Summary
In this Based Camp episode, Malcolm and Simone Collins break down the rapid decline in support for Pride events and LGBT causes. From NPR reporting on corporations pulling sponsorships to Gallup polls showing consistent drops in approval for same-sex marriage and especially gender transition, they explore why public opinion has shifted so dramatically. They discuss cultural overreach, grooming concerns in schools, transgender issues and violence, the “groomer” label’s effectiveness, and why even many Democrats are turning away.

Plus: family moments with Octavian, the evolution of Pride from fun to corporate/ugly, birth rates and political heritability, Don’t Say Gay bill realities, and a deep dive into the Bricks & Minifigs scandal.
