Ben Shapiro Is Triggered By A Pride Flag. Twitter Wasn't Having It

By Conover Kennard — June 12, 2023

Ben Shapiro really doesn't like Pride Month. He has some bizarre thoughts about it. If you've read any of his work, you'd think, 'Wow, he had a great education, and yet, he's still stupid."

Shapiro's Twitter feed is typically a hot mess, too. He lost it over the Biden White House hanging a Pride flag/banner to honor equality and the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan.

Ben couldn't handle it.

"Not one American soldier fought and bled for this flag," he tweeted."Not one American taxpayer paid taxes to the government of this flag. Not one law has been passed under a government elected under this flag. The ideological coup is complete."

Ben took a break from grinder to comment.

There are a million openly gay veterans. There are 65,000 openly gay active service-members. Freedom from the tyranny of bigotry is as American as apple pie. Anyone who oppresses the rights of Americans is themselves the problem—not the victim or the hero. https://t.co/biC6P5DzIp

And as a matter of fact, Ben, countless men and women have fought and died for what that flag represents.
For the freedoms it represents.
Not only is it a symbol of freedom, it also reflects our diversity.
Freedom, inclusivity, diversity, community.
Sounds pretty damn American to…

I don’t remember you being upset when that same building (OUR building) was used as a campaign backdrop in an effort to re-elect a man tens of millions of us did NOT vote for. pic.twitter.com/bOrkeobiK3

This right here:

We pay taxes too. And unlike the Dixie flag- this one represents love. Get over it Ben

I'm straight, but I've always celebrated Pride Month. I'm an honorary gay. Ben will never get that honor. Pride Month went from solely being about the 1969 Stonewall Uprising to also being about love and acceptance. And yes, people have died. Ben needs to read up on Matthew Shepard and many others from the LGBTQ community targeted for being who they are.
