The Rainbow Privilege

In the West, at least, they are wealthier, better educated, better housed, and more 'protected' than any other 'minority', but they still cry about being 'discriminated against'.

The rainbow cult imposes itself with the arrogance of the chosen and the impunity of the untouchable.

The curtain is closing, and although the Paris Olympics were memorable in sporting terms, they will also go down in history for an opening ceremony that was largely a woke coven with satanic overtones. For those seeking definitive proof of the West’s arrogant and grotesque decadence, the ideology-saturated Parisian elites managed the clumsy feat of both disparaging their own culture and offending many others—all in prime time.

But beyond the pathetic Pavlovian reflex of mocking and offending as if it were a universal hallmark of the génie français, what stands out from a distance is the insulting frivolity with which an exultant minority allowed itself to humiliate a resigned majority in front of billions of astonished viewers. The embarrassing mockery of the Last Supper is a direct consequence of the brutal secularization sweeping through Europe—but that’s not all. It also reflects the hegemony of ‘rainbow/queer/trans’ ideology, now an official cult that imposes itself with the arrogance of the chosen and the impunity of the untouchable. Behind the usual victimhood narrative lie privileges, favoritism, and an omnipresence that feels almost obligatory.

In Spain, companies with more than fifty employees are required to establish inclusion plans for ‘queer’ workers, while the public employment service gives them the same preference as abused women or people facing social exclusion. Additionally, the law reverses the burden of proof, forcing the accused to prove their innocence in cases of homophobic and transphobic accusations—a radical departure from the legal principles established by Roman law and a significant blow to the presumption of innocence. In Canada, a court sentenced a father to six months in jail for opposing the ‘transition’—including hormone injections, puberty blockers, and a double mastectomy—of his healthy daughter. In Switzerland, the state has withdrawn parental rights for the same reasons, while in France, conversion therapies are punishable by two years in prison, preventing psychologists from helping minors reconsider irreversible mutilations. Let us not forget that the EU, despite lacking any authority over education, has withheld billions of euros from Hungary for protecting minors from any sexual propaganda, especially gender ideology.

The anthropological dimension of this hegemony is also astonishing. In the name of this cult, even the most elementary biology is redefined, with absurd claims like sex being a cultural construct, and grammar being altered with nonsensical social rules. Basic education is also being changed: children are sexualized from an early age and taught to dance like ‘drag queens’ at summer camps, so that the innocence of children is sacrificed on the altar of ‘inclusion,’ according to the trans agenda! Women are another group that suffers as collateral victims of the rainbow cult. In the name of diversity, men are allowed to ‘compete’ in women’s tournaments (as happened in the infamous Olympic boxing match), and rapists end up in women’s prisons, while actual women are officially referred to as “menstruators.”

Culturally, the ‘queer’ hegemony promoted from the highest levels is both overwhelming and invasive. From rainbow flags on the facade of the EU’s External Action Service, to trans-symbol traffic lights in Trafalgar Square, and on to multicolored crosswalks in many cities, the ‘queer’ agenda has colonized marketing and public spaces with unprecedented voracity and efficiency.

All that was left was to appropriate the apolitical Olympic Games and transform it into an ideological showcase. And so it was done. Except, this time it backfired, as what is commonplace in the West is deeply shocking to much of the world. This controversy highlighted the unbearable narcissism of ‘queer’ gurus, as well as the haughtiness and isolation of political and cultural elites. Nevertheless, the scandal had the merit of awakening Westerners who, frightened and alarmed by their own decadence, realized both that they are not alone and that this liberticidal nonsense can and must stop immediately.

Frankly, why does a particular group enjoy such extensive legal, economic, and social privileges? Who is truly the victim: the untouchable who offends without even allowing himself to be criticized, or a believer whose faith is humiliated in front of the world? It’s time to speak out: the ‘queer’ cult has been adopted by an influential and arrogant elite whose dominance has taken on autocratic qualities. And if transgression consists precisely in mocking the powerful and ridiculing hegemonic beliefs, then let us claim the right to subject the favored and official rainbow cult to the same standards of freedom of expression that they impose on others. Hundreds of millions of Christians and other citizens who are committed to mutual respect, equality before the law, and the defense of public freedoms are no longer willing to turn the other cheek.
