Hilarious as always. On a serious non comedic note though, acceptance month rather than "pride" makes far more sense. I'm not even proud of things I've actually achieved, let alone for simply being who I am.
@@That-Bond-Babe I understand it as proud for risking yourself in the past, and in countries where it's illegal to be openly homosexual etc. But there's no pride in it now it's accepted. In many ways, it seems like an attempt to regain the notoriety by a few outspoken groups, because everyone has stopped paying attention to it. Which is surely what was wanted? So yeah, acceptance month.
EDIT: Which basically means not caring what people do if it isn't hurting anyone, so just June instead :)
@werxeh "if it's not hurting anyone"
I draw the line at children. When children are bring predated upon then I will oppose whatever that movement or group is. That's after the fact that, as she says above, having pride over an intrinsic or trivial character trait (eye color, hair color, height, skin color etc) is utterly ridiculous. Who a person is, are their values/morals/principles as they live them through convictions. Not their skin color, not how they walk, not how they talk (vocal fry that lots of young women and gay men employ), not their favorite music or food. Humanity is having an identity crisis because having a true identity requires work, discipline and conviction. Whereas asigning your base character traits as your identity requires no work and is self affirming. The whole thing is a sham.
@@rickyspanish492 I fully agree with her and you, that is why I stipulated not hurting anyone. Physical or psychological abuse is still damage, and that is something everyone should discourage. Because that is illegal regardless of sexuality for anyone.
To be clear it shouldn't just be discouraged because it is illegal, it's illegal because it is wrong. But yeah if two adults want to go to town on each other and they both want to, we don't care right?
@@irreverend_ I don't think it should be given any avenue. Give an inch and they take a mile. As evidenced every time it happens in history, including this one. "Acceptance" was achieved which means it was never about acceptance. I would rather remove the alphabets and progressives from society than allow them to drag everyone else down with them. The greater good is what matters most. Not the minority. It's so funny how they will always shriek about "dEmoCraCy iN dAngEr" when the real threat to true democracy is allowing the minority to dictate the majority. Especially when that minority hates the majority.
Society definitely needs a healthy dose of shame.
Just check the comment section it’s there in abundance
Shame is good for you.
if not aids and suicide
@mcjeebus Eastern Europeans are the most shameless people I've ever met. I like to tell myself that I've only met the ones that abandoned their country for money but that's tempered by the belief that communism put a big wall between them and everything that is right in the world.
by "they are misgendering people but also killing them with axes" I had to stop and cry for a while...
The never ending rainbow narrative reminds me of the story of Babylon.
I'm bisexual and for many years now me and other bi and gay men I knew have been calling pride shame we call the gay village shame and the walk of shame the great unwashed we have a whole myriad of names for the gay village
I suspect there'll be more of these activists months celebrated, such as Lust, Sloth, Wrath...
Oh well done. Love this. Had me in stitches😂😂😂😂😂
Thanks Sarah!
Well done.
Love Leo ❤
This is hilarious!
I thought an LGBTQ+ was a Chinese electric car. 🤷
Hilarious. Even as an American I loved it. ✌
this guy is gold
I take no pride in pride month, it should be shut down.
After a gazillion prideparades gays are as annoying as mimes now.
Worse, mimes aren't wearing indecent clothes in front of children. Even some females are guilty of this one.
At least mimes don't screech at you.
Like a trump parade being infiltrated by antifa, this is all by design to divide and conquer the people. So many being fooled
If only we could find a way to combine the two, they might neutralise each other. 🤣
Humility is a virtue.
Pride is a vice.
Nailed it.
Pride is one of the seven deadly sin and the reason Lucifer was kicked out of heaven.
Indeed ... pride is one of the seven deadly sins.

@@pollyparrot8759 comes before a fall too doesn't it lol
People who gave their lives for their country get one day. People who can't tell you what a woman is get a whole month.
I don’t know, I feel like most of the time when conservatives or politicians bring this point up they never really care about people who serve. They only bring it up in relation that gay people don’t deserve to have pride. We actually do have a military appreciation month, but it’s just not as main stream in the general population, that’s why we celebrate Memorial Day in the month. I just hate how these people think we as gay people don’t “struggle” anymore and we don’t deserve to be recognise…when in other countries just our existence means death or imprisonment. If you really care about the military you would talk about the millions of homeless vets in our streets, the amount of sexism that occurs that still occurs to women serving, or rampant mental health crisis effecting a lot of those serving (it’s crazy the amount of sucides and sucide referral you see in the low enlisted community), but again that doesn’t matter at the end of the day to these people. The military and the people who serve are always just a pawn, only brought up in relation to others but never actually going in depth of what we can do for our service men and women
@@CloroxBleach-nu8voI have donated more than 30,000 dollars for homeless vets to build them a 1bhk home and I’m sick of pride month too. So, what’s your argument now? Flash news, if you are being executed in the mussel east, then your marches should be in the Middle East.you don’t increase the security on the playground when the bank is robbed
@@CloroxBleach-nu8vo excellent response!
@@CloroxBleach-nu8voYou seem like someone who’s full of pride.
@@tatu9805 no disrespect just curious, but is that how I come off. I truly don’t mean to, I’m just very passionate about this subject in general lol
Pride month? More like Pride year. Never ending.
Yes well people are affected by bigotry all year round. We're never going to be quiet about it.
@@oneironaut420 True, but bigotry affects many areas of society and it seems that the LGBT etc. etc. community seems to feel that it deserves some kind of special treatment; it doesn't, and it would be more respected if it would just shut up and get on with life.
@@jonb4020 We aren't going to be silent when people are actively trying to take away our rights and lying about our lives, families and relationships. YOU think that queer people think they deserve special treatment because you don't want to admit that we are seeking EQUAL treatment. Homophobia is an obstacle to that and if you don't see it it's because you don't WANT to.
I didn't recite "with liberty and justice for all" in school every day for years to settle for anything less. And queer people contribute to society and are a part of every community. We fight your wars, teach your kids, bag your groceries, perform your surgeries and create your favorite entertainment. We're not going to live like dirty little secrets just to avoid offending your delicate sensibilities.
Spot on.
@oneironaut420 Everyone experiences bigotry. Slapping your private affairs in people's faces isn't gonna make things better. It'll just piss people off more. If gays wanna blend into society let's stop the flags, and pervy marches. FYI you aren't oppressed. You're attention seekers.
Oh how I have missed real great comedy like this...makes me also sad how authoritarian this country has become
Thank god our founding fathers were God Chads and create the first amendment to stop 1984. Unfortunately they never plan for Demolition man. It’s sad I loved it and I cry
You can’t force people to not be assholes to each other that
Homophobia is NOT a huge problem .... our leaders are though
This old guy can attest that it never was a problem.
Of course it's still a problem. Look at all the people out there calling gay people groomers just for existing openly. Look at the local state legislatures that are STILL trying to find ways to undermine gay marriage. It was only a few years ago that LGBT people were ruled to be protected by our workplace and health care laws and right wing bigots STILL complained about it. Gay kids are still being thrown out into the streets by their "good" Christian parents. Maybe you should do your research before you spout such ignorance.
Exactly, nobody cares, just get on with your life!!!
Considering nobody has an irrational fear of somebody else's homosexuality
@@gln3276 Many people do have an irrational fear of it… they think kids can be “turned gay”, a lot of straight guys are afraid of gay men treating them the way they themselves treat women. But a phobia isn’t just an irrational fear, it’s also a strong aversion, which many people have towards it.
As a gay man, in the West at least, I can honestly say homophobia is NOT a huge problem now.
Sick people.
Same
Homosexuals are gay.
English gay guy here - 100% agree with Leo. Crying laughing right now 🤣
It's nice, at this point in history/time whatever, to encounter a comedian that actually makes me laugh.
There's no such thing as homophobia. Literally NO ONE is scared of them. Not even a little.
Nor, islamophobia, transphobia, fatphobia etc etc etc.
Phobia doesn’t just mean ‘fear’ it also means ‘averse’ or ‘dislike’ surely you know this already?
@@jacksonvilletaxman1 Great. Thanks for demonstrating you’re not aware words can have multiple meanings. USA education is doing a fantastic job.
@@jacksonvilletaxman1 I said it doesn’t ‘just’ mean fear, so not sure why you’re straw manning me saying ‘instead of’ when it means both, just look in a dictionary. What do you mean by ‘real life’ It is literally used everyday to imply dislike or aversion, hence transphobia or homophobia. It’s only used to describe ‘fear’ when referring to disorders like agoraphobia and arachnophobia. It is also used in biology to describe organisms who dislike certain conditions (photophobia, hydrophobia). The opposite suffix is ‘philia’ or ‘philic’. You not being aware of the meaning of words is on you, not anybody else. Nobody is saying transphobia is a mental disorder. Simply disliking an agenda doesn’t make you transphobic, disliking trans people for no reason other than them being trans is what makes someone transphobic. I’m sure you’d agree people shouldn’t change the meaning of words just to suit them.
@@jacksonvilletaxman1 That was always the case. It’s when you start going out of your way to let trans people know you don’t like them simply because they are trans is where issues arise. Same applies to homosexuals etc. Don’t throw your toys out of the pram when you are referred to as transphobic. It’s just a word.
I can't understand what the alphabet crowd are proud about🙃
I'm fat, and I found your gags about fat people *_hilarious!_* 😆
"They'll start a petition to get all the vikings out instead of fighting them, but will spend time making it not seem anti-immigration" laughing my ass off fucking brilliant
Let's have modesty month
We do. It's called "December".
forgot what its like to hear edgy comedy pushing the boundaries of good taste ........... AWESOME!
agreed.
Wow, he vaulted over the boundaries of good taste and screamed off into the horizon.
good taste? is that a joke?
@@joefoley1480 yes! thats why its comedy. :o)
@@georgedavidson957 yeah Georgie it was so "awesome and edgy" but I have seen him do better
Wow that was fantastic I almost had given up hope of ever hearing anything funny again 🇦🇺
We do need a shame month for sure, I agree. Well done Leo!
They need an entire month of pride and many days throughout the year to validate their behaviour, because they feel absolute shame for the depraved and dangerous acts they conduct.
But they only do that during pride month.... I mean that's the issue isn't it? If it was just a march of solidarity or some such, no one would care. But it's become people parading around in the middle of the day in gimp costumes half naked, and I'd be arrested for wearing that on a normal day (at least if I admit I'm not gay). I think it's a little unfair to say that the majority of people who fall into that group do take part in that parades though, and that most are just trying to get on with their lives and are quite happy you can't be hanged for consensual homosexual sex any more.
No, because there are still people out there who don't have the luxury of living openly and honestly. Do you even know WHY June is Pride month? Do you know the history of the holiday? No, you don't care, you just want to vilfy and demonize.
@@irreverend_ Exactly. Pride month is a REALLY BAD representation of the vast majority of gay/lesbian/bi people who don't agree with or subscribe to the agenda and just want to be left alone to get on with their lives quietly like most people.
As with most things its a vocal minority getting all the attention while the much quieter majority are nothing like that and want nothing to do with it. It saddens me greatly when people look at pride parades and the trans agenda and all the other crazy shit associated with LGBTQIA+ like pronounds and language policing and think this has anything to do with most gay people. It does NOT!
Yeah! My local town has its Pride Parade in August… I’m thinking why the fuck don’t they just do it in June when all the fucking flags are everywhere already? We have to put up with it all for a whole Month, then they are coming back a short while later to do it again! It’s like Douglas Murray says: it started off as a Pride Parade. Then it went to Pride Day. Then Pride Week. Now Pride Month! But then really, they bang on about it all the fucking time, it may as well just be a perpetual Pride Lifetime, as we clearly need to know about their preference ALL THE FUCKING TIME!
@@CaptainDarling2020 I mean, straight people make their preference every day in every facet of society so why not gay people too? No sexuality is pushed on society more than heterosexuality.
"Really large microaggressions" is going into my lexicon, for sure.
Thanks to people like him I can still see hope for this civilization... and if not, I want a prison cell next to his.
“They’re misgendering people…and they’re also killing them with axes.” 😂
It's rare to find a genuine and honest comedian who keeps a great beat, knows when and how to leave an audience suspended and then deliver a highly unexpected punchline. You, Leo, are a Master of your craft. Well played, Sir. You left me in stitchee.
My oldest friend is gay. He HATES being lumped in with all the other letters. He knows no trans folk, doesn’t like lesbians, doesn’t identify as queer (I had to ask him what the Q stood for) and doesn’t see why he should be categorised alongside people who like banging women now and again. I don’t know what the + means. He probably told me at some point after I got bored listening to him moaning about it all and drifted off. I do take his point though. We’ve been friends for 38 years (and he has been openly gay for 37 of those) so I’m allowed to get bored when he starts droning. This isn’t homophobia - gays can be boring too now and again. It is nice though to have this perspective, that the LGB etc (I’m not being flippant I’m genuinely afraid of missing out a recently added letter of which I am unaware) community is anything but. For comparison if you took all religious folk and called them the JMBCH community you would end up with something similar, a community made up of factions who really have little or nothing to do with one another. A fallacy. Here endeth the lesson. Straight people can be boring too 😊
When I go to the doctors I ask him about a ‘friend’ of mine..
I haven't laughed that much for quite a while. Thanks Leo!
That was funny as fuck, love you on GBNews too Leo! The missus records the paper review to watch early morning, I feel cheated if you aren't on it 🤣
I may be wrong but I think the prevalence of abuse in lesbian relationships is relatively high
Psychological abuse?
@@chains84 Physical I think.
You're a funny bloke mate 😂 proper British comedy ❤ would love to see you live sometime .
Thanks man!
@@LeoKearse Always love seeing you on The Lotus Eaters segments. Tell Carl you deserve a raise.
@@MasterMalrubiusalways love the Leo episodes no matter the topics of the day
"So it's pride month. Don't know if you noticed"
Starting strong xD
Leo is the best comedian out of Scotland recently and swiftly replaced many of my favourites. Even UK favourites. Fucking hell, he was needed. And useful comedy and commentary it is. There’s never a bad clip. Never weak material. It’s never boring. I mean he’s killing with every line.
I mean think about Frankie Boyle (became dull quickly), Billy Connolly (brilliant but not a lot of new material) and Leo doesn’t do lazy one liners and is politically reasonable and not retarded like so many of them now. So that’s many many reasons he’s the best on every level.
You really should get out to some comedy nights. There are some great comedians on the circuit who will never make it to TV because their material is not PC.
He’s Scottish? How can you tell?
Billy Connolly is 80 and has parkingsons so no he won't have a lot of new material.
@@deja-view1017got the wokies to thank for that. 🙄
@@sarahhumphreys3980 absolutely. My son (a comedian) nearly stopped altogether as it was getting so difficult not to upset someone in an audience (and it was always someone who had nothing to do with the joke). And he's not even a particularly controversial comedian.
I seriously thought that shame flags might be good idea. Like the German flag with a star of David in the middle flying for one day.
It's great to be straight month
Yes why isn't there a proud to be straight month why do gays need a charity they have full rights althoughbi know a lot if gays don't support what oxide has become. What us so special about theircsexualty that there's a month devoted to it oh no its gays transgenders bisexuality and assesuals. Do y think y are better than straight people is that it I believe Italy cancelled pride month and had family mo th instead.good for them
8 don't push my straight sexualty why should they push theirs
My work supports pride month and encourages staff to wear the rainbow flag in June. I wear a rainbow badge with George and Zippy with the slogan, “oh Geoffrey”. The can’t complain as it does have a rainbow on it 😂
They are proud to be the end of the family lineage, no grandkids for their parents
Usually it's the gay son or daughter who ends up taking care of their parents when their siblings are too busy with their own kids to help out. Besides, many gay couples adopt kids that have been left behind by their straight parents. You're welcome.
@@oneironaut420When your whole identity revolves around who you have sex with. I think it is good to be skeptical of you around children.
@@fatmonkey4716 I hardly ever hear gay people in mixed company talk about who they have sex with. Homophobes bring up gay sex more than gay people do. And they always seem to focus on gay MALE sex for some reason; they always talk about how gross anal sex is even though half of gays are lesbians who don't have anal sex much at all. This says a lot more about the homophobes themselves than anyone else.
It's OTHER people who focus on the sex they IMAGINE we have. THEY are the ones who can't see past the sex part to see us as human beings with actual feelings and relationships.
Gays know that sexuality is about more than just sexual intercourse. It's also about who we are attracted to, who we love and who we form relationships and families with. But homophobes just focus on sex so that it's easier for them to vilify and demean our lives and experiences.
One of the all time great comedians!
Definitely.
"Homophibia" is a big problem? Theyre chanting " we're coming for your kids" but you dont see that, do you?
Scottish catholics giving the Taliban a lesson..........ohh yes..............🤣🤣🤣
Leo, you're my favourite comedian right now. Saw you at Unleashed a while back. This set just got funnier and funnier 👏👏
Pride comes before a fall.
His Scottish accent makes the jokes even better. Non-Americans have such effective vocabulary and makes things a lot funnier than they probably are. It took me a _very_ long time to know I'm Ace, partly because I don't f*cking care about orientation or labels. Is it too much to simply exist without knowing some personal preferences? I'm all for figuring oneself out to have a peace of mind but, damn. The alphabet people have taken things **WAY** too far this year. Be happy with who and what you are but let's remember to keep some things to ourselves.
Some gay guys I knew/know didn't show any "signs" as they didn't make it out to be their only characteristic. Very polite. Well spoken.They also just so happened to dress very well but doesn't every self-respecting person do that?
Annnyway, the only real fact Leo didn't say about who's actually upset about us Asexuals is feminists. Feminazis in particular, the man-hating ones that want nothing more or less to wipe us off the Earth. When in college I read a passage which humored me. It was a bona fide statement backed up by some sources claiming Feminazis hate us Aces because we don't fit into that stupid rhetoric they're always saying: "Men only want one thing..." uh... if it means what I think it does, no we don't. Begone, Karen! Off to CVS for a boxed wine for your sorrows and bag of Whiskas for the cats! Try to figure out a more practical way to insult us Aces. Take your time. I can wait.
By the way, if I understand the online community correctly, "we" don't want to have anything to do with the LGBTQRSTUVWXYZ+ people at all. Neither do black or Hispanic people, if that's what the triangle part on the rainbow flag means. It's demoralizing. Black coworker of mine said it makes him and the family come off as needy for support and want more attention like any other oppressed minority. Nope, nope. nope. He's pretty well off as a matter of fact. Nobody needs that and definitely doesn't need to be represented on a stupid flag.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Brilliant! I'm sure the Leprechaun is going to be a rather happy man! As a Fat perdom I seriysky objevt ti yirpr connents aboit far fingwrs!
Pride before a fall, let these confused individuals walk right into a pit...
Humility is virtuous and something we all should strive to be.....
What a pleasure to hear some unapologetic Politically Incorrectness.
Shame month is right!
Hilarious set! I feel like I got a candy bar for free and I get to enjoy it. Thank you
Pissing myself laughing! The audience flatlined on the shame month but I think it just needs more work. Have at them Leo. Love from oz!
The Scottish were able to fight off Viking hordes and give the British a run for their money, but political correctness has beat them into submission with a finger wag.
The Scottish ARE the Viking hordes. By the time they fought them off they'd already intermarried with previous generations of Vikings. Go to Largs and look at the locals. Scandinavia has been insufferably woke but it looks like they're getting over it so maybe Scotland will too.
@@lallalucas4145 They were able to fight them off by getting them drunk and some hanky panky.
At long last a comedian who makes me laugh
LEO is brilliant and very funny. Had I been in the audience I would have been rolling over with laughter. Too many humans are too serious about themselves. LAUGH more at yourself and everyone else, that is what comedy is. Great job Leo.
fist like a ham hock. lol
Brilliant. Marrying kinks with unusual remedies or solutions that would be hard to otherwise explain. Very smart.
I wrote a joke about gay pride/shame, about 2 years ago, for a set I haven't performed yet, but have tested the specific joke on comedian friends in London, so, I'm going to have to get rid of it now, and take it as encouragement that great minds think alike, or that it was worth nicking.
"Really large micro aggressions."
The finger trick doesn't work with black bears.
True, it's better to use your foot in that case
Hell of a weekend huh?
Does it work with Asian bears?
I'd like to thank what's left of you for trying so we don't have to.
Great set, Leo!!
This is real comedy.. I'm absolutely howling 😂
Thank you 😁
You really need to do more stand up again dude :p
Thanks man, I'll make time for it, I miss it
Many of my friends from the lbgtq+ love Leo. I am fat and I love him too.
Aw man. I used to follow you on twitter, before I was banned despite never lying. Was always asking when you were gonna be gigging in Scotland. Glad I got to finally see some!
I love the lack of f$÷#s this guy gives
Thanks again Leo
1/12th of EVERY year dedicated to celebrating a brash and narcissistic minority...that equates to 5 years accumulated timespan out of every 60 years...
How come? What's up? Really??
Great new material! The funniest 10 minutes I've heard from anyone in a long long time! I hope you are still touring with Andrew Lawrence by October in London.
Just FYI, freezing doesn't kill all bacteria, just halts the reproduction.
Very funny. Let everyone let everyone else be month. Apart from Nazi death stormtroopers, Daleks Cybermen and model T1000 Terminators.
how is it any better than a woman with a freshly manicured finger going boop stop it I’m dead 😂😂😂
Wow! A modern comedian that's actually funny.
"All they do is study their opinions." OMG yes.
I have no issues with somones sexuality, orientation or identity, but I just don't get this need for anyone to fo marches etc to express their pride for their sexuality, whatever their sexuality is. They want to be treated the same, but make a big deal out of their sexuality, making themselves stand out, which i find a bit contradictory.
Also there seems to be double-standards, like people aren't allowed to celebrate being straight; where is straight pride month, marches and events?
really large microaggressions
you are fantastic Leo, keep doing your thing buddy full support
He is a terrible comedian do yourself a favour don’t bother wasting your money
"homophobia is a huge problem."
Not for society.
Brilliant ,great to hear a Proper comedian !
This was hilarious! The end bit was my favorite!
shame month would be great
"pride is not the opposite of shame, but it's source" -Uncle Iroh
Very funny guy.... Love him on GB news..... Great working class comedy that is sadly being cancelled by the woke lefty goons
superb stuff, a brilliant comedian and a very intelligent man, a superb riposte to all the pride tyranny
One of the best comedians around. A masterful set.
Why do we have to celebrate who we used to call in the olden days weirdos ?
We don't. So I don't.
Superb! Laughed my Leo Ke-ARSE off.....
"Managed to escape the fat activists by walking upstairs" 😂
I'm not bothered about Pride month, but I do wonder when they're going to get around to the other six deadly sins. Gluttony month sounds appealing. Lust month could be interesting too.
Pride month is kind of becoming lust month if you think about it. Have you seen the shit people wear in those parades?
Here’s 50$ imaginary dollars that was funny
Cometh before a fall
Pride is one of the deadly sins in old speak yet in the west we dedicate a whole month to parading, bragging and in your face demands to embrace me or else mantra.
But where is homophobia an actual problem in the west?? Gay and queer and all that glitters gets you everywhere now. It is social currency that catapults you up every ladder of social standing, employment, politics, entertainment and education.
Heteronormativity is now the social crime and is made to be underrepresented everywhere you go. Heteronormative people are given the newspeak title of cis or cisgendered to make sure the whole social construct of the western world today knows you are heteronormative. Then your social standing automatically falls, you are expected to own your privilege and beg for understanding from the LGBTQI elites who may pardon you for being cisgendered but it all depends on how remorseful you are and how many rainbows you can wear at one time to meet the LGBTQI requirements for acceptance.
We are at a precipice of destroying normal civilisation and in its wake is state sanctioned non heterosexual relationships, state owned children who are being trained up in the way of the LGBTQI lifestyle, sexual behaviour and non gender identities where removing healthy reproductive organs is not only encouraged it is applauded and on mass sterilisation of anyone who aligns themselves with transgender ideology. We already have state run education they doesn’t give a damn about maths and literacy but they do care about your identity as long as it isn’t cis. Then all citizens must bow down and worship all that is opposite to heteronormative.
We live in bullshit world!!
OK Chicken Little, let's break that up. First, gay pride is an expression of liberation from tyranny and oppression. That is NOT the pride talked about in the Bible, and in fact there are many such endorsed celebrations of relief from oppression in your good book (Israelites dancing when they were freed from slavery, for example). The kind of pride which Jesus and many prophets in the OT truly hated was that from people in power whose pride and haughtiness over the poor and oppressed fueled and justified even more oppression. Like the eunuch who Jesus defended against the Sadducees and Pharisees for not taking wives, even if they "chose" that path in life. In the uncorrupted original Hebrew, the grave sin of Sodom and Gomorrah was not homosexuality either, it was their mean-spirited pride, superiority complex, and resulting mistreatment of strangers (namely Lot and other visiting country dwellers). In the modern world, I would argue it is so called "Christian" Evangelicals...historically renowned for their racism and homophobia...who manifest the actual biblical definition of "pride. "
Holy crap.... LOL!!! What a savage.
