Pride Is About Liberty, Not Indoctrination: Why the Rainbow Still Matters
Too many people today dismiss Pride as a leftist indoctrination holiday or a sexualized spectacle. That narrative is wrong. Pride, at its core, was never about pushing sex or partisan politics; it was about survival and the protection of rights. It was born out of the struggle against criminalization and persecution, not out of a desire to divide America into cultural tribes.
Yet some argue the rainbow is just a political message. Too many generalize the LGBTQ community as an arm of the left, a monolithic group pushing one agenda. That is false. I founded Gays For Trump because I believed we could change minds. I believed that we could show that not all LGBTQ Americans are Democrats, that not every gay man or lesbian is “woke,” and that liberty belongs to all of us. I wanted to show that being gay does not mean being loyal to one political party.
But I’ll be honest, I’m not sure that today if it’s working today. Since 2020, with Ron DeSantis posting nasty videos mocking Trump’s outreach to the gay community, the tide has turned. Trump supported the global call to end the criminalization of homosexuality at the United Nations. Ric Grenell led the charge on that mission. Yet that spirit has been abandoned. Right-wing pundits who once embraced the idea of a big tent and diversity have sold out to the evangelist wing of the movement. The same voices that cheered the Tea Party and early MAGA’s rejection of religious gatekeeping now find it convenient to scapegoat gays, trans people, and anyone who does not fit their narrow view.
Pride has become a dirty word. Gays are told we are not welcome. Scapegoating has become the norm. A handful of radical activists are held up as proof that the entire LGBTQ community is dangerous or unworthy of respect. And the self-hate within the movement has spread—grassroots groups like the one I built to fight for inclusion and freedom now mirror the exclusionary tactics we were supposed to resist.
Meanwhile, rainbow crosswalk memorials are being erased. Laws are crafted to strip away community-funded symbols under the guise of “safety.” But let’s be honest: politics drives these removals. The rainbow is targeted not because it is unsafe but because it is inconvenient to an “anti-woke” agenda. Officials call it political when in reality, it is their political decision to erase it.
Ronald Reagan once warned that freedom is never more than a generation away from extinction. That is not a slogan—it is a reality. Across the world, countries are sliding backward. Burkina Faso has now joined the list of nations criminalizing homosexuality, with prison sentences of up to five years and fines attached [Al Jazeera](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/9/2/burkina-faso-bans-homosexuality-as-a-crime-punishable-with-prison-fines). In Uganda, laws already allow life imprisonment and even the death penalty under so-called “aggravated homosexuality.” Hungary has cracked down on Pride and LGBTQ expression. In country after country, rights are being rolled back.
And here in America, people sneer and say, “Why do we still need Pride?” This is why. Because we are never more than a generation away from losing it all. Because freedom cannot defend itself. Because silence is surrender.
I’ve seen the hypocrisy up close. I’ve been blacklisted from my own state’s Log Cabin Republicans page. I’ve been called everything from a fascist to a liberal Marxist just for speaking my mind as a Constitutionalist. I’ve watched “A-list gays” under Trump fail to step up and protect the grassroots activists who built this movement from the ground up.
But I refuse to surrender symbols like the rainbow or the meaning of Pride to the left, or to those who weaponize it as an insult. Pride is not about sex. It is not about indoctrination. It is about saying no government, no mob, no dictator has the right to erase our humanity.
Pride is about remembering that “We the People” includes all people. And if we forget that, we won’t just lose rainbows on our streets—we will lose liberty itself.
