ICYMI, "Pride Month" is (finally) OVER!

Scraped from The Patriot Post.

What does Islam really teach about homosexuality?

You know how people say you can't be homosexual and still be a follower of the Prophet? And other liberal people say that's a lie made up by right-wingers such as your obedient servant? Check out "A practical guide for Muslims on how to navigate LGBTQ Pride month".

That allegedly homophobic guide helping Muslims navigate through Pride Month, was published by 5Pillars, a prominent Muslim news organization known in Broken Britain for supporting the Green Party and other forms of wokeism. But gay culture, it seems, is strictly haram!

The short “practical” guide for Western Muslim invaders emphasizes that, according to Islamic texts and scholars, both homosexual acts and same-sex marriage are forbidden and immoral. 

Although it states that same-sex attraction, being involuntary, is not inherently sinful, it encourages homosexual Muslims to seek conversion therapy because acting on their desires is "religiously prohibited." Homosexuality is framed as an affliction that calls for "compassion without compromise."

Good Islamic parents are advised to monitor their children's information diet -- the information, misinformation and disinformation kids get through schools, social media or pop culture -- and to "neutralize" LGBT-friendly messages through Islamic teaching.

5Pillars bills itself as "the largest English-language Muslim news site in Europe, Australia and the Americas". If they have even half the hundreds of thousands of followers they claim, 5Pillars is definitely not a fringe voice.

In related news: The wokesters at the University of Western Ontario in London (ON -- not the big one) have got their pink knickers all in a twist when followers of the Prophet compained about this image posted on social media, which shows four couples -- none of them straight and white -- including two women in the traditional Muslim hijab, about to share a kiss. 

The image drew fierce criticism from some Muslims, which Western acknowledged in a message issued yesterday announcing why they'd removed the post. "Our intent with the post was to demonstrate Western's unwavering support for the 2SLGBTQ+ community on the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia," the post said. 

"We also understand the image was upsetting for some members of the Muslim community." UWO statement went on to say that the post was intended to trigger discussions about how to support queer Muslims. "In order to promote that discussion, we have removed the image from the post to not distract from these important conversations."

A post on The Change.org describes the image of two women wearing the hijab and about to kiss as "offensive." The text goes on to say that the post uses the image of two Muslim women in a way that is insensitive and overtly sexual. "The depiction of the hijab in such a context is disrespectful, tokenizing, and attempting to redefine elements of the hijab by sexualizing and fetishizing an element of Islamic religion that is supposed to desexualize and encapsulate modesty."

A statement issued by the London Council of Imams also supported the decision to have the post taken down. "While we understand that the intent of the poster published on by May17.org is to promote inclusion, we can see that the goal was not met and the means used were contrary to inclusion. Many were left with the impression that Muslims were singled out in having a symbol of their religion included in the poster." The statement went on to say that posting the image led to "hateful comments" being directed at Muslims. "We unequivocally reject any hateful statement directed toward any religion or group based on their religion, culture, ethnicity, and/or sexual orientation." 

But wait, there's more. The headline on Canadian website CP24 reads: "Pride flag burned at Markham school, 2 suspects facing charges". York Region police say two suspects are facing charges in a "potentially hate-motivated incident" that saw a Markham ON school's Pride flag burned.

The coppers responded to an unnamed school located near Yonge Street and Clark Avenue in Markham on Tuesday for reports that the flag had been burned. Investigators determined that two suspects attended the school a day earlier at approximately 2300 and removed the flag from its holder, ripped it, and attempted to set it on fire.

Walt doesn't understand how such an act can be "potentially" hate-motivated. Is that like being "potentially pregnant"? Seems to me an act either is or is not hate-motivated. Perhaps it's a question of proof, rather than jumping to conclusions.

But wait. The two 18-year-old suspects have now been identified as Sepehr Abadar and Mahan Mohammad Radmard, both of Markham, both former students of the school. The young Mohammedans have each been charged with mischief under $5000, and police have now deleted the "potentially" from their account of the incident. A spokesthingy told the meejua "York Regional Police takes all hate-motivated incidents seriously and will not tolerate any form of hate crime."

Enough already with the pandering to the alphabet people!

From the Babylon Bee: 12 Inspiring Bible Passages About Pride

Already? Again? Yes, Pride Month began today, making this the perfect time to see what inspirational passages can be found in God's Word (KJV) that pertain to the subject. Kick your pride up a notch and pass these comforting verses on to the gays in your life: 

Genesis 19:24-25: "Then the Lord rained on Sodom and Gomorrah sulfur and fire from the Lord out of heaven. And he overthrew those cities, and all the valley, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground." 

Leviticus 18:22: "You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination." 

Leviticus 20:13: "If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them." 

Job 35:12: "There they cry out, but he does not answer, because of the pride of evil men." 

Proverbs 8:13: "The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil. Pride and arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate." 

Proverbs 16:18: "Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall." 

Daniel 4:37: "Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, for all his works are right and his ways are just; and those who walk in pride he is able to humble." 

Romans 1:27: "and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error." 

I Corinthians 6:9-10: "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God." 

James 4:6: "But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, 'God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.'" 

Jude 1:7: "Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire." 

I John 2:16-17: "For all that is in the world — the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life — is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever." 

Truly heartwarming. Be sure to side hug a gay and share one of these inspiring verses today.

Further reading in a similar vein: "Homosexuality condemned in the Word of God", WWW 9/7/09. One of Walt's earliest posts.

Get woke, go broke! e.g. Canada Post Corp.

Canada Post Corporation is a Crown Corporation (aka state-owned enterprise) which runs the postal service of Canuckistan on behalf of the poor frostback taxpayer. Any profit it makes goes to the Liberal government of Marx Carnage, to reduce the alleged country's ballooning deficit. 

Unfortuntely, the CPC hasn't made a profit in living memory. The size of its loss for the last fiscal year is such that it now pleads poverty in answer to union demands for more money, over which they have been threatening to strike for months.

One of the lesser-known profit centres on which the CPC relies is the sale of postage stamps for collectors. Under the Liberals, the cost of a single stamp has risen to C$1.44 ($1.05 in real money)... plus sales tax! (Hint to USPS: you're missing a bet there.) The cost of the service -- delivering a letter, for instance -- is such that Canada Post loses money on every piece of lettermail. Or so they say.

However, when the postage stamp is kept by a philatelist (look it up) in his little album, the only cost to CPC is that of printing and distributing the tiny scrap of paper, so the profit is considerable. What a pity that no-one buys stamps any more. When was the last time, dear Canadian reader, that you actually received a piece of mail with a stamp on it?

But (Walt hears you ask) don't the collectors buy them, even if the general public doesn't? Quick answer: NO. Canada Post churns out over a dozen "special" (collectors say "commemorative" or "pictorial") stamps every year, but liberal ideology prevails at CPC to the point where very few people want the miniaturized political posters which their stamps have become. 

Here is Exhibit 1, the January-July 2025 Canadian Stamp Catalogue, through which you can order all wonderful new bits of  liberal propaganda shown on the cover.

The only stamps most Canadians ever see are the four little ones in the third row, which pay for things like oversize envelopes, and mail to the USA and overseas. They show landscapes, very typically Canadian since there are no people there.

So we come to the special stamps. The one in the top left corner is a liberal guilt stamp, reminding Canucks of how bad they were to intern innocent Japanese during World War II. Yes, it was wrong. Guilt has been admitted and reparations paid. That should be the end of the story, but noooo.

Below that is a stamp honouring Blue Rodeo, which I understand is an entertainment group of some sort, or maybe an act at the Calgary Stampede. Who knows.

The three stamps in a vertical column portray "Indigenous Leaders" -- two women, one man, no "two-spirited" indigines -- unknown to 99% of Canadians.

But hey, the Indians First Nations got three stamps, but the "black community" got only one, the big one showing Marie Joseph Angélique  a woman person of colour wearing a do-rag. No-one heard of her either, but she's a francophone, so that's OK then.

Under that are two stamps picturing peonies. Part of a long-running series and toally inoffensive.

In the upper right corner are special stamps which cost an extra dime per each. That's how you can contribute to the Canada Posts Community Foundation, which makes donations to worthy causes, such as buying picture books for libraries so they can be read to children during Drag Queen Story Hour. You understand the design now, eh.

Under that stamp comes a commemorative celebrating (for some reason) the life and legacy of Lyin' Brian Mulroney, the most reviled prime minister in Canadian history until Just In Trudeau came down the pike. The issuance of this stamp proves that Canada Post is not just another tentacle of the Liberal octopus, because Mr Baloney was, at least nominally, a Conservative... a Progressive Conservative.

Below and to the left of the late unlamented is the stamp issued for Eid, the Muslim holy day. What can one say except that at least Canada Post doesn't do kwanzaa.

Lastly we come to the pièce de résistance (or piece of resistance, if you will), a block of four designs publicizing "Places of Pride". Eh? What's up with that? Hint: these stamps were issued on May 30th. So? Enlarge the photo and take a good look. Get it now? They're promoting and celebrating Pride Month! Kinda makes you proud to be a Canadian, eh. Errr, maybe not.

So there you have it, dear Canadian friends. Run right out to your nearest post office -- if it's still open -- and plunk down your beaverbucks for whichever gay bits of paper tickle your fancy.

Make it stop! Make it stop!! Make it stop!!!

First it was Pride Weekend. Then it was Pride Week. Now it's Pride Month.

What's next...

God save us!

Happy Pride Month!

News of the Day, from Breitbart News, 3/6/25: Corporations Pull Back on Pride Month Sponsorships. The lede: Corporations and major brands have been pulling back on LGBTQ Pride Month sponsorships this year, with many jettisoning the themed merchandise altogether. 

Any comment would be superfluous. [And unnecessary. Ed.]

More on "the end of woke"

Further to "What does 'the end of woke' look like?", WWW 11/2/25, we have more good news to report. [Notice he didn't say "share". Ed.] The Executive Orders are coming so fast that it's hard to keep up.

First of all, President Trump has announced that it's OK for people to use plastic drinking straws again. "We’re going back to plastic straws," he told the meeja at the White House as he signed the order. "Paper straws don't work. They break," he said, adding, "I don’t think plastic is going to affect a shark very much, as they're munching their way through the ocean." More common sense, not to mention trees saved.

Even more important are indications that Google has given up trying to toe the politically correct line. Their online and mobile calendars no longer include references to the first day of Black History Month or Pride Month, among other events. The company previously had those days marked at the start of February and June, but they reportedly don’t appear for 2025. 

In "Google Calendar removed events like Pride and BHM because its holiday list wasn’t ‘sustainable’", a site called TheVerge first reported the removals on February 7th. In an e-mail to the outlet, a Google spokesthingy wrote, "Some years ago, the Calendar team started manually adding a broader set of cultural moments in a wide number of countries around the world.

"We got feedback that some other events and countries were missing, and maintaining hundreds of moments manually and consistently globally wasn’t scalable or sustainable. So in mid-2024 we returned to showing only public holidays and national observances from timeanddate.com globally, while allowing users to manually add other important moments."

The company, which has also removed the first day of Women’s History Month in March and Indigenous Peoples Month in June, has stepped back from its diversity, equity and inclusion goals after President Trump signed an executive order to dismantle federal DEI programs. The EO was titled "Ending Radical And Wasteful Government DEI Programs and Preferencing."

Has the President got the wokesters' attention yet? Looks like it, but there's lots more to come. Stay tuned...and give thanks!

Wokeism rules!

Welcome to Biden's America, and Trudeau's Canada, where it's now mandatory to fly the Nazi 2SLGBTQQIA+++ flag. If some other flag, like Old Glory or the Maple Leaf Flag, is to be flown on the same pole or building, the New Nazi flag must have the place of honour. So it is in the Land of the Queer and Home of the Perve.

 Flag design scraped from Blazing Cat Fur. Well done, Arnie.

New (and funny!) from the Babylon Bee

Pride Month is coming to an end. Walt hopes you have learned that LGBTQ2SI+++ people are not bad people. Did you know, for instance, that

This little factoid did not come from the Babylon Bee, your trusted source for Christian news satire. According to a usually reliable expert source, who spoke on background because xe is not authorized to speak to the right-wing media, this is a True Fact.

Walt is HYUGE fan of the Bee. So much so that it's all I can do to keep reposting their biting takes on politics, religion and the sorry state of the world. Today, though, I really must share three of their pieces, which I liked for their clarity, conciseness and wit. [When are you going to learn to write like that? Ed.] Click on the links and laugh with us.

"As Pride Month Ends, Americans Look Forward To 11 More Months Of Still Pandering To LGBTQ Community" Excerpt: "Yeah, I love the LGBTQIA+ community, and I look forward to celebrating it 24/7 for the rest of the year," said one man. "Also, I don't want to get canceled. Please don't cancel me."

"Jan. 6 Committee Says Cassidy Hutchinson Told Them That She Heard Mark Meadows Say That A Secret Service Agent’s Friend’s Cousin’s Husband Once Heard That One Of Trump’s Other Aides Said She Thinks She Heard Him Say He Wanted To 'Do An Insurrection'" Excerpt: "Yes, that's totally what I heard someone say Trump said to someone who told it to them," said Cassidy Hutchinson. "He literally said 'Let's do an insurrection.' And then he threw a plate at the bust of Martin Luther King." Hutchinson then started sobbing uncontrollably.

"No One Else At Vatican Able To Receive Communion After Pelosi Drinks All The Wine" Excerpt: "I'm a bold protector of women's rights! I deserve this!" she yelled out, according to sources. "I'm a practicing Catholic! Good morning! Sunday morning!"

That pretty much covers politics, religion, and the sorry state of the world, for today. Thanks, Bee.
