From "Leave Us Alone" to "Celebrate Us": Is Pride Month Losing Steam? (Ep 623)

Has Pride Month reached its peak?Pigweed and Crowhill discuss the origins of Pride Month, the Stonewall riots, the changing meaning of the word "pride," and why June feels different than it did just a few years ago. Along the way they explore corporate virtue signaling, rainbow branding, LGBTQ activism, transgender controversies, compelled speech in sports, and whether the movement has expanded so far that it is beginning to generate its own backlash.The conversation also touches on biblical views of pride, the difference between accomplishment and identity, and why some activists, corporations, athletes, and even members of the LGBTQ community appear less enthusiastic than they once were.Plus: a Southern Maryland IPA from Calvert Brewing Company.#PrideMonth #Stonewall #CultureWar #LGBTQ #Politics #CurrentEvents #BeerAndConversation #PigweedAndCrowhill
