A Nuanced Conversation About Pride Month From a Conservative-Libertarian Point of View

Happy Corporate Virtue Signaling Month

The month of June represents many things. For kids, it’s the official start of summer vacation. For dads, Father’s Day, and for suburban neighborhoods, backyard barbecues. Additionally, it is “Pride” month for the LGBT community and its ever-growing list of letters and acronyms. If an extraterrestrial being were to visit the USA in June, they could easily think that the month is exclusively dedicated to pride based on the overwhelming amount of corporate virtue signaling from big multinational corporations and their shareholders, rivaling even the commercialization of Christmas in December.

This month I decided to use one of the two audiobook credits I receive monthly to get the audiobook version of The Holcroft Covenant  by Robert Ludlum.

Noel finds out that his father left him a $7 billion fund which is to be distributed amongst the survivors of The Holocaust .
