Military Pride
May 26, 2022
Not that kind of pride, but military Pride Month celebrations, including a “Drag Queen Story Time” for children at a U.S. air base in Germany. When will the military become too woke and too immoral for conservative Christians? Will it ever?
Update: the Air Force has nixed the event, “sparking protests that the decision demonstrates a lack of support by the military for transgender people.” No doubt the event was cancelled only because of the backlash it received.
