Every June, Pride Month sparks controversy. But the truth about gay pride doesn’t fit into either side’s narrative.

On the Left, Pride Month is no longer viewed as merely a celebration of individuality and freedom. It has become infected with woke nonsense and an openly partisan progressive agenda. Meanwhile, on the Right, Pride Month is viewed as an entirely excessive expression of identity politics. Many conservatives believe that sexuality is nothing to be proud of and feel that people should keep their private lives to themselves — not take to the streets clad in rainbow colors.
