The Anarchic Philosophy Behind “LGBTQI+ Pride Month”

Ben Shapiro

June marks LGBTQI+ Pride Month – a month honoring those who are “lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex.” This ever-expanding rubric revolves around a particular value system entirely embraced by the modern Left: the notion that a person’s core identity ought to lie not in the relationship between individual desires and societal duties, but instead ought to revolve around a subjective sense of self, unverifiable by the world at large, and justified against all societal roles and rules.

Joe Biden has said as much from the White House. In a proclamation urging Americans to “wave their flags of pride high” – it is worth noting that an entire side of the political aisle in the United States now finds the so-called pride flag far less controversial than the American flag itself – Biden stated, “This month, we remind the LGBTQI+ community that they are loved and cherished.  My Administration sees you for who you are — deserving of dignity, respect, and support.”
