Celebrating LGBTQ Progress Amidst Continued Struggles This Pride Month
Sacramento's recent Pride parade highlighted the achievements and ongoing challenges of the LGBTQ community, drawing both celebrations and protests. Recognizing and supporting diverse voices is essential for our nation's progress.
A Vibrant Celebration
The parade, part of a weekend-long Pride Month celebration, saw thousands march from Southside Park to 10th Street near the Capitol. The event was a colorful display of unity and diversity, featuring rainbow flags, political figures, motorcyclists, corgis, Bank of America, and the Sacramento Gay Men’s Chorus.
Diverse Opinions
For many, the parade was a powerful statement against groups pushing anti-LGBTQ policies, such as forced outing of transgender students in schools. Priya Kumar, a spokeswoman for Sacramento Pride Weekend, emphasized the importance of visibility:
"I think it’s really important for this type of demonstration to be here and be seen, and to show how much it’s grown," Kumar said. "Pride started as a riot. It started as a demonstration against the oppressive forces."
While some participants welcomed corporate involvement as a sign of support, others, like activist Jessica Lawless, criticized what they view as "corporate Pride pinkwashing." Lawless argued:
"We must move beyond the politics of visibility. Because visibility to what end?"
Personal Stories
Bruce and Deb Lumbert from Reno brought signs that said, “God blessed us with a gay son. Now let our son bless us with a son-in-law.” and “We are getting a son-in-law.” celebrating their gay son and his upcoming marriage, reflecting their long-standing support for LGBTQ rights. Bruce noted that "Star Trek" star George Takei had autographed their sign during protests against California's Proposition 8, a 2008 ballot measure banning same-sex marriage. Deb Lumbert expressed cautious optimism:
"The situation for LGBTQ people has gotten better, but I don’t want to see it get worse. That’s what we’re afraid of."
Their son, Nick Kimutis, who lives in Sacramento and is preparing to marry his fiancé Brian Young, shared his gratitude for living in a state that supports LGBTQ rights, while acknowledging the challenges faced elsewhere.
Political Context
While Pride Month celebrates diversity and progress, it also highlights the complexities of the political landscape. Despite the perception that the LGBTQ community leans towards leftist politics, there is significant diversity within the community, including Republican, Libertarian, and moderate voices.
Editors Note: As a Constitutionalist for Liberty, founder of Gays For Trump, and advocate for right-leaning LGBTQ Americans, it is crucial to have a seat at the table in the Republican Party. We must address internalized homophobia within the party and resist efforts from the left that do not prioritize the LGBTQ community's best interests.
In Pride Month, celebrating contributors from the LGBTQ community can inspire us to embrace diversity and eliminate bigotry. By fostering inclusivity and rejecting hatred, we can create a society as bright and diverse as the rainbow itself.

In the heart of North Carolina, and indeed, across the entire United States, there exists a beacon of hope—an enduring flame fueled by the principles that have guided our nation since its inception. Our Constitution, a sacred document that embodies the ideals of Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness, stands as a testament to the resilience and vision of our forefathers.
As citizens of this great nation, we find solace and inspiration in the words and wisdom etched into the parchment of our founding document. It is a contract that declares not only our rights but also our responsibilities as free individuals. In the embrace of the Constitution, we discover the promise of limited government—a government that is not a hindrance but a protector, a facilitator of our pursuit of a better life.
In the spirit of self-governance, we turn our gaze to the first and second amendments and beyond, recognizing that these rights are not mere privileges bestowed upon us but inherent aspects of our identity as Americans. Our freedom of speech, the right to bear arms, and the entirety of the Bill of Rights are not concessions from the government; they are the birthright of every citizen.
Amidst the challenges and uncertainties of the present, we must remember that the power to effect change rests in our hands. We, the People, are the true architects of our government, and if we desire a transformation, it begins with our choices. Our elected representatives are but stewards of our collective will, and it is our duty to ensure they uphold the sacred tenets of the Constitution.
And as I speak before you today, I am not just a voice in the chorus of patriots; I am a candidate, a fellow citizen who seeks to serve as North Carolina's Next Lt Governor. I carry with me the conviction that by electing leaders who embody the principles we hold dear, we pave the way for a brighter future.
North Carolina, like every state in this great union, has the power to shape its destiny. By electing leaders who embody the principles we hold dear, we pave the way for a brighter future. It is a future where the government serves as a shield, protecting its citizens from harm, and a guide, making their lives smoother, not more burdensome.
Let our voices resonate with the spirit of the Constitution, echoing through the hills and valleys of North Carolina and beyond. Let us stand united in our commitment to the principles that have defined our nation. As we look towards the horizon, we see not only challenges but also opportunities—to reaffirm our commitment to the Constitution, to celebrate the freedoms we hold dear, and to build a future where the flame of hope burns eternal for generations to come. Together, let's embark on this journey to safeguard the principles that make North Carolina and America great.

Shut it down, shut it down, government in disarray,Politicians playing games, citizens gotta pay,
Shut it down, shut it down, government in disarray,
Politicians playing games, citizens gotta pay,
In the capital, they bicker, while we suffer every day,
Shut it down, shut it down, time to find a better way.
Gridlock in the halls, decisions on pause,
Shutdown looming large, like a government clause,
Debates in echoes, while the people bear the cost,
Leaders pointing fingers, democracy almost lost.
Budgets in limbo, like a ship without a sail,
Public servants furloughed, the system's bound to fail,
Families feeling the strain, as the rhetoric prevails,
In this political storm, who's steering the trail?
Enough of the shutdown, it's time to break the chain,
Find common ground, let solutions reign,
The people need a voice, not this endless refrain,
Shut it down, shut it down, let compromise regain.
Shut it down, shut it down, government in disarray,
Politicians playing games, citizens gotta pay,
In the capital, they bicker, while we suffer every day,
Shut it down, shut it down, time to find a better way.

It's Time America starts finding ways to take care of it's own citizens. It's time to put Americans First
I'm running for Lt Gov in NC to put a voice for those struggling in North Carolina and America. My goal is to advocate for positive change and find ways to work with others to find solutions to problems, not to cause more problems.
