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!

Yeah, I suppose I was coming from the position they’ve been the ruling party for so long. But it’s true that Sinn Fein’s position isn’t much better. Although they will contemplate abortion in very limited cases. Which by the standards over there is almost liberal by comparison.
Then why isn’t all porn free? Is George Soros running out of money, or what?
I didn’t know how to get the flag react until I read this article.
This means that RoK recruited me into the gay cult.
Very slightly off topic:
I’ve noticed that it’s becoming fashionable among the ones who consider themselves ‘rational’ to dislike pride parades, with people re- and reposting the odd comment or two by a person claiming to be gay disliking the parades, using terms like ‘degenerate’ and ‘deviant’ and wondering why the gays can’t just be invisible.
Being liberal has been a long lesson in finding out that some people may be comfortable with the idea of something, but not with the reality of it. I predict we’re going to see sharply increased homophobia among those we label ‘liberal’, and it’ll start with comments to the tune of “I support gay rights, but…”
They found ‘liberal’ and ‘progressive’ excuses to not have to vote for a woman, so they’ll find excuses to hate people who have the wrong sexuality. I’m sure as shit going to my local pride parade this year.
Hello.
Jewish pornography ? Woody Allen movies ?
And maybe also the book cover, “The gay dogs” being a pun for “The goy dags” (of RoK) ?
Anyway, it looks more like Whinnyfield than Winnfield. And i am fed up with the “i have nothing and will tell nothing against X, but i think X is [feel free to fill]”. Do i write that “i will not write that RoKers have a mind so narrow that a neutrino can not find its way through, but i think RoKers shit hate in bricks and make a impenetrable wall with them”.
Have a nice day.
A few years ago, the Canadian government cracked down on porn, especially gay porn. Apparently the industry hadn’t been following the rules about 35% “clearly Canadian content”- a singled-out offender being a show called something like “Gay Men of Toronto”. I don’t know if they were supposed to wear Mountie hats or have maple leaf tattoos….
My local independent-league minor league baseball team had their first ever LGBTQ pride night* earlier this months. My wife (who I got to marry me by using all sorts of alpha game) and I attended with two gay friends. There were lots of rainbow flags, a gay men’s choir desecrated the national anthem by singing beautifully while gay, and now I’m gay. If only I had paid more attention to Roosh’s warnings.
*In all seriousness, one of the friends and I were talking later that even 5 years ago we wouldn’t have imagined they’d have a pride night in our little redneck town. Or, if there had been, there would have been protesters outside trying to pray the gay away. In a whole year of defeats, it felt like a quiet victory.
@Mike Newsham
Maple figleafs, perhaps? 😛
I do love that there was a concern over the porn industry not being sufficiently Canadian. That’s just awesome.
Original meaning of pederasty – gay butt sex. Check out the writings of Victorian explorer Sir Richard Francis ‘Ruffian Dick’ Burton. Got to be amused by his talent for starting fist fights – while working as a diplomat.
OT:
A 21st century form of stress: ordering a takeaway meal, then watching on the tracking app as the deliverator rides all over fucking town. Looks like I’m in for a cold lunch today.
Update: they’ve just left Mornington Crescent. I think they may actually be playing Mornington Crescent.
@Mish Yeah, the CRTC can be brutal in that regard. It applies only to broadcast content (which I assume Mike was referring to) so anything internet-based is anybody’s game, but I gotta admit… I think that policy has paid dividends.
I’m thinking mostly back to my Big Shiny Tunes collections (which I think I’ve brought up in prior threads). For those Mammotheers not Canuckian, back in the halcyon days of the mid-to-late 90s, MuchMusic (Canada’s MTV) began putting out compilation albums of its most popular songs. IIRC, they had two series: the Much Dance series and Big Shiny Tunes. Much Dance was always labelled by year (Much Dance 1998, Much Dance 1999), while BST was given a number with the first being released in 1996. Coming at the tail end of the Grunge scene and the onset of Alternative rock, early BST offered an eclectic mix music chart toppers in Canada. For every Semi-Charmed Life, there was a Money City Maniacs. For every Dragula, there was an Apparitions. If it weren’t for the CanCon regulations, I may never have heard of Matthew Good, Sloan, The Tea Party, Big Wreck, Our Lady Peace just to name a few of the Canadian acts that stuck with me as a result of those compilations.
On the other hand… those also introduced me to Nickelback. *shudder*
Well, Happy 150 Canada… may you continue to rock out with your… uh… socks out!
@ crinoid
Either “everything after ‘but’ is bullshit”, or everything before “but” is a lie….

Apologies for the OT, but I’m still shaking a little and oh what fun I seem to be crying. Just got back from accompanying someone to their disability support “interview”; I’m sure I’ve been as stressed, but never more. I wish I were a barrister with years of experience specialising in disability rights; I would have needed to be, to defend the person I was with as they need and deserve. Not that there was probably anything in the least bit unusual or specially horrible about the interview, not at all; the whole system is simply (ha! “simply”) designed and set up to prove that the person can be given less or no support and legitimise removing it.
Haven’t slept properly for several nights worrying about this, and I suspect it’s going to be quite a while and a lot more nights before I can stop replaying it in my head and thinking of all the things I should have said …
I did my best, and the person I was accompanying did their best, and we will see in some weeks from now.
I just sort of felt the need to say something.
Hoping things are good and well for you all, and that you all are as good and well as you can be.
I feel you on that, Opposable Thumbs. That’s one of the reasons I’m for universal basic income. The hoops disabled people have to jump through to get support are absolutely ridiculous. My dad is constantly doing paperwork on behalf of my brother. And I mean constantly. At least once a week, they ask for more information. Often times info that’s already been provided. It makes me think the system is designed to force people into just giving up even trying to get benefits. I would not be in the least surprised if they spent more money trying to keep people from getting benefits than they do actually paying out benefits. They make my brother go in once a year and take all sorts of tests to prove he’s still disabled. There’s no cure for autism, so why in the everloving fuck would he be suddenly not autistic in a year’s time?
I get stressed just watching my dad deal with this stuff. I’m scared for when my parents die and I’m the one who has to help my brother. I don’t know how I’m going to deal with it.
In Canada, there is a case of a vet having to prove each year to Veterans Affairs that his missing limb hasn’t grown back. 😛
@Alan Robertshaw ROFL!!
Canadian porn must include Barenaked Ladies.
WWTH, fuck that’s even worse – a lot worse! Constantly asking for more evidence etc. even as often as every week, jesus H christ on a bike that’s essentially harassment, and harassment of the most vulnerable at that. (Info already provided? Yup. It turned out at the interview that they were inexplicably missing a key document that I know had been sent in with the main dossier (because I saw it go into the envelope with my own eyes, and wrote it on a list of enclosed items at the end of the main file)). (Luckily I had taken a photocopy of all the enclosures with me, so they had to offer to photocopy my photocopy and keep a copy for themselves. )
This has been very seriously raised here. The “interviews” have been farmed out to private companies who are making a nice profit out of it. I completely forget, my brain having gone a bit swiss cheesy now, but come to think of it are you in the UK? If so we’re probably looking at the exact same pile-up.
I hope you don’t mind sharing a massive really tight hug for a moment.
I’m in the US, so it’s probably even worse here.
Bear hugs!

“I support gay rights, but…” — followed by something deeply homophobic.
“I’m a feminist, but…” — followed by something undeniably sexist.
“I’m not a racist, but” — followed by something jaw-droppingly racist.
Every time I hear somebody say “…but…”, I know what’s coming. And then I glimpse my own brain before I black out from all the unexamined cognitive dissonance.
I really wish they’d quit with all the but-but-butting, and just say the bigoted thing. No caveats, no prefaces, no varnish. And then sit down and ask themselves why they’re such bigots underneath their “civilized” veneer. And maybe resolve to do something about all that.
But clearly, even that little hint of self-awareness is too much to ask for. And, as we’ve seen with Laci Green, “do something” too often means “giving in to unadmitted bigotry and just going full Nazi”.
I’m not a racist butt… yes you are :-0
*sigh* Also, which religious symbol was originally a blue button with “like” written on it?
In news that’ll upset tne bigots, Germany has apparently made same-sex marriage legal.
Scott Adams still isn’t sure Sarin was used in Khan Shaykhun. Because our UN Ambassador said “sarin or sarin-like weapons” were used. Apparently that means that she’s not sure it was sarin, so it might be wrong.
What it really means: the chemical test used to detect sarin also detects things like sarin which are also toxic. She was being precise about the test results, not “unsure whether it was sarin”.
Thank you for the bear hugs, WWTH! That is exactly the size and strength of hug I was after :-s
In the US, yes the situation is undoubtedly much worse. (Of course the Tories are working hard on catching up to the US as much as they can, but we are way behind still.)
That’s how drug-testing welfare recipients turned out.
