MassResistance Exposes the Los Angeles "Pride" Parades

 

LA Pride Parade reveals rot in government, unions, politicians, and corporations

Showing how they are enemies of a normal, healthy society

Government should enforce obscenity laws and refuse special exemptions for the LGBT agenda

How MassResistance is fighting to turn this around

“Gay pride” month is finally over.

It’s disturbing and a bit frightening that so many “legitimate” entities still publicly participate in “gay pride” parades. MassResistance went to Los Angeles to see this firsthand. Numerous government agencies, politicians, unions, and American corporations took part in the event.

“Gay pride” month – and particularly its gross and offensive parades in cities across the country – is clearly losing acceptance (if it ever really had it) among average Americans. This year, numerous gay pride events have been cancelled for lack of financial support, though they still manage to thrive in big cities where there is more support available.

The Los Angeles Gay Pride event on June 14 was like those in Boston, New York, Chicago, and other big cities. It included a parade through the city and a “festival” with booths.

Here’s some of what we saw that day:

Public displays of people’s perversion and dysfunction

“Gay” has always been a front for a range of weird sexual behaviors and dysfunction. The propaganda machine in the media and elsewhere hides this very well. But at “gay pride” parades, the true nature of “LGBT” comes out from the shadows.

 What would a "gay pride" parade be without a contingent of BDSM (bondage, dominance, sadism, and masochism) marchers along with their BDSM flag?

 There were lots of "transgender" marchers, even men with beards dressed as women.

 This contingent included a giant penis. These seem to show up a lot at "gay pride" parades.

 An advertisement for naked gay massage on one of the floats.

 Promoting the "rights" of children to be given puberty blockers.

 This float advertised "LA's Best Transgender Events."

 Virtually every "gay pride" event has several booths like this to help attendees avoid sexually transmitted diseases.

Here’s who supported this

In a healthy society, one would expect these groups and individuals to be promoting wholesome community values and opposing unhealthy, destructive, and morally loathsome behaviors.

 The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power had a float with this banner. Who would have thought even they would be in this?

 The Police Department painted its cars for "gay pride."

 The Los Angeles Fire Department supported the parade.

 The Teamsters Union float.

 The Los Angeles Teachers Union float. Note the "trans rights - labor rights" and "protect LGBT workers" messages. These messages are obviously being taught in the Los Angeles public schools..

 The SEIU (Service Employees International Union) float.

 The L.A. Public Defenders have a "gay pride" parade float. This obvious bias should disqualify them in any normal setting. Imagine if an outspoken conservative needed a public defender in Los Angeles!

 Children's Hospital of Los Angeles.

 Though they're closing hundreds of their stores, Starbucks seems to always have extra money to support "gay pride."

 The Delta Air Lines booth.

 The CocaCola booth was more extravagant than most.

 The local ABC-TV affiliate doesn't bother to hide its bias.

 Mayor Karen Bass running for re-election. Note the "F*ck Trump" person accompanying her car.

 Hilda Solis is running for re-election to the L.A. County Board of Supervisors.

 David Vela is running for re-election to the L.A. County School Board (known as the"Board of Trustees").

 Two candidates for the State Assembly - different districts - advertising in the L.A. "gay pride" parade.

Final thoughts: How MassResistance is fighting back

The massive private foundation funding for the radical LGBT agenda gives it a huge advantage. Support by big corporations helps push it into the workplace and the public sphere. The mainstream media and entertainment industry collude, forcing it into everyone’s faces.

But the truth is that without the force of government, the LGBT presence would be a fraction of what it is. Vicious and oppressive non-discrimination laws covering homosexual and transgender behavior have forced acceptance into everybody’s lives. Following that have come laws mandating teaching LGBT “rights” and sexuality in the schools, inclusion in teachers’ certification, and state regulations for adoption and children’s services departments.

MassResistance has been working with state legislators and city councils across the country to repeal these venomous non-discrimination laws. And we are making progress. (We’ve already reported on our success getting gay flags effectively banned from government buildings, which is related to this.)

We’ve also been helping individuals do great things to fight back in their communities. One person can complain to the police about participating in “gay pride.” One person can make the local library stop its “pride” displays. One person can derail a “pride proclamation” in his town.

Action taken by individuals can make a big difference. And the trickle-down effect will mean fewer governments supporting any part of the LGBT agenda. Let’s all help make this happen!

   

Please help us continue to do our uncompromising work!

Our successes depend on people like you.

Four Things Our Founders Believed That Still Need Defenders Today

 

While most Floridians are firing up the grill this weekend, our team is already deep in preparation for this fall's elections. We’re marking 250 years of freedom because a group of men signed their names to a document that changed the world. Self-government is one of the rarest privileges in human history. Our founders and a whole lot of men and women since have bled for it. The least we can do is vote... boldly and faithfully, and equipping believers to vote according to their faith and convictions is a large part of our work.  We thought you might enjoy knowing what we have been doing at Florida Family Voice in preparation for the primary and general elections this fall:

We have sent non-partisan biblical worldview questionnaires to 189 U.S. House candidates and 290 state legislative candidates running for office and have already received a record number of responses.  We are vetting 37 judicial races involving 96 candidates because the courts matter just as much as the legislature.   We are conducting in-depth interviews in dozens of target state and federal races so that when a Florida believer walks into the booth this fall, they are holding an FFV voter guide built on a biblical worldview rather than a party label.

All of this is being done so that we can create Florida’s only statewide, non-partisan, faith-based voter guide that shows where candidates stand on the biblical worldview issues that we defend. If you would like to be among the first to receive a digital copy of our voter guide for the upcoming primary election, click here.

Our founders saw America as a beacon of freedom, one nation under God. Certain truths are self-evident, they said. Rights endowed by God himself. The walls of life, marriage, family, and religious liberty weren't accompaniments to that vision. They were the foundation of it. Those truths still need defenders today.

As we celebrate 250 years together, we pray we can defend and rebuild the walls of virtue so that, Lord willing, this land would flourish for another 250. That is the work. And it only happens because people like you decide it is worth doing and stand with us.

Happy Independence Day. May we be worthy of what was entrusted to us.

Serving together,

Erik Dellenback President & CEO Florida Family Voice

Whatcott Exposes the Failures of Conservative Canadian Media

Dear Brian, Arthur, and Amy,

I think this video will be quite helpful for you to better understand Canada's conservative media and Canadian conservative activist groups and their incongruence when it comes to LGBT issues. Note how the hosts are unambiguous in supporting homosexual rights in general, but are disgusted with the more grotesque displays at Toronto's Sodom Parade. Unfortunately, when you confront these spokespeople with the reality that the grotesque is really inseparable from the acceptance of homosexuality itself, these folks will  tend to cancel you.

              

God Bless,

Bill

Future Armed Forces Day Parade Suggestions, by Scott Carter, President of TLPVRA

 

Armed Forces Day Parade Suggestions:

1) Make ingress and exit easier for visitors:

    a) Publish a handheld & media "Helpful Map of Parking Areas" and "Viewing Areas," both for VIP viewing and open public side of the road places to set up chairs and mats.

2) Allow route access after the 5k Run at 10:30am to 12:30pm for drop-off and setup on Torrance Blvd. Annouce defined entrance and exits (intersections) for families/groups

3) Explore additional participants from all South Bay/PV Schools (Bands, Cheer Teams) to participate in more attractions to increase attendance.

4) Allow Areospace Corporations to provide or sponsor floats and military/space hardware

5) Encourage LA-OC military bases to participate and be honored in the parade

6) Award attractive framed participation certificates to each group. They can put up the certificate in a public area, and people will see it and compliment them all year. The participants will come back every year.

7) Have more announcers at various locations of the parade

RNC: The Supreme Court Just Gave the GOP a New Midterm Edge

 

Contact: rncpress@gop.com ICYMI: The Supreme Court Just Gave the GOP a New Midterm Edge In case you missed it, the Republican National Committee (RNC) and President Trump are fully prepared to use Republicans’ war chest ahead of the midterms after the Supreme Court ruled in favor of no limitations on how much political parties can spend on their candidates’ campaigns. You can read the full story here or see highlights below. The Supreme Court Just Gave the G.O.P. a New Midterm Edge New York Times June 30, 2026   For years, Republican candidates had faced a persistent disadvantage. Their Democratic counterparts had raised far more money, primarily from small-dollar donors online. And candidates qualify for cheaper advertising rates than political parties do. Republicans wanted to close that gap by letting parties — which can be funded by six-figure checks from wealthy donors — spend as much as they wanted in coordination with candidates.   […]   The ruling in National Republican Senatorial Committee v. Federal Election Commission is widely expected to usher in the biggest shift in how campaigns are funded since the aftermath of the Citizens United decision in 2010, which lifted limits on corporate expenditures and laid the groundwork for the current era of big-spending super PACs.   […]   In the short term, the case is likely to benefit Republicans. The Republican National Committee entered June with $125.5 million in the bank, while the Democratic National Committee carried more debts than cash on hand.   “The R.N.C. is playing with nuclear weapons and the D.N.C. has one of those Wile E. Coyote guns with a flag that says ‘Bang!’” said Sean Cooksey, a former commissioner on the Federal Election Commission and a former general counsel to the vice president, in a social media post.   […]   Inside the R.N.C., Mr. Ambrosini said, the planning for the ruling began early last year. His internal mandate was to conserve as much cash as possible, so the party could be ready to spend heavily on ads in tandem with congressional candidates if a favorable ruling landed and granted the parties those lower TV rates.   […]   “It’s one of the main reasons that anyone that is a Republican should not write our obituary in June,” Mr. Ambrosini said.

Regarding the Ted Tanouye Memorial Proposals

There has been a great deal of discussion in the city of Torrance about renaming Columbia Park after Torrance's hometown hero, Ted Tanouye.

Initially, I was all for it. He showed great bravery and honor for our country, even though the federal government had interned his family along with 120,000 Japanese-Americans during World War II.

That selfless service deserves great honor.

The city has released a survey for residents to share their thoughts and vote for possible preferences to honor Tanouye. (Click here)

Some arguments and opposition have emerged in the city regarding whether the proper protocols have been followed to name--or rename--public spaces in Torrance.

This discussion matters because the city council attempted to move the Armed Forces Day parade to the Torrance Airport, near Skypark Drive, and they attempted this move without first getting input from the city.

Transparency matters, and it must be consistently applied and respected, even for commemoration efforts.

Besides that, what is the history behind the naming of Columbia Park? Should that be removed so quickly? We need to take all these questions into consideration.

I reached out to another resident to get more feedback about the Columbia-Tanouye proposal.

I submitted the following question to her:

Would you mind explaining to me why the Ted Tanouye Foundation opposes renaming Columbia Park after the veteran?

I would like to understand. Thanks!

Here are the extended remarks that she shared with me:

There is already a wonderful and beautiful memorial to Ted at 2200 Carson Street, directly across the street from Ted's Alma Mater, Torrance High School, dedicated in 2004. 

The site was the favorite of Ted's only surviving brother. That area was once a part of Torrance High School when Ted attended. Students at the time Ted attended assembled there every school morning to say the Pledge of Allegiance and sing the National Anthem. Ted, as Captain of the Varsity Football team and also as President of the Japanese Club, would lead those two traditions. 

Columbia Park had no meaning to Ted's life when he was alive. That area was first farmed by the first native California tribe, and before WWII it was farmed by a Japanese American family that is not related to the Tanouye family.

It should to be renamed after one of those two groups. The person who proposed it was looking for glory to save his council seat. He is originally from Gardena and graduated from Gardena High. One of our board members was informed of his interest and why. We investigated the plan and knew it was not needed, as we had already honored Ted in the area of Torrance where he lived and attended school. until his enlistment in the Army.

Again, his only living brother worked with us and the Torrance High School Alumni Association to honor our fellow TARTAR. Also, there is another place named after Ted. The California National Guard Army on Cabrillo and Lincoln is the only CSNG [California State National Guard] building to be named after a Congressional Medal of Honor recipient and hometown hero.

Again, neither Ted nor his family had anything to do with North Torrance or that area. Ted has been honored properly at the memorial at Torrance Blvd and Maple in front of City Hall. His name is above all others, and in gold we made sure of that. Hope that answers your question. We will protect Ted and his name from all political ploys.

This argument makes a lot of sense to me.

I wasn't aware until I received this message that the National Guard Armory in Torrance was named after him, as well! I could see how further efforts to name other locations after Tanouye would politicize or diminish his namesake. A person's name and legacy should not be turned into a commercialized effort, nor a narrow political end.

Councilman Jon Kaji shared these remarks with me when I asked more questions about the Columbia proposal:

Arthur:

Since first introducing the recommendation to rename Columbia Park after Congressional Medal of Honor recipient, Ted T. Tanouye, the proposal was submitted with the full support of the Tanouye family.

The family’s position remains unchanged, in spite of opponents who have proposed an “expanded” park on the opposite side of Carson Street.

For your information, I asked City staff for an estimate for each option.

A new sign at Columbia Park would cost from $10-$15,000.

An expanded park would run from $850k - $1.5 million.

Additionally, CM Gerson failed to disclose that the City hired a consultant and staff time totaling more than $15,000 in preparation of his Torrance High School proposal.

The survey that appears on the City website is open to anyone who chooses to respond, whether Torrance residents or outside individuals.

The cost is considerable, and I don't think a consultant should have been hired to look into this matter so extensively, either. 

On another note, the person who informed me about Ted's brother told me that Kaji was proposing the Columbia Park renaming effort out of political gain. Based on his inappropriate remarks about his opponent David Kartsonis earlier this month, I have sadly seen this pattern of exploitation of the Internment of Japanese-Americans. It's very unforunate that Kaji would do this.

Also, based on what I have received from one of the contacts I spoke with, I finally submitted my decision, and I am asking the Torrance City Council to do nothing (Implement Option Three) at this time regarding any proposed changes to city locations or memorials in the city.

I would invite everyone in the city to also consider Option Three, and reject the Columbia proposal as well as an updated memorial in front of Torrance High School.

Has Red State Become Biased (Fake) News (Featuring Jennifer Van Laar)?

During the CA Governor's primary earlier this year, I was intrigued by the number of influencers (in California and across the country) who were pushing for Steve Hilton.

They were repeatedly posting all the hollow propaganda about Sheriff Chad Bianco "kneeling to BLM," when the truth is that he prayed with them.

They also dismissed Bianco's resistance to Governor Newsom's outrageous, unconstitutional lockdown orders and health mandates.

The incessant attacks gave the impression that they were led or even paid to make these attacks.

I don't have anything specific to back up the assertion that they were paid to support Hilton, but it sure looked as if something was going on, because they engaged in such a concerted effort to prop up Hilton, even though he had a clearly more liberal record than Bianco.

At one point, Red State contributor Jennifer Van Laar not only criticized Bianco, but also criticized another commentator on X, Insurrection Barbie, because she had attended the CAGOP Convention earlier this year. 

She was supporting Bianco, and then Van Laar contended that it was strange for her to get involved because ... she doesn't live in California. Yes, Insurrection Barbie is based in Texas, but since when did that mean someone doesn't have a right to have a say on elections in other states?

Texas Governor Greg Abbott's leadership was essential to stop the flow of illegals into our country during President Biden's regime. Governor Ron DeSantis set an incredible standard for combatting big government tyranny while accomplishing the MAGA agenda, as well.

I jumped into this discussion, calling out her selective outrage. Why is it wrong for an influencer from Texas to support Bianco, but it's OK for other out-of-state influencers to support Hilton?

She did not handle that very well. Then, Congressional candidate Mike Cargile informed me that Van Laar does not live in California, either. I followed up on that.

And her response?

She blocked me. She claims to be a journalist, yet she blocks people who disagree with her and call out selective enforcement of criteria?

What is this?!

Then she attacked me on another post, claiming that I said that she could not write or comment on California politics. Of course, I had never said that.

I tried to bridge the gaps and extend an olive branch by email.

Below is the response she gave to me.

Read how Jennifer decided to play victim and dodge the issue:

The appropriate place for this type of communication is my personal email address, which I thought you had years ago.

That is an irrelevant criticism, which people often throw up when they know they have been properly confronted about something.,

I haven't had a chance yet to fully reply, but the fact that you can't see a massive difference between my connection to the state I was born in and am only living 25 miles from the border at this moment because of credible threats to my personal safety and Insurrection Barbie's relationship to the state (which is what, again?) tells me there's not a whole lot to talk about. We'd have to start with all of your flawed premises. 

It's irrelevant why she does not or does not live in California. The fact is that she was critical of someone who did not live in the state, commenting on the governor's race. She should have considered how hypocritical that stance would be.

Also, your continued posts even after you told me it was a "good discussion" served to just bring a bunch of trolls to my weekend - trolls who were digging up untrue hit pieces on me related to the Katie Hill expose (YOU'RE WELCOME).

She's blaming me for bringing trolls? I can't bring anyone to a social media discussion. That is the choice of every participant, whether they wish to get involved in a discussion or not. Notice again how she deflected and played victim.

It wasn't just a difference of opinion. It was you sending out the bat signal to all your buddies to attack me, and your continued attacks. That's not a good-faith, respectful discussion. 

She misconstrues motives. What buddies? I simply confronted her on her hypocrisy, and she didn't like that she got busted.

I don't know of other influencers outside California who are advocating for Hilton. Admittedly, I'm at the mercy of what the algorithm shows me, and I haven't done a deep dive because I have several consequential investigative pieces on Democrat fraud I'm working on. I only asked a question of IB because her interest in the race was so out of left field.

How could she NOT know of other influencers? Laura Loomer doesn't ring a bell? She was evidently all over X attacking Bianco while promoting Hilton. How could she not see that? And what difference does it make if Insurrection Barbie was interested in the race? How is that interest out of left field, exactly?

Oh, and by the way - Kira Davis hasn't written for RedState since 2023 so you might want to take that out of your attack repertoire.

Notice the false language of playing victim yet again, "attack repertoire." Seriously?

I don't recall "attacking" Kira Davis over anything, although I heartily disagreed with her replete support for Hilton over Bianco. That's called "politics," not attacking.

So, this is what Red State has descended into? Journalists who can't take criticism, who clearly tip their hand for one candidate, and then shut down discussion when members of the public confront them about this?

What a disappointment!

Why Has Culture Stagnated in the 21st Century?

 Cultural stagnation in the 21st century is widely attributed to a combination of risk-averse corporate consolidation, algorithmic homogenization, and a nostalgic reliance on recycling 20th-century media. Instead of radical innovation, society is producing endless brand extensions and highly optimized, yet predictable, creative works. [1, 2, 3, 4]

The key drivers behind this cultural plateau include:

• Risk-Averse Corporate Consolidation: Entertainment and cultural businesses heavily rely on sequels, reboots, and prequels to reduce financial risk. Major studios and streaming platforms prefer proven Intellectual Property (IP) rather than funding original ideas, leading to iterative content rather than revolutionary art. [1, 2, 3]
• Algorithmic Homogenization: Digital platforms use recommendation algorithms that cater to established user preferences, which disincentivizes bold, rule-breaking creativity. This creates an "overfitted" culture where the system rewards works that closely resemble past successes. [1, 2]
• The Omnivorism of the Internet: Globalization and easy internet access have flattened subcultures. When all historical eras and genres (e.g., country, hip-hop, classic rock) are instantly available to sample and remix, distinct new artistic eras struggle to take root. [1, 2, 3, 4]
• Nostalgia and Retro Culture: Rather than forging a distinct aesthetic for the current era, modern culture often leans heavily on the nostalgia of the late 20th century (e.g., the obsession with the 1980s and 1990s). The contemporary era acts as a curator of the past rather than a creator of the new. [1, 2]
• Prioritization of Commerce over Avant-Garde: There is much less cultural resistance to commercialization today than in previous decades. The 20th-century artistic ethos, which valued radical disruption and artistic integrity over mainstream appeal, has largely been replaced by a focus on mass-market entertainment. [1, 2]
