Indiana Lt. Gov. Is Terrified Of Pride Month: 'The Rainbow Beast Is Coming For Your Kids!'
Indiana Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith expressed his terror over upcoming Pride Month, a month dedicated to recognizing the LGBTQ+ community, in a frantic social media post Friday. 'PRIDE MONTH ALERT: The Rainbow Beast Is Coming For Your Kids!' the post from Beckwith said. 'WARNING: Corporate America and government institutions are launching their annual siege on childhood innocence—and this year's Pride Month agenda is more aggressive than ever.' Pride Month, which goes from June 1 to June 30, celebrates the LGBTQ+ community and the progress they've made in gaining more rights and combating discrimination. But for the conspiratorial Beckwith, Pride Month is a way to 'reprogram society' into being more compassionate, which is apparently bad. 'This isn't about 'tolerance,'' his post said. 'It's a state-corporate-pagan alliance to reprogram society. They've swapped biology for 'identity constructs,' swapped scripture for Harvey Milk sermons, and swapped parental rights for government-sanctioned grooming.' Beckwith ended his post with a link to a self-described 'Christian Independent Press' website that references the 'rainbow beast' in a post with an anonymous byline. On his biography page, Beckwith said he is a pastor who 'stepped up' after seeing the 'woke agenda threatening our schools.' Beckwith also came under fire last month for comments he made about the Three-Fifths Compromise, calling the 18th century law that counted an enslaved person as 60% of a free person 'a great move.' 'I would like to share with you, the Three-Fifths Compromise is not a pro-discrimination compromise,' he said in a video about the pro-discrimination compromise. 'It was not a pro-discrimination or a slave-driving compromise that the founders made. It was actually just the opposite.' Republican Gov. Mike Braun gave a mealy-mouthed response to Beckwith's slavery comments. 'I'm a believer that you better start thinking about what you're saying before it comes out,' Braun said. 'So, I'll leave it at that.' On Tuesday, demonstrators with Indivisible Central Indiana showed up to Beckwith's town hall to make their displeasure known. The group refers to itself as an 'inclusive, progressive ACTIVIST grassroots organization.' The protest was meant to 'raise public awareness about Beckwith's dangerous ideology and his efforts to dismantle democratic norms under the guise of religious extremism,' the group said in a statement. Braun's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment about Beckwith's latest comments.
