Starved of corporate sponsorships, ‘queer elders’ of Chinatown fill void at San Francisco Pride™
Now that the corporate cash has dried up due to the current political climate, the Pride™ people are now pretending they never even really needed or wanted Goldman Sachs or IKEA or whatever to foot the bill for their nationwide sodomy festivals.
Via HuffPost (emphasis added):
LGBTQ+++™ activists are positively obsessed with the archetype of something called a “queer elder,” roughly the equivalent in Abrahamic terms to Moses leading God’s chosen people out of the desert to salvation… or something.Corporations such as Target, Comcast, and Mastercard have pulled out of Pride celebrations around the country, citing “shifts in priorities.”…
If there’s a lesson to be learned from these pivots, it’s that corporate and state-sponsored Pride is fragile, simply because whoever is in power changes every few years.…
We must root the future of Pride celebrations in communities that have resistance ingrained in their DNA, and divest from our desire to be “celebrated” by corporate America. Sometimes, that means searching in places you wouldn’t necessarily expect. At the end of May, San Francisco’s Chinatown quietly threw its first ever Pride celebration, which asserted the neighborhood’s long standing history of resistance…
I spoke with Kiki Crunch, a drag queen and activist, about what makes the AAPI queer community in San Francisco special. “Asian folks really value close family ties even if we’re not blood,” she said. “We create our own family, we protect our own family, and we build our own home in the queer API community that we have.”
Another thing that surprised me was that there were a lot of elders in attendance. “I think a lot of misconceptions about Chinatown and what it can be is other people imposing their views on the community, because there’s a lot of queer elders here, a lot of stories here that haven’t been told,” said Jenny Leung, the executive director of the Chinese Culture Center of San Francisco.
They know their “culture” is entirely artificial, so they try to prop it up by inventing mythologies plagiarized from actual cultural traditions.
On the “queer elders” of the Orient, East Asians in the American diaspora and around the globe, if they feel anything at all about global transgenderism, recoil in nauseous aversion at the sight of an army of drag queens in the streets.
But, mostly, these displays of weird Marxist cultural revolution just trigger confusion and apathy; they don’t understand it because they have no historical context.

Brandon Johnson defends racist hiring practices after Trump administration announces investigation
In a previous DEI Deathwatch, we reported that Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson brazenly bragged on camera that he discriminates against whites and other non-blacks in city employment.

The Trump administration subsequently announced an investigation into Johnson’s alleged civil rights abuses as a result.
His response?
Speaking to Jen Psaki, he defended himself by claiming “the people of the city of Chicago elected me to speak to their interests,” which can only reasonably be interpreted to mean that his racist constituents in Chicago want the mayor to only hire blacks and therefore he should be allowed to run roughshod over federal law.
🚨Brandon Johnson responds to DOJ investigation over discriminatory hiring practices, says DOJ should be investigating themselves instead.

This is the defense messaging he’s settled on. His 6% approval rating is still too high.

Even if we accept the premise that Johnson is allowed to nearly exclusively hire blacks because that’s what his constituents demand and he’s just being a good public servant, his alleged mandate is questionable in light of his abysmal, nearly historically unprecedented 6% approval rating.
