ideology and to trans them on the verge of puberty has changed the debate. Start indoctrinating and transing children, and you will re-energize one of the oldest homophobic tropes there is, gays are child molesters.
>> If the shoe fits, you must wear it.
>> And as I said in my article, this is the problem with Pride. You can no longer opt out of the ideology. The trans activism changed everything. It's coercive. It's everywhere. SUCK MY DICK, BIGOT, is a long way from love is love.
>> [laughter] >> We've covered the Pride TM overreach for years on Dumpster Fire. There was a woman who went viral with her video tutorial of how to explain kink to kids when they see something at a Pride parade that might confuse them.
>> So, those people were doing a type of adult dress-up. And just like when you put on your dinosaur costume, and that makes you feel good, when they put on those things, it makes them feel really good.
>> What is going on? Let's keep the conversation about kink to Let's keep it to adults. We can't forget Pride puppy, the pre-K book with terms like intersex, drag queen, underwear leather. And of course, there was Skittles releasing a colorless candy because there's only one rainbow that matters during Pride month.
We had pronoun water bottles, calling women uterus havers, and the CDC guidance endorsing chest feeding describing the insane cocktail of drugs that men can take to induce some sort of mutant breast milk so they can satisfy a fetish and breastfeed a baby.
>> I call it the mammary gland.
>> I couldn't even take a [ __ ] Advil when I was pregnant. You're telling these males that they're supposed to take this [ __ ] >> phrasing >> tail of drugs which include but are not limited to estrogen, antipsychotics, a drug that's off market. And all of this has led to Pride fatigue. And let me tell you though, I went to Target the other day. Sorry, honey.
>> How dare you?
>> I know I'm not allowed.
>> [laughter] >> He's shaking his head.
>> I'll deal with that later.
>> [music] >> I went to Target the other day and there wasn't a rainbow in sight. It was all red, white, and blue displays. So clearly someone got the memo. The corporations got the message that they needed to dial back the Pride in transing kids and dial up the Pride in America.
>> [ __ ] YEAH.
>> WHAT I hate and what most people hate this compelled speech.
That is me who hates it. Most people hate it. My toddler really hates it.
What I despise is Pride being treated like a state religion. And I want to be clear. We here at Dumpster Fire love the gays. We've got lots of the old school gay fans on this show. They know we love them. They've been mostly agreeing with us this whole time. We love the gays, the lesbians, the trans who aren't out of their minds, all two of them. But the bis?
>> The bees are [ __ ] gross.
>> Getting older is rough, especially when you have to do it on camera. But even when you have to do it off camera, it's still rough. My solution is my Bon Charge red light face mask.
