If you logged onto X this weekend, you probably noticed your feed exploding with rainbow flags, Pride hashtags, and Democratic politicians tripping over themselves to shout “Happy Pride Month!” louder than the next.
Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer posted. Senator Cory Booker (who wants to be president) posted. Failed VP candidate Tim Walz issued a proclamation. Even Sesame Street posted.
In Michigan, our LGBTQ+ community is strong, vibrant, and a vital part of who we are.⁰⁰Pride is about honoring your courage, your joy, and the work you do every day to move us forward. I’ll keep fighting to make sure Michigan is a safe, welcoming place for everyone 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ pic.twitter.com/mvdT5ZcJnF

So Pride has an entire MONTH – but the celebration of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence and the birth of the United States of America only gets a day – July 4th.
Yes, Independence Day – the one holiday that actually unites Americans instead of segregating them into groups as the Democrats do – only gets ONE DAY of celebration.
America’s founding doesn’t get a month of parades or spontaneous flag displays in every storefront. But in the name of Pride, Dems roll out 30 days of drag shows, Pride story hours, and rainbow-soaked film festivals and concerts.
Democrats love to preach about “inclusion,” but let’s be honest – what they really do is cater to their favorite voter blocs. Their version of inclusivity isn’t about uniting Americans; it’s about spotlighting identity politics for women, Latinos, LGBTQ+ voters, and anyone else who fits their narrative. If you’re not part of their preferred groups or you dare to think differently, you’re left out of their celebrations.
But let’s not pretend they’re embracing Pride month out of deep moral courage. It’s political currency. It’s a big, flashy virtue signal with a parade float and a carefully rehearsed soundbite.
What the Dems are really doing is segmenting the population into voting blocks and tossing them promises, money, legislation and their own holidays. Meanwhile, regular Americans – veterans, working families, the people who actually built this country – are left holding a sparkler and a hot dog on July 4th – for only ONE day.
So here we are. It’s June. The flag that flies this month has six colors, and if you try flying the one with fifty stars instead, you will probably be called something nasty.
And along those lines, here’s Steve Gruber’s latest post about the whole thing…
I only have one flag: the American flag. 🇺🇸
