Today is the last day of June, a month's celebration of equality and freedom. While Juneteenth celebrates the arrival of the news of the Emancipation Proclamation on Galveston Island, in Texas, it's been adopted to represent the emancipation of all enslaved people across the country. But there's another celebration that's attached to that Black history that's completely out of character with the struggles for human rights, equality, freedoms, decency, and rights.
To highlight personal encounters with obtaining life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and the attached struggle involved, the month of June is also associated with the struggle for LGBTQ rights as a shared concept of celebrating freedom for the community. This shared experience is an ongoing battle with the assumption that there's an interchange or intersection of the two completely different freedom movements.
The struggle for equal rights as citizens of the country was nothing but a common sense struggle, being they were officially deemed to be American citizens upon their emancipation and worthy of recognition and equal rights.
The Civil Rights movement wasn’t for recognition and equal rights for what has always been considered to be something decadent, nor recognition of the same decadent behavior.
LGBTQ struggles are still, as of this day centered around inclusion by recognizing the contributions of those who seek to establish themselves as something they are already, American citizens with inalienable rights to what they want to be. While that recognition has always been there for the LGBTQ community, it was without the violence and thousands of deaths Black Americans endured in their struggle for basic human decency and rights.
J.B. Ahurk, the American Thinker’s ‘Pride Remains a Sin’ opinion is interesting:
“As June comes to an end, so does the pagan festival of debauchery known as “Pride Month.” It has become an annual annoyance to find troupes of dancing gay men — usually semi-naked and engaging in various forms of erotic foreplay — overtaking public streets as the first warm days of summer return. It would be nice if the LGBTQ+ crowd — or “Alphabet people” to those without a special letter designation — could enjoy their civil rights without resorting to X-rated acts of exhibitionism in front of children and strangers. Alas, the celebration of sin seems to be “Pride Month’s” chief purpose, which surely explains why its proponents chose one of the deadliest sins — pride — as its defining attribute.” Read more
Along with this sentiment, what is considered 'Pride' is facing multiple challenges across the country with the forced, or indoctrinated doctrine that aims to transform kids in schools, which doesn't belong in schools in the first place.
The Supreme Court has ruled that parents in Montgomery County, Maryland, can opt their children out of public school lessons that include LGBTQ+-themed books. This decision, a victory for the parents who brought the case, stems from their religious objections to the school district's curriculum. The court's majority opinion, authored by Justice Alito, stated that the school board's policy of including these books without an opt-out option placed an "unconstitutional burden" on the parents' religious freedom.
Key points of the ruling:
The court sided with parents seeking to remove their children from classes where LGBTQ+-themed books are used. Read more
In Houston. ‘a new lawsuit against the Houston Independent School District (HISD) is accusing the district of using a name and pronouns that does not match the child's assigned sex at birth –a case that could have severe implications for Texas educators.’ Read more
As a result of the ongoing quest of the LGBTQ click's thirst to increase their numbers, they are facing a massive decline in approval and support.
Budweiser was the first to come to this realization.
Budweiser, through its parent company Anheuser-Busch, has a history of supporting the LGBTQ+ community, including through advertising campaigns and partnerships. However, in 2023, a promotional campaign featuring Dylan Mulvaney, a transgender influencer, led to significant backlash and boycotts, causing sales to decline and prompting some LGBTQ+ bars to stop selling Bud Light. Despite the controversy, Anheuser-Busch has stated its commitment to continuing its support for the LGBTQ+ community. Read more
In recent years, especially in 2025, there has been a notable trend of companies scaling back their public support for LGBTQ+ communities, particularly through Pride Month sponsorships and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Read more
Recent polling data suggests a slight decline in public support for LGBTQ+ rights in the United States after decades of increasing support. While majorities still support LGBTQ+ rights, including same-sex marriage and non-discrimination protections, there have been noticeable decreases in these areas. This shift is particularly evident among Republicans and some younger demographics. Read more
Message from the publisher:
A Texas Perspective is designed to be informative, historical, and educational, reflecting the ever-evolving political cultures in the country that no longer prioritize voters' interests. We have become a country that no longer knows where it came from, and as such, we're embarking upon that journey again without knowing it.
