Most Americans want corporations to stop pushing pride month and believe that the ideology that goes along with it harms children.

A new poll from Summit Ministries and McLaughlin & Associates found that 61 percent of voters with an opinion on the issue say introducing young children to ideas like transgenderism, drag shows, and LGBTQ+ themes hurts their emotional and psychological development.

The pollsters also found that 63 percent of respondents who have an opinion on the issue believe that people advocating for children to be exposed to these things are motivated by a desire to push a specific cultural agenda.

“We’ve suspected for a long time that most Americans think it hurts kids when the culture sexualizes them in the name of left-wing progressivism. This poll reveals that the vast majority of voters share this concern,” said Dr. Jeff Myers, President of Summit.org and co-author of the new eBook Exposing the Gender Lie: How to Protect Children and Teens from the Transgender Industry’s False Ideology.

“While most Americans are rightfully suspicious of the claims that proponents of drag shows, transgenderism, and LGBTQ+ themes are just trying to help kids, this polling confirms what we’ve seen in our research—some social media platforms are being used more than others to normalize the early sexualization of kids,” Myers continued.

Another poll conducted by the same organizations found that a whopping 73 percent of voters with an opinion on the issue want businesses to stay neutral on political and cultural issues.

A 52 percent majority also said that they support efforts to boycott businesses that take public stands on political and cultural issues.

“Bud Light, Target, and the Los Angeles Dodgers have found out the hard way that huge numbers of their customers don’t support what they consider to be ‘woke’ values,” said Dr. Myers.

“This poll shows how big the issue is: nearly three/fourths of Americans say they don’t like it when businesses weigh in on controversial issues, and more than half support boycotts of companies that take political or cultural stands. CEOs and companies have a choice to make: continue virtue signaling to the progressive left minority and in turn alienate most Americans, or return to doing what companies do best—staying in their lane and providing products and services their customers want.”

New York City-based conservative artist and activist Scott LoBaido was given a summons for throwing pizzas at City Hall on Monday.

The protest was in response to the city’s increased restrictions on coal and wood-fired ovens, which many believe threaten the livelihoods of numerous local pizzerias.

The Gateway Pundit reported that New York City would be cracking down on wood-fired pizza joints to reduce carbon emissions by up to 75%.

“All New Yorkers deserve to breathe healthy air and wood and coal-fired stoves are among the largest contributors of harmful pollutants in neighborhoods with poor air quality,” Department of Environmental Protection spokesman Ted Timbers said in a statement to the New York Post on Sunday. “This common-sense rule, developed with restaurant and environmental justice groups, requires a professional review of whether installing emission controls is feasible.”

Iconic pizzerias known for their wood-fired pizzas, such as Grimaldis, Arturo’s, Lombardi’s, and others, may be exempt from the mandate.

Mr. LoBaido lambasted the city’s leaders, condemning their efforts to limit traditional pizza cooking methods. His impassioned demonstration, he said, was symbolic of broader issues facing the city under the current administration.

“The woke idiots who run this city are doing everything in their power to destroy it,” LoBaido said during his protest at City Hall.

“We have naked men with their titties bouncing around all over the city yesterday, in public, in front of children. We have the most violent, raging crime rate ever. We are being invaded by illegal immigrants who are being treated way better than our homeless veterans,” he added.

He did not spare the city’s education system either, commenting, “Our city schools produce the dumbest kids,” attributing the problem to what he described as the “woke ass punks who run New York City.”

Linking the city’s crackdown on coal oven pizzerias to his litany of grievances, LoBaido said, “The world used to respect New Yorkers as tough, thick-skinned and gritty. Now we have become pussified. It’s a damn shame.”

In an act of defiance and an homage to another famous protest, LoBaido announced, “You’ve heard of the Boston Tea Party? Well, this is the New York Pizza Party.”

As he throws slices, he yells “Give us pizza or give us death.”
