America Leaving "Pride Month" Behind?

For four years June has been changed into a veritable festival of strange celebrations. Strange at least to those from a more traditionally American culture.

This year things feel different. Much of it seems to have retreated to odd corners of the country.

I have to admit I was never much of a fan of Reagan, his policies, and the tone of the Reagan Years. Looking back, it feels quite regressive and mean, saber rattling and corrupt, and not at all beneficial toward working and lower middle class folks. Basically setting the stage for both the Clintons and the "Romneycrat" Republican establishment. I'll credit his time with ending the Cold War, but I was very disappointed that the "peace dividend" never turned into benefits for the bulk of taxpayers.

So I think these young women in this video have a distorted picture of those times, and it pains me to see them give undo credit to them. But the discussion here seems very refreshing otherwise, like a return to normality.

Ladies reading this:

Watching the video, at least the 5 minutes or so at the start... what is your take on this group and its interaction there? Does it feel more like normal female interaction from your young adult years? Or is this just how I imagined women used to feel about motherhood and child rearing? It feels so positive to me.

And what about the content here? Do you feel some hope that fringe behaviors have started to move back to the fringes of society rather than constantly being in your face?

 
Reagan provided the "Peace Dividend", but it was H.W. Bush and Clinton who squandered it. We have too many "months". I think we should allow celebration of differences but not dedicate an entire month to it. It was decided that we couldn't add MLK Day to the calendar as it would cast too much to give all Federal employees another holiday. As a result, they combined Washington's and Lincoln's Birthday holidays into President's Day to allow an MLK Day without adding another holiday. Biden waved his hand and created Juneteenth as a Federal holiday in the middle of Pride month with no regard for the cost. There is already a Black History Month, but now t here is a Federal Black holiday in the middle of Pride Month. I must admit, I had never heard of Juneteenth until I moved to Alaska, and I have lived al over the country. I don't think most Americans even know what Juneteenth celebrates.
 
Juneteenth is an annual observance on June 19 to remember when Union soldiers enforced the Emancipation Proclamation and freed all remaining slaves in Texas on June 19, 1865. This day is an opportunity for people to celebrate freedom and equal rights in the United States.;)sorry I kinda cheated...I knew but lost the words to explain...
 
Trump just abolished June Pride month - 'What goes on from here do not know. Seems every month now is to celebrate something
As far as i know, President Trump did not abolish pride month, he is just not promoting it like Biden did, @Hedi M . President Trump is all for supporting our military veterans, as well as our active military; so he has been focusing on that kind of celebrations ever since he took office.
He did say that the trans-dressers have to leave the military, which has already happened, and we no longer have male military officers wandering around in dresses and makeup, or crawling along with dog muzzles on their face, and i am glad of that.

This month is the 250th anniversary of the American Army, so on June 14th , which is the anniversary date as well as Flag Day, there will be a huge military parade in Washington DC in support of our Army. This fall is the 250th anniversary for either the Navy or the Marines (I forget which); so we will probably be celebrating that as well.
Once again (like he did last time), President Trump is giving all of his presidential salary to Veterans groups, to help veterans.
 
Even if Trump did abolish pride month, those who are proud will always be proud. Nobody can change that with a Sharpie.

The Trump administration has chosen not to recognize Pride Month in June 2025, instead declaring it "Title IX Month" to focus on women's rights and education. Th
