It’s Pride Month, and people have had enough of pride.

It’s a deadly sin, after all, one which has brought down more kings, kingdoms, and communities than anyone would care to enumerate.

You have to have the flag! The same way that Cosmo Kramer was “required” to wear the ribbon at the AIDS walk.

People are pushing back precisely because they “have to.” This is America!
