Every June, organizations of all sorts compete to see which one appears to care about the LGBT community the most.
And though they’re targeting all that attention on such a small segment of the population, there’s mounting evidence that even the intended audience is getting tired of the transparent pandering.
One clear example came in the form of a recent riff from Tim Dillon, an openly gay comedian who recently expressed his disapproval of pro sports leagues promoting LGBT causes.
Breitbart reported on Dillon’s conversation with podcaster Joe Rogan:
“Why do the Padres have to wear gay uniforms for Pride Month? That doesn’t make any sense.” Dillon said before Rogan asked what might happen if they have to wear their gay uniforms in Muslim-dominated Dearborn, Michigan.
“It’s not going to go well,” Dillon laughed in reply.
He then added, “As a gay person, I’ve never said that I need the Padres to be gay too.”
Rogan tried to explain why so many support Gary Pride Month, saying, “People have been taught that thinking for themselves might make them racist, sexist, or homophobic, so they’re afraid to question anything.”
Dillon wasn’t convinced.
“Why is Chase Bank gay? Why’s Chobani Yogurt trans? Does this give people healthcare? Does this make you happy? What’s the point of all this?” the comedian said.
Rogan noted that having Gay Pride Month “makes people happy,” but Dillon disagreed.
“It actually makes more people angry. That’s why gay marriage has lost 11 points in support. It’s annoying. Why is my bank gay?” Dillon said as Rogan broke out in gales of laughter.
There’s was plenty more mockery and derision waiting in the comments on social media:
I think he hit something here. Most people don’t care if another person is gay. There is a visceral reaction to being forced into performative support for an alternative lifestyle. We lose that subtlety in public discourse.

I've been talking about this for years. The left has claimed and corrupted social issues, like they are the champions and heros of the causes. Then, when people call out the BS of it all, they scream racism, bigotry, homophobia, etc.

I argued with some idiot about how 2 of the Dodgers not wearing pride hats is homophobic
They want beliefs forced upon people… as long as it’s their beliefs

Here’s more, per the Washington Times:
Mr. Dillon, who appeared on the Wednesday episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” further argued that corporate Pride participation reflects a broader conformism among younger professionals rather than genuine advocacy.
“They’ve been programmed their entire lives to believe a certain set of things, and their self-worth depends on those things mattering: the school you went to, the internship you got, the corporation whose dick you’ve got to suck,” he said. “Their entire worldview crumbles if you challenge any of those ideas.”
The remarks drew wide attention online amid ongoing public debate over corporate involvement in Pride month, which has become an annual flashpoint since several major brands scaled back their LGBT-branded marketing following consumer backlash in recent years.
