LGBT advocates seek to soften Pride Month in response to backlash -
State lawmakers have introduced more than 400 bills limiting LGBTQ programming and passed 75 of them into law this year, according to the American Civil Liberties Union and Human Rights Campaign.
“I think sexual orientation is very personal and shouldn’t be placed in a public arena,” Mr. Gallagher, 42, told The Washington Times. “These Pride events are driven by excess and it damages mental health.” They’re part of Faith for Pride — an initiative of the progressive Interfaith Alliance, a Washington-based network of Christians, Muslims, Jews, Hindus and other religious congregations.
Founded in 1972, the reformed Jewish congregation claims to be the first synagogue in the world that caters to LGBTQ people. “Pride events will never be ‘family friendly,’” Sheri Few, president of United States Parents Involved in Education, said in an email Friday. “Attempting to make ‘LGBTQ Pride’ palatable for children is merely another way to indoctrinate children with the leftist agenda.”
Last June, Burger King rolled out a “Pride Whopper” for customers in Austria that featured “two equal” top buns or bottom buns. The company apologized after a viral backlash from the LGBTQ community on Twitter.
