The following is an excerpt from my new book American Pilgrim.

I decided to visit the gay pride parade to film footage for my YouTube video travelogue. I knew I’d be walking into the biggest exhibition of homosexuality in the world, so I prayed on the subway ride over that what I was about to see wouldn’t corrupt me further or make me hate others. I got off at the 14th Street subway stop and walked up the stairs into the middle of Sodom.

I was greeted by a group of black women twerking in the middle of the street. Large groups of gays and their supporters walked by, fully decked out in rainbow paraphernalia. Most surprising of all was that most of the attendees were straight women of college age with slim figures and long hair, dressed up as if they were attending a music festival like Coachella, with little ribbons tied around their arms and their skin coated with a shotgun blast of glitter. I walked by one such female on the sidewalk, and she was sticking out her tongue in front of her smartphone to get the perfect selfie, barely able to keep her eyes open from whatever drug she had taken that wanted to close them.

I walked closer to the parade line. Huge groups of gays in skimpy clothing roamed free, unafraid of judgment. I passed by a restaurant named Garden of Eden, reminding me of where I was not. I made it to the parade line and was greeted by an overweight, shirtless black man wearing a gimp face mask. His leather pants were so low that I could see his curly pubic hair. Then another group of gays arrived in full bondage gear, whooping it up as if they owned the city. Beside me a white man and Asian girl couple was taking a selfie with several transsexuals in the background. I imagined it would receive an inordinate number of likes on their Instagram accounts. A parade float sponsored by American Airlines came through with multiple gays and transsexuals dressed as flamboyant flight attendants. The crowd was cheering, waving their rainbow flags and yelling, “Happy pride!” An Irish Pride float followed, and then I looked to my left and saw three topless women, significantly overweight, with random words scrawled across their bodies.

It’s one thing to see homosexual activists online, but it’s another to see them up close. They are not a niche community and they are not small fry. The gays may be small in absolute numbers, but their corporate sponsors and government enablers have elevated them to be one of the most privileged groups of our time. Their straight allies shout down men like me for being “bigots” while elevating the naked obese women and the black man with visible pubic hair as paragons of virtue.

Based on the huge presence of heterosexual women, I concluded that all gay propaganda, from the rainbow flag to the empty slogan “Love is love,” is not targeted at gays at all but straight women. It is meant to suck them into a degenerate lifestyle of fornication and intoxication, to develop a hatred for the type of man who is most capable of creating a strong family and resisting the evils of homosexuality. The purpose of gay pride is not only to pat gays on the back but to destroy female innocence, to bombard them with a lifestyle of sex and drugs, to render them sterile. And it’s working, because I was stunned at how many attractive women were cheering with their gay flags, at how many women were being pulled down by Satan into hell.

I was happy to leave New York City. Apart from the birdbath in Central Park, I had seen nothing good for a soul that was trying to be good. Everything about the city attempts to draw you into the cult of the world. Many who live there are convincing themselves that New York City is the best city in the country, and that they’re living the best life possible, when they’re actually living like a diseased rat, soaking in filth, excrement, and sulfur. Just trying to eke out a living in New York City requires such an obsession with the material in the name of “making it” that the spiritual life is unlikely to happen. I must conclude that God has forsaken New York City. He abandoned her long ago, and I can only wonder whether He will enact judgment upon the city in my lifetime.

New York City - Where people go to worship and peruse the things of this world.

New York City is probably filled with more actually conservative people than anywhere else in the country. Try the Indians in Queens or the Orthodox Jews in Williamsburg as an example. These groups make the average Midwest Christian look like a spiritual tourist.

No offense Roosh, as this is your site, but seek and ye shall find. You seem to spend a lot of time in hatred, in reaction to the unpleasant aspects of modern America. I’m sure we would all appreciate it if you spent more time putting out positive stories and messages, not merely reactionary ones.

Goal #26 of Communism- Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as “normal, natural, healthy.”

I once heard a sermon on the radio where the Pastor said "If God doesn't punish America, then He must apologize
to Sodom and Gomorrah."

The purpose of gay pride is not only to pat gays on the back...

That is the main problem, pride and patting them on the back. We can be tolerant, and historically they have fitted into society in various ways or kept quiet about their inclination, but why is it something to be proud of or encouraged.. Anyway, hopefully the ones on the street with everything on display are a smaller part of the community and the others are just gay but without shoving it in everyone's faces.

"Pride" is a mortal sin. Taking pride in the sin of greatly disordered lust that cries out to Heaven, and is so disordered that even the demons can't stand it, compounds it (I am guilty of that like I assume all men are...).

I fear for the future.

Pedophiles today are using the same arguments that homosexuals used back in the 1980s-90s.

People are aghast when they're told that normalizing and legalizing pedophilia is coming down the pipe, but in the 1980s, people would've been equally shocked to hear normalizing homosexuality and gay so-called "marriage" was coming. Many Demon possession (like many drug addicts) don't look like what you think. You expect speaking in dead ancient languages, and the cliches of "The Exorcist" (which do happen from reports...) people don't expect someone smiling waving a rainbow flag.

I often wondered why they were perverting the sign of the Covenant between God and Noah (Gen 9: 1-17), the Rainbow. I remember a priest saying that the (I might be wrong, I'm trying to remember something I heard a while ago...) Deluge didn't happen until they "crossed a line" and people recognized gay marriage... The rainbow flag is their (the demon's) way of mocking Almighty God. It's almost like they're using it as a reverse and inversion of the Crucifix. The Crucifix says, "Look at the moment of your defeat! His Victory on the Cross! The Lord has Won! This is the worst you can do to God, and He is Risen! Because of this moment, which everything before It looks forward to, and everything after It looks back to, we are not afraid of death! Lavdate Dominvm!" Their use of the rainbow says something similar, "You didn't defeat us! You thought you won with your Deluge! But look!! Look at how many people, elected officials, and corporations we have on our side!"

Gays are always demanding access to the Saint Pat's parade, to our churches, etc. But would they ever allow conservative Christians to march in their parade- say ex-gays who have found salvation?
These parades are often filled with images mocking Christianity, yet they take offense and demand persecution for 'hate' if you mock them.

That's the whole point - healthy group behavior is ALLOWED for them not for us. If Christians did behave like that they would literally be attacked by the left and the democrat controlled governments.
It's well known for example that there are litearlly dozens of muslim and jewish bakeries in large cities like New York that won't bake a gay wedding cake. Some Jewish bakeries won't server gentiles. For some reason, (((MSM))) is not interested.

Interestingly enough, the NYC that Roosh visited no longer exists so maybe there is justice?

The world has changed drastically in the last year. Normalcy bias is a beech.

That's how it has always been, though, hasn't it? That the people sing, dance, and hold orgies in the streets... until BAM, they're not anymore.

Jesus did warn us: it would be like the Flood, where men did exactly this sort of thing, and mocked Noah for building an ark on dry land. Noah would have been considered "that weird, crazy old hermit" that didn't want to participate in the wild parties. Then there just came a day when the noises in the streets just stopped. Well, they didn't stop completely, there was the noise of rushing water and a lot of screaming.

We're the weird, crazy old hermits. Until we're not.

I would apologize but I will not. I stand with Islam and the Old Testament on this issue. It is not hate, this is a demonic force, a disease that spreads and destroys. There is a reason that God called for it to be eliminated from your society. Note how it was said that many straight women are being lured into this sickness. Children as well. Tolerance may work in some instances but...

Yeah, I echo what others are saying. I get the whole love the sinner hate the sin. But, people, marching in the streets with the mayor and all the rest of it is the product of being too accommodative to these people. I'll just say it...homosexuals are not compatible with society. I get the whole we can't hate people as Christians bit, but, for Pete sake, they literally regard their events with "pride". Hate to state the obvious, but, pride is a sin.

I think the proof that this community is incompatible with society, especially an optimized free society, is obvious. We have all this acceptance of homosexuality in 2021 and we're living in a totalitarian state. Is there a connection? Hello...McFly. Yes, look at any riot or antifa or blm or radical leftist whatever and you will always see, like clockwork, rainbow flags. This condition that infects our society is a function of large intrusive and un-check state because it necessitates this in order for homosexualism to, ostensibly flourish. This is due to the fact that you must control people's thoughts and behaviors to engender this outcome. Without such intrusive controls in place people naturally revert back to an instinctive, and therefore God inspired, perspective of this condition as being fundamentally wrong. And I think the evidence speaks for itself. Be it the prima facia male-to-female connection via intercourse. Procreation only being possible between male to female. The very high medical risks homosexuals endure as a result of their lifestyle both a combination of the risk of sodomy and the frequency that they engage in such acts. If it were so natural as they claim then why is this community a locus of disease. And then there's the psychological impact and, of course, the spiritual.

homosexuals are damaged people.

The responsible thing is to not encourage these people, because, they'll manipulate you with their sob stories, get you to feel sorry for them, force you to fight their battles for them and then bask in unhindered promiscuity as though that is the only calling worth pursuing in life. Meanwhile they'll absolutely detest anyone that remotely goes against their wishes. This is a very hostile and selfish group of people.

As for their popularity with women, I think its because they pull on their heartstrings and play their little "woe to the homosexuals" violin.

I can speak from experience because only recently has this group insisted on everyone (meaning liberal normies) to fly their obnoxious flag around an otherwise family-orientated town. You realize this was never about "rights" and its only partly about power and domination. Its far more devious and pathetic. Its about forcing entire communities and civilizations to give them what they always wanted, which is to be the most popular kids in the school. They want to be the "cool kids" and the "heroes" and the "save the day" people. And its really that simple.

Hi LurkerInLimbo. :)

This is only an excerpt from his new book American Pilgrim, which is around 400 pages - if I am not mistaken.
This small written piece provides context to the story's journey. But you raise a great question: why are there unpleasant aspects of modern America?

All Roosh did was write what he observed in this excerpt, which is a form of travel writing.
Did you find any words of hate, or could we look to Ephesians 5:11 for a better description for what was written in the excerpt:

Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, expose them. Ephesians 5:11

Hope you have a chance to read Roosh's American Pilgrim; you may find an inspirational message and a few positive stories.

While NYC does have high raw numbers of conservatives, the percentage of liberals there is much higher. Trump won under 38% of New York, and the only borough of the 5 he won was Staten Island.

Same with California: are there technically more conservatives in Cali than Wyoming? Sure, but percentage wise you're going to be surrounded by leftists at a much higher percentage in California (if you live in any of the major metros).

NYC is the epitome of a Marxist cesspool. It hosts the largest Pride parade in the world with Tel Aviv on its heals and that speaks volumes of who's in charge.

Just because NYC has "conservatives" doesn't mean they aren't worldly or backpeddling on the spiritual battle either. It is a worldly, excrementitious city. A long shot from when they used to light up the skyscrapers with cross-shaped patterns on Christmas in the 1950s. The demographics are also what makes it a cesspool. Having every race and culture mixing in a stink pot slowly giving birth to this amorphous blob of modernity only breeds resent, hatred, distrust, and deep-rooted regret.

There's a lot of truth to New York being finished going forward. The mayor is literally trying very hard to ruin his city and he's been very successful at it. Covid may be keeping more people than normal from being in the city or whatever, but, even if this passes at some point I think the mass awareness of remote working will keep a lot of people working from home. If the NY population-commuter variable was n before covid I think it will be y after and n > y. That will have lasting impact on the city be it tax revenues to CBD real estate to residential real estate. This is the spiraling effect. Less taxes mean less social services means more discord et al. Oh and the police force is now 1/6th less than it used to be, exactly when its needed the most. New York is hard to get out of and its surrounded by hostile populations. Its a city that can go from bad to horrible real quick and I think we're there.

I guess New Yorkers could vote di-blassio out, but, fat chance since he's all about handouts (well at least on the surface) and how can we trust elections going forward anyway. He could get zero votes for all we know and still win. Talk about God's judgement.

But, hey, they'll keep the homosexual parades going. You know what...if there's no future, if the place is literally going to hell, then the homos can have it.
