Critics Blame Latest Kansas City PrideFest FAIL On Prez Trump

C'mon man . . . This one is a bit of a stretch . . . And not even a fun one . . . OUCH!!!

PrideFest was failing back in the Biden years when sponsorship, gossip, backbiting (ouch) and an overall lack of cooperation amongst the LGBT community set back the festival.  

Remember that last year was the beginning of the KC PrideFest sponsorship implosion. 

Now . . . Here's the newspaper helping to "direct" the blame against MAGA . . . Which is kind of interesting since so many Trump supporters have been noted to "engage" in LGBT festivities on the down low according to critics watching Grindr.  

Nevertheless . . . Here's the cover story . . .  

In a Facebook video, with no public meeting and no community comment period, the future of a 50-year institution was decided. KC PrideFest will be absorbed into LGBTQ-focused nonprofit Our Spot KC as a fundraiser. That’s how we in the Kansas City LGBTQ community found out.

This didn’t happen in a vacuum. The Trump administration has defined sex as strictly binary by executive order. It has rolled back transgender protections across education, the military and federal employment, and directed agencies to dismantle diversity, equity and inclusion programs. Missouri enacted a sweeping ban on gender-affirming care for minors, and Kansas is pushing for the same. Some cities suspended nondiscrimination ordinances entirely after the administration threatened to withhold federal funding.
