Yes, it seems way more muted this year than it has in many years. Granted, I live in the American South, so we’re way more conservative—Target re-arranged their “Pride” displays in Southern stores last summer because we were so infuriated about the wiener-tucking clothes they were marketing to children—but I think it’s nationwide. Anecdotally, I’ve noticed that even really progressive people are not playing it up on social media as much as they usually do. That might be the bigger indicator: the popularity of “Pride” is passing.

I think, too, that there is a divide in the American Left at the moment between the LGBTQ2IA+etc. movement and the “Free Palestine” movement. Both sides feel “betrayed” by the other for whatever reason.

Huh, I thought it was just me too! I am glad to know you have seen the same thing, in another Western country. Thanks for the props and the link to your post.

Praise the Lord re: the conversion of Muslims to Christianity. Christ Is King! Jesus Is Lord!
