X/@charliekirk11 An even more vehement attack on pride celebrations, with Kirk calling it “morally repugnant” and alleging that its proponents were trying to force “their very disgusting sex fetishes on society.” As is usually the case in this instance, the Drake of Controversy, with the dawn of June just about to set in, watched the tweet get thousands of retorts, with some fiercely agreeing, while others slammed it into oblivion. “Celebrating Pride or anything else that people choose to do is what makes this country great,” one user gave in counterargument while another dismissed Kirk’s concerns as focusing on “sh!t most of us are never ever going to see in our daily lives.” What spirals from the hundreds of answers is a snapshot of the present battle in America over LGBTQ+ visibility, where every accusation of hypocrisy is met with another claiming moral decay, and debate about the very meaning of public decency is itself a heated matter.
