When Pride Backfires
Every June, we see more and more major companies come out in support of "Pride Month". While some of these companies are actually in support of things such as Abortion, Sodomy, Drag Queen Story Hour and such, some may just be looking for a way to capitalize on the moment. Take for instance Papa John's, who received major backlash last year from then chairman John Schnatter using the "N" word during a conference call. People from all across the country boycotted the company, and they are still trying to make up for lost revenue. Papa John's is just one of the many companies to come out in support of "Gay Pride Month" along with countless others. Another pizza giant coming out in support of "Pride Month" is Pizza Hut. Pizza Hut has been losing money and on a financial roller coaster for years. They have downsized most of their restaurants to delivery only, have taken away the pizza buffet and have been losing money in the long term. On top of that, we now have GrubHub , DoorDash and Uber Eats, which will bring you better pizza from actual Italian restaurants and pizza pub's across the nation. Pizza hut is struggling to stay afloat in a sea of better delivery options, and sinking more and more each year.
But what actually happens when these companies bow to the Left, support "Pride Month" and celebrate sin? Well, they make a few extra bucks for a week or two from Leftists who are proud of what they did, BUT, when Christians and Conservatives boycott them, they actually lose long term revenue. These tactics are just a flash in the pan, a fly by night quick money making scheme. And unlike Disney, which is being boycotted by Christians and does other things than have one business to make up for the losses, these pizza companies and other single focus businesses cannot just go film "Black Panther 2" and make millions of dollars. They will just have to take the long term losses and make what money they can for the time being.
Besides companies, we are seeing this happen in politics too. Last month, President Donald Trump tweeted his alleged "Pro Life" tweet, where he said that he is "Pro "Life" with 3 exceptions. "Rape, Incest & Life of The Mother". As we all know, nobody has ever died from not having an abortion, rape and incest are not reasons to kill a child, the father should be punished, not the baby. This tweet from President Trump received major backlash from Christians, Catholics and even Pro Life Atheists. On top of all of this, he recently tweeted out his support of "Pride Month" on Twitter where he said , " As we celebrate LGBT Pride Month and recognize the outstanding contributions LGBT people have made to our great Nation, let us also stand in solidarity with the many LGBT people who live in dozens of countries worldwide that punish, imprison, or even execute individuals... " (on basis of sexual orientation)
There you see it. President Trump may have just lost the 2020 election in just 2 tweets. Trust me when I tell you, I have over 50,000 followers on facebook, and most of them are Christians and Catholics, who not only voted for Trump in 2016, but also helped promote his campaign and convinced their friends and families to vote for him. I'm sure that many of these people will end up picking the lesser of two evils and voting for Trump anyways, but there are many who are not even going to show up to the polls in this next election.
As you can clearly see, these moves made by major companies, mom and pop shops, and politicians, may bring a cheer or two from the LGBTQC3POR2D2 community for now, but what will the long term effect be? Whether you love or hate Trump, you must admit that this chess move was purely idiotic. And these trashy pizza companies and others alike may make a quick buck for now, but with countless Christians, Conservatives and Libertarians boycotting them, the long term revenue is bound to plummet. Therefore bowing to the Left can and many times will, backfire.
Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
