The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh had a brutal takedown on Tuesday of all the LGBTQ-related calendar events that take place throughout the year in addition to Pride Month in June.
“The Matt Walsh Show” podcast host opened the segment mocking the fact that we were days “from the sacred high holiday of Pride month” and made clear it’s not even close to the only time on the calendar LGBTQ is celebrated. He then provided an extensive list of the “specific days set aside to celebrate LGBT people at least every other week” in the year.
“There are other days and other months that matter, such as Bisexual Health Awareness Month and International Transgender Day of Visibility and National LGBT Health Awareness Week and National Transgender HIV Testing Day,” Walsh said.
As you prepare for Pride Month, we must also remember to celebrate:
Bisexual Health Awareness Month
International Transgender Day of Visibility
National LGBT Health Awareness Week
National Transgender HIV Testing Day
Non-Binary Parents Day
Lesbian Visibility Day

“And I mean, obviously non-binary Parents Day, Lesbian Visibility Day, International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia,” he added. “I mean, of course, Harvey Milk Day, Pansexual and Pan Romantic Awareness and Visibility Day. Non-binary Awareness Week, International Drag Day, LGBTQ History Month. Not to be confused with Pride Month, International Lesbian Day.”
“National Coming Out Day,” Walsh continued. “National Latinx HIV Awareness Day. National LGBT Center Awareness Day. Asexual Awareness Weeks is obviously important. International Pronouns Day, Transgender Parent Day, Pansexual, Pride Day, and of course, Gay Uncles Day. Those days are all separate from Pride Month, and they’re all really important.”
The Daily Wire host said “every two weeks ” there’s a special day designated to honor this group, “giving them a standing ovation and telling them how special they are.”
“If they have to endure even just three weeks of not being especially celebrated, they will die,” Walsh said with sarcasm. “They will die. It will be a massacre. It will be a genocide.”
“Can you imagine? Can you imagine going a month? What if we had to go a month?” he added. “What if LGBT people had to go an entire month without having one single day where everybody spent all day telling them how great they are? It’s unimaginable. It would be a Holocaust is what it would be. And that’s why Pride Month is so important.”
