The fellas at internet garbage site Return of Kings are celebrating Pride Month, a little tardily, with a post attacking Facebook for adding a “degenerate” rainbow flag to its menu of “like” buttons, which users can access by liking the official LGBTQ@Facebook page. Or, as the author of the RoK piece, one Rufus Winnfield, puts it, the “button is only active if you show active approval for homosexuals on the site.”
Winnfield was so afraid of catching teh gey himself that he didn’t bother liking the LGBT page to check out what the button looks like, which results in him calling the flag-shaped flag icon “a little rainbow ball.” (Not to be confused with the Star Wars Cuck Ball.)
Apparently teh gey is quite contagious, as Winnfield goes on to explain how Facebook’s addition of this tiny optional button shows that the site “is recruiting you to the gay cult.” Winnfield evidently worries that the cute little button will lure unsuspecting readers of RoK into “liking” gay things on Facebook; next thing they know they’ll be dancing on a float at the Pride Parade wearing the collar of their leather daddy.
Winnfield isn’t a big fan of Pride Month in general.
“Establishing a pride month for the gays is legitimizing them as if they’re black,” he explains to RoK readers, many of whom actually hate black people.
It’s a savvy move by the gay community to adopt everything that isn’t heterosexual, monogamous sex as part of their movement under the ever-increasing umbrella of their rather clunky acronym.
This may backfire upon them if they over-extend their relevancy by endorsing the next big thing like pederasty or bestiality, but, for now, their strategy seems to suck up everyone who isn’t completely straight in the head.
Channeling the Westboro Baptist Church, Winnfield goes on to explain that the whole gay rainbow thing is an insult to gay-hating God.
Since America has been a primarily Christian country since it got started, many things, like Jewish pornography and Satanism, exist solely to bash on it. Supposedly the gay rainbow flag represents a lot of things, but the rainbow was originally God’s promise that He would not ever flood the earth again after the great flood. Seems like it’s part of the gay M.O. to pervert religious symbols.
While Winnfield assures his readers that really, he’s “got no issue with a dude liking another dude,” he asks plaintively why these dude-liking-dudes
have to spread their degeneracy to everyone, including children? … Do they hate Western culture so much that they would drop the birth rate so far below the replacement rate that Islam can just waltz right in in two generations, throw them off the nearest rooftop, and set up a caliphate?
Winnfield is really covering all the bases, hate-wise, huh?
In the interest of covering all my own bases, let’s end this post, which started with gay dogs, with a gay cat.
Enjoy the rest of Pride Month, everyone!
Hey, it’s a Man from C.A.M.P cover!
aaaaah the Gay Cult. i’m a longstanding member. i’ll be hosting our local Gay Cult Bake Sale this week.
Wanna note how interesting things have gotten. Like it was only a few years back when everyone was fighting back the WBC for their bile spewed on the lgbt community (among many others).
Now fast forward and you have RoK that is falling in line with the WBC on lgbt rights.
Except even the WBC’s Fred Phelps was against racism.
I cannot say I’ve been afraid of catching it, but I can think of worse things to catch.
Happy Pride Month to all!
Yes, God forbid people actually give gay folks legitimacy like the blacks demanded!
OH, THE HORROR!! NEXT WOMEN WILL WANT RIGHTS, OR SOMETHING!
I am so going to read all of the Man From C. A. M. P. books! I wonder if there’s an omnibus edition, like the Big Book of Lesbian Horse Stories?
Just like the only reasons they’d care to interact with women are sex and family, they only care about PoCs is to try not looking like a bigot when they are bashing another minority group.
Psst…Swastika.
Or burning crosses.
So THAT’S where the term “Camp Gay” came from. *snicker*
Wait. Unnatural orange skin, bright yellow combover, running around in his tighty whities… Is the dude on the magazine cover Trump?
Alt-reich FB pages are already being bombarded by the rainbow flag. Small in the grand scheme of things, but i still love it.
Politics here (UK) is getting weird.
As you may know we just had an election. Today was what’s called the Queen’s Speech. That’s when the government sets out its agenda for the next Parliament. In order to get the agenda through, the government must get a majority of votes.
As you may also know the Tories had to do a deal with ultra right DUP for their support. So what did the DUP ask for? A load of cash for social spending stuff like guaranteed pension increases and extra cash for the health service and welfare.
Then a labour MP put forward an amendment saying the government should pay for women in Ireland who wanted abortions to come to Britain so they could have free ones here (abortion is illegal in Ulster, mainly due to the DUP). That was intended merely to highlight how regressive the DUP are; amendments like that rarely pass. But then a load of Tory MPs said they’d support the amendment. So rather than allow the amendment to go forward (which would have been seen as a ‘defeat’) the government just made it official policy and bunged it in the Queen’s Speech anyway.
Interesting, if a bit confusing, times indeed.
I was wondering how you were supposed to get those rainbow buttons! Only now at the end of June do I find out.
Hi all, I’m Seph.
As a gay trans woman who also happens to be actively Christian, I always find it jarring when people like the charming man posted in the OP act as though Christians and LGBTQ people are mutually exclusive groups. Surprisingly enough there are lots of queer Christians, as well as (gasp) cishet Christians who are not awful bigots.
@runsin: This omnibus edition has 3 of the novels: https://www.amazon.com/Man-C-M-P-Victor-Banis/dp/1934531200
>The Man From CAMP
Added to reading list, various cleverly named sequels may end up on that list too depending on how I like the first one.
I’ve heard similar lines from lots of people but strangely it makes the most sense coming from PUAs. After all they believe (against all evidence) in the extraordinary effectiveness of cheap psychological trickery to make people abandon their true desires and sleep with someone they don’t want. The whole thing feels of terror that someone might do the same thing to them, only without the self awareness to realise it.
Some gay people are black
Just because the US is majority Christian, does not mean it is a Christian country. The constitution is explicitly secular and the very first treaty we ever signed, the Treaty of Tripoli goes out of its way to state that we are not a Christian country. Yes fella, our first treaty was with Muslims. Also, while Facebook is a US company, that does not mean all FB users are USian.
Um, no? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainbow_flag_(LGBT_movement)
Pride isn’t just for gay men. There’s an L a B a T and a Q in there too, you know.
And here I am, thinking FB is being too neutral on the subject by making the pride reaction optional.
Which religious symbol was originally a blue flag with “like” in white on it?
Rainbows are also a symbol of greed, what with the pot of gold at the end. And a symbol of “Isn’t refraction and reflection grand?”
Where’s my Pan Cult, eh?
@kupo
Yes, there’s been a lot of discourse in the queer community to the effect that it says a lot that the mother’s day flower was rolled out to everyone, but the pride react is opt-in (and unreliably so) . Also the whole matter of FB’s ‘real name’ policy being used to harass trans people, banning members of oppressed groups for talking about hate speech but not nazis for perpetrating it, etc. makes rather a mockery of a new emoji to react with.
FWIW regarding The Man from C.A.M.P., I haven’t had the chance to read any myself but I get the vibe they’re very much a case of Fair For Its Day (having been written between 1966-1968), so they might seem pretty quaint or even have a few cringeworthy moments.
I love how campy the original meanings of the stripes are. Sunshine! Magic!
