For far too long, Democrats have been suppressing free speech. They’ve tried to cancel right-wing pundits under the guise of “hate speech” or “shouting fire in a crowded theater” simply for voicing perfectly reasonable opinions like “Jews control the weather” or “the COVID vaccine makes your penis fall off.”

Dear Queer Organization,
This isn’t an easy letter to write, but after so many years together, we owe you honesty and transparency, so we will say this as plainly as we can: We, a multinational corporation, will no longer be funding your pride parade or any of its associated homosexual activities.
