It is a shame to watch American business and sports organizations try to do more for the LGTBQ+ communities than they are. You would see more of this kind of wakeful virtue-signaling if you had watched soccer in the English Premier League last weekend.
The Premier League used Saturday’s matchday to promote its “Rainbow Laces” campaign, a yearly occurrence where premier league players wear rainbow-colored shoelaces (amongst other pride-themed insignia) to show their support for the LGTBQ+ community.

“We will ensure everyone within the organisation and all those connected to clubs, including supporters, feel safe and welcome, irrespective of sexual orientation or gender identity,” the Premier League said in a statement.
Jurgen Klopp, the Liverpool FC skipper, also took the time to sit down with LFC women’s player Meikayla Moore on the way it is “important” for the Reds to perform this woke gesture every stinking year:
These charades are designed to help gay people feel confident about their sexuality and to encourage them to be open to showing the world who they really are. This framework explains that gay people suffer from a stigma, real or perceived. They need to be compensated and made whole.
But here’s the thing: when the most iconic and dominant professional soccer league on the planet has a campaign for you every fall, it is safe to say you have been relatively included in society and that you are no longer oppressed. The gay community can be grateful for the undeserved attention they get since no other day, month or event is dedicated to promoting a particular trait.
Society needs to stop giving so much attention to the gay community, especially since the mindset of that community is toxic: accept us, worship us, and promote us or you’re bigots and we’ll come after your business, your churches, and your children.
It’s time to move on from LGTBQ+ pride.
