Overview

In this episode, Matt Walsh reacts to a series of viral LGBTQ-themed TikTok videos providing "instructions" for straight people during Pride Month. Walsh offers his characteristic satirical and critical commentary, dissecting each video to highlight what he sees as inconsistencies, entitlement, and the “culture of demands” rising from contemporary LGBTQ activism. The tone oscillates between mockery, skepticism, and social commentary. The main theme: Walsh argues that calls to “just leave us alone” are contradicted by ongoing demands for societal attention and accommodation.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Critique of the ‘Leave Us Alone’ Narrative

[02:23]

• A TikTok creator claims, “What LGBTQIA people want this Pride Month is to be left the alone.”
• Walsh’s response: He mocks the contradiction:

  “Just leave us alone. Bigots. Just leave us alone. And also redefine marriage … and also give up your bathrooms … and also let us indoctrinate your kids … and also leave us alone.”

  • He argues social conservatives always doubted these pleas for privacy, noting how activism and public demands have contradicted claims to desire privacy.

2. ‘How To Be A Better Trans Ally’—Material and Emotional Demands

[03:21-04:53]

• A trans advocate provides six tips for “being a better trans ally,” including:
  • Giving money;
  • Teaching makeup or “how to dap up”;
  • Using preferred pronouns;
  • Speaking up on their behalf;
  • Cooking for them.
• Walsh’s reaction:

  “Hey, you know what we actually want during Pride Month is everything … give us everything and give us your money.”

  • Walsh notes with a hint of sarcasm that, at least, this advocate is “way more honest” than previous ones.

3. The Increasingly Direct Requests for Money

[05:15, 07:30]

• Walsh observes the growing number of LGBTQ and BLM activists now straightforwardly asking for financial support (CashApp, Venmo).

  “It always kind of was a shakedown … here’s my CashApp, here’s my PayPal, here’s my Venmo. Give me your money. But now the gays are doing it, too.”

4. Rules for Straight People in Gay Bars and at Pride

[06:46-10:07]

• Several TikToks set rules:
  • Don’t come to gay bars if you’re a bachelor party;
  • Don’t offer to make out when drunk;
  • Know queer history;
  • Buy LGBTQ people a drink;
  • Be a guest, not the center of attention at Pride;
  • “Pride is a protest, not a party.”
• Walsh’s pushback:
  • He questions the premise: why not simply “not go to gay bars” or “just not have these events” at all?
  • He scrutinizes the historical romanticizing of Stonewall, calling the bar “a Mafia bar where they did all sorts of creepy stuff … just a den of depravity that the cops were right to shut down.”

5. The ‘Safe Space’ & Token Solidarity Culture

[08:43-09:41]

• Advice appears: show a rainbow icon or symbol to signal being a “safe space.”
• Walsh’s response:

  “I’m a person. I’m not a space.”

  • He compares it to the satirical insistence that everyone must “wear the ribbon,” referencing Seinfeld.
  • He suggests that post-2024, the cycle of compelled solidarity rituals is largely “over.”

6. Pride as Protest of ‘Normal Behavior’

[10:30-11:24]

• Pride is described as “a protest”—but of what? Walsh wonders.
• He concludes:

  “Pride is a protest of normal behavior.”

  • He suggests rejecting Pride and returning to “normal,” arguing that if these events “intrinsically involve all sorts of weird sex getups,” they should not be part of the mainstream.

7. Generational Shift & Cultural Fatigue

[11:24-13:56]

• Walsh notes how current LGBTQ talking points ("safe spaces," correcting pronouns, gender-neutral language) feel dated, “passé”—akin to “millennial boomers rehashing the old slogans of their hippie youth.”

• “Even reacting to this stuff—it feels kind of old, doesn’t it? It feels passé. … I mostly just feel pity reacting to these people ‘cause it’s over.”

• Prediction: younger generations (“Zoomers, Gen Alpha”) will see this phase as “really old and cringe and silly.”

8. Comedic ‘Straight Pride’ Stereotypes & Cultural Disconnection

[13:56-19:10]

• A TikTok user lists supposed “Straight Pride” traits, e.g., wearing ugly running shoes, hating cats, liking Netflix rom-coms, having corny home décor (“Live, Laugh, Love” signs).
• Walsh expresses total bewilderment:

  “I don’t even know how to engage with it in a way that is sardonic or critical … I’m at a loss. The lesson has failed on me. I will persevere through pride as I always have. I’ve learned no lessons. I’ve not been transformed in any way other than to feel even more distant.”

• He closes with a comedic, self-aware riff on generational alienation:

  “Okay, Boomer. Okay, Boomer. Okay, Boomer…”

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• [02:23] Matt Walsh:

  “Just leave us alone. Bigots. Just leave us alone. And also redefine marriage… and also give up your bathrooms… and also give up your sports leagues… and also let us indoctrinate your kids. And also. And also. And also leave us alone.”

• [03:53] Trans Ally Advocate:

  “If they’re trans feminine, teach them how to do makeup … trans masculine, teach them how to work out … use their preferred name and pronouns … cook for them.”

• [04:53] Matt Walsh:

  “They’re not asking to be treated like normal people. They’re asking to be treated in a totally special category in a way that is contrary to how you would treat normal people.”

• [07:30] Matt Walsh:

  “It always kind of was a shakedown… But now the gays are doing it, too. That’s interesting.”

• [09:10] Matt Walsh:

  “You’re not a space. You’re a person. And you don’t have to wear a totem to affirm your membership in a cult or pseudo religion you’re not a part of.”

• [11:57] Matt Walsh:

  “Even reacting to this stuff—it feels kind of old, doesn’t it? It feels kind of passé. I can’t muster outrage here. I mostly just feel pity.”

• [19:08] Matt Walsh:

  “I don’t even get it. I’m at a loss. The lesson has failed on me. ... I’ve learned no lessons. I’ve not been transformed in any way other than to feel even more distant.”

Final Impressions

This episode spotlights the satirical style for which The Michael Knowles Show is known: blending reaction to pop culture trends (in this case, TikTok) with a broader critique of left/progressive activism. Walsh positions himself as an unamused, sometimes bewildered observer to contemporary LGBTQ advocacy, finding both irony and exhaustion in current cultural debates—ultimately suggesting that, in his view, society is moving past Pride Month orthodoxy into an era of reaction and rejection.

Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile with a message for everyone paying big Wireless way too much. Please, for the love of everything good in this world, stop with Mint. You can get premium wireless for just $15 a month. Of course, if you enjoy overpaying. No judgments. But that's weird. Okay, one judgment anyway. Give it a [e-mail] Switch upfront payment

of $45 for 3 month plan equivalent to $15 per month required. Intro rate first 3 months only, then full price plan options available, taxes and fees extra.

[Matt Walsh]

See full [e-mail] it's that time of year again. Pride Month is upon us. I. I don't like girls. I, for one consider this to be a month dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Tennessee at least considers this to be a month dedicated to the nuclear family. But some people still haven't gotten the message, so they're doing the last gasp of. And some members of the LGBT elemental community have just outlined the rules for straight people during what the liberals call a sacred liturgical month. This by way of TikTok. Take it away.

[LGBTQIA TikTok Creator]

Hi. Are you a straight person?

[Matt Walsh]

Nope.

[LGBTQIA TikTok Creator]

Looking to get that special LGBTQIA person in your life a gift this Pride season?

[Matt Walsh]

Nope.

[LGBTQIA TikTok Creator]

How about this? It's called Leave us the Alone. Call your friends, your senators, your representatives. Write the Supreme Court. Let them know that what LGBTQ LGBTQIA people want this Pride Month is to be left the alone.

[Matt Walsh]

Don't call me.

[Mocking Voice / Audience]

Don't come by my house.

[Matt Walsh]

We're done.

[LGBTQIA TikTok Creator]

Best of all, this gift is free. It costs you nothing at all. You can just move on with your life while you leave us the alone. Spread the word. Let the other straights know what we really want. This Pride Month is simply to be left the alone.

[Matt Walsh]

They just want to be left alone. Just leave us alone. Bigots. Just leave us alone. And also redefine marriage from the level of the Supreme Court. And also give up your bathrooms and let us go into the opposite Bathroom. And also give up your sports leagues. And let us have men beat up women in sports. And also let us indoctrinate your kids. And also let us castrate your kids. And also. And also. And also leave us alone. We definitely want to just be left alone. We don't want to completely transform society and take up your attention all the time. Just leave us alone. That's why we're making this video. Yo, let's leave these lovers alone. Come on, come on, let's go. I don't think anyone believes that anymore. Some of us social conservatives were pointing out that the whole leave us alone thing was obviously ridiculous from the start. But I don't even think that chick believes it anymore. If she just wanted to be left alone, she'd just go do her own thing, right? She wouldn't be in your algorithm. Next one.

[Trans Ally Advocate]

Do you have a friend or a loved one who just transitioned and you don't know what the to do to help them?

[Mocking Voice / Audience]

Oh, spare me, spare me, spare me.

[Trans Ally Advocate]

Here are six things that you can do to be a better trans ally. 1. Give them money. Unironically, transitioning is incredibly expensive. If you give them money, you are helping them out the best way that you can. This also looks like buying them food or going shopping with them.

[Unknown Female Commentator]

2.

[Matt Walsh]

Talk to them.

[Trans Ally Advocate]

The process of transitioning can be incredibly isolating and lonely. Just spend time with them. Talk to them.

[Matt Walsh]

Just.

[Trans Ally Advocate]

Just hang out. 3. If they're trans feminine, teach them how to do makeup. Teach them how to wear clothes. Let them know what the F is going on. The trans masculine, teach them how to work out or teach them how to. How to dap up.

[Matt Walsh]

I don't know how to do it.

[Unknown Female Commentator]

4.

[Trans Ally Advocate]

Use their preferred name and preferred pronouns. If you it up, don't make a big deal out of it. Just say sorry and then use the correct ones. 5. Speak up for them when they're not around. You may notice that most people are genuinely transphobic, whether they are trying to or not. And saying nothing makes you also a culprit of transphobia. Especially with the current political climate kind of preying on the downfall of our entire existence. Speak up or else you're compliant. Sixth, cook for them. Transitioning is puberty. Number two. Do you know what you have to do during puberty? You guessed it, eat a ton of food. So what do you have to do? Cook a ton of food. And then they'll be like. And then you'll be like, I'm a great person. Also, just treat them like a person. Okay, but I Love you.

[Matt Walsh]

Okay. All right. This guy, until the very last part there, this guy's at least being way more honest than the first chick who says, you know what we really want during Pride Month is nothing. We want nothing from you. Just leave us alone. This guy says, hey, you know what we actually want during Pride Month is everything you need to focus on us, us all the time and give us everything and give us your money. Give me money.

[Queer Supporter]

Give me money.

[Mocking Voice / Audience]

Give me money.

[Queer Supporter]

Give me money.

[Matt Walsh]

Give me money. At least he's being honest. Give us your money. Which they're demanding in this case, literally, like, in a very direct way, but always are demanding in the sense that all the rules and accommodations and new laws that they want to pass, those do require your taxpayer money. So they're always demanding that. But in this case, he's just making it totally direct. And then cook for us and then lie for us by calling us the wrong pronouns and then promote our propaganda, even were not around, and give us your food and give us everything. So he's being direct about it. Then at the end, he said, treat us like a person, but he doesn't really mean that I'm a person. I have to have a lie. Because they're not asking to be treated like normal people. They're asking to be treated in a totally special category in a way that is contrary to how you would treat normal people. You wouldn't just go up to a guy in the street and give him all your money and give him all your food and lie on his behalf and all the rest. The one thing he says here, though, that that is kind of sad and I think is actually good advice is talk to them. You should talk to them. And that's true. But when you talk to them, you shouldn't lie. What he's really saying is, talk to us and lie and affirm our delusions. But the request he makes that is good is he says, talk to us, and you should. That's a good idea. Actually, during Pride Month, if you have to address this at all, you should talk to people and just tell them the truth and tell them it's not great. Hey, no judgment. All God's children. It's fine. I was gay once, and, you know, it's not the center of your life like this guy wants it to be. But in as much as you have to deal with the issues, you should tell them the truth, that it's no bueno, and they should knock it off.

in a gay bar.

[Pride Etiquette Advisor]

If you're with a bachelor party.

[Trans Ally Advocate]

Don't come. Get out.

[LGBTQIA TikTok Creator]

Sorry.

[Mocking Voice / Audience]

Jesus.

[Unknown Female Commentator]

Don't offer to make out when you're drunk.

[Mocking Voice / Audience]

If you want, you can make out.

[Matt Walsh]

No, don't start a sentence with if I was gay.

[Mocking Voice / Audience]

If I was gay.

[Trans Ally Advocate]

Well, you're not.

[Unknown Female Commentator]

Know your queer icons.

[Matt Walsh]

Renee Brown, Marsha P. Johnson, Jonathan Bailey.

[Pride Etiquette Advisor]

Buy me a drink.

[Unknown Female Commentator]

This one's already know your history. You know, Stonewall isn't just a bar.

[Matt Walsh]

Yeah.

[LGBTQIA TikTok Creator]

It was a series of protests by the members of the LGBTQ community in response to a police raid that began on the early mornings of June 28, 1969.

[Matt Walsh]

That was specific.

[Trans Ally Advocate]

Do have fun and be a normal person without making yourself a center of pension. And finally give us money.

[Matt Walsh]

Oh, my goodness. Is this a new thing? I didn't. I've never seen this. And all the Pride propaganda which has been going on, what, for basically my entire life, I've never seen this. They're just asking for money. It just comes down to just give me your money. The black activists during BLM started to do that. They tried in the early days of that kind of activism. They tried to make it not about just a shakedown. It always kind of was a shakedown. MAU Mauing, the flat catchers, you know, and that sort of thing. But they made it really direct. Just give us your money. Here's my cash app. Here's my PayPal. Here's my Venmo. Give me your money. But now the gays are doing it, too. That's interesting. I like the setup, because the setup says, here's how you should act when you go into a gay bar during Pride Month. That's a really. They're kind of slipping in that premise there, because what you could just do is don't go to gay bars. They mentioned Stonewall, which was this gay bar where the gay rights movement supposedly began. And Stonewall was a Mafia bar where they did all sorts of creepy stuff, and it was totally unsafe and failed health inspections, and it was really just a den of depravity that the cops were right to shut down. And if only they had succeeded, we would have been spared a lot of nonsense. But, you know, what you could just do is just not. Don't go to gay bars. And you don't have to worry about any of that stuff, and you don't have to give them your money. Okay, next one.

[Safe Space Advocate]

Here is a way to be a better ally. Visibly show maybe something on your bag or your clothing that you are a safe space for our community. Maybe something like a rainbow Mickey, if you attach it, it lets our community know that you are a safe space.

[Matt Walsh]

I'm a person. I'm not a space. A lot of the LGBT activism reduces people down to just flesh, down to just sacks of meat, and reduces human beings down to their worst inclinations or whatever. But you're not. You're not a space. You're a person. And you don't have to wear a totem to affirm your membership in a cult or a pseudo religion that you're not part of. This is like that old Seinfeld episode where they say, wear the ribbon, actually, and that was about gay stuff. It was about solidarity with AIDS or whatever, but they said, like, you have to wear the ribbon. Wear the ribbon. Wear the Pride. Flex.

[Unknown Female Commentator]

Who do you think you are?

[Matt Walsh]

Put the ribbon on.

[Mocking Voice / Audience]

Hey, Cedric, Bob. This guy won't wear a ribbon. Who. Who doesn't want to wear the ribbon?

[Matt Walsh]

But that's over. That seems over to me. We reached the peak of that in 2023, and then it went downhill. And I think it went downhill because of the 2024 election where Republicans specifically ran against all the LGBT stuff and won. And won the popular vote for the first time in 20 years and won a unified government and won so many races. I think that's over. I don't think we have to wear the ribbon or the. Or the little totem on our bags or persons anymore. Next one.

[Pride Etiquette Advisor]

You're Australian one to attend Pride?

[Mocking Voice / Audience]

Nope.

[Pride Etiquette Advisor]

Guess what not to do in Berlin. You'll see people wearing extravagant outfits and a lot of nudity. People dress for their self expression, not for your entertainment. Do you want to take a picture? Just ask. Pride is for queer people. People, You're a guest at our party. Be respectful of that and let your queer friends shine. It's their day. Don't forget that Pride is still a protest. Make sure you understand the true meaning and history of this special day. What's Pride like where you live?

[Matt Walsh]

Pride is a protest of normal behavior. What is it protesting?

[Mocking Voice / Audience]

What is it?

[Matt Walsh]

All these displays you have. People sometimes wear these weird costumes and you shouldn't. And this is our event. But you should come. But only to support us. But don't support us the way you think you should support us. And you should just give them money. So, okay, yeah, I guess you shouldn't show up. And you definitely shouldn't dress up like some of the wackos that do the Pride events. But really, we just shouldn't have the Pride events. You shouldn't have. If the Pride events are a protest of normality, then we obviously shouldn't have them because we should be normal. And if the if the pride events intrinsically involve all sorts of weird sex getups, then those should not be on Main street, and so we just shouldn't have them. And if you don't want normal people to show up to them, then then we definitely shouldn't have them. Right? This is a pretty good argument to just shut the whole thing down, which I think we're on the brink of doing anyway.

[Queer Supporter]

Three ways you can support your queer friends Number one Be an active listener. There's a lot going on in the world right now and a lot of us just want to be heard. Stay informed on LGBTQ issues. When you stay informed, you'll be able to have proper conversation. Give honest feedback along with advocate for your friend. Number three, Create a safe space. This means being respectful of everyone's identities and group settings and correcting anyone who does not know how to use proper pronouns. Using gender neutral language is key. This helps people avoid assumption. If you found this helpful, follow for more wow.

[Matt Walsh]

What's so amazing about that video is it just feels so dated. It feels so old. It feels like the sort of thing that millennials were complaining about boomers doing, which is just rehashing all the old slogans of their hippie youth imagined or experienced. And we just say, yeah, okay boomer. That's what the millennials used to say. But now the millennials are the boomers, the gay millennials are the hippie boomers now. And it all just feels sort of old and tired. Even reacting to this stuff. It feels kind of old, doesn't it? It feels kind of passe. I can't muster outrage here. I mostly just feel pity reacting to these people cuz it's over. I mean, we still have to call attention to it in the sense that some corporations are still pushing this stuff, some celebrities. JLo has her stupid Pride video, the MLB. I'm sorry to say the most straight sports league is still leaning into gays. Even the New York Yankees drives me crazy. It drives me nuts. I mean, we're not the Mets guys. We don't have to do that. But leave the gay stuff for the NFL or whatever. But so they're still pushing it. Woke isn't dead in the sense that they're just waiting to come back. They're waiting for their next opportunity after they got pummeled in 2024. But it just feels so passe. You know, this is what a lot of us were calling for, a Long time. They said, look, this is really awful. And there are tons of bad things going on. And, like, girls are getting concussions in sports cause big guys are beating them up. And you're castrating kids. And it's just the whole thing, it's really awful. But the one silver lining is that reality will reassert itself in the end. And this will be pass is going to be like your parents wearing bell bottoms. You're going to make fun of it someday. All the weird millennial gay stuff, you're going to make fun of it. A lot of them won't have kids because they're doing weird gay stuff, but we will react to that. The zoomers in which we place a lot of our hope and gen Alpha, they're going to look to this and say, that's really old and cringe and silly. And I think we've reached that tipping point now. It's still going on, but it's definitely not cool. It's not hip to the jive. Okay, next one.

[Unknown Female Commentator]

Hello, my people. Here are things that give. But what about Straight Pride Month? The same energy. You'll get it. You'll get it. Once you see the things I'm about to list, you'll understand. You'll get it. Okay, Wearing these running shoes with a normal outfit. However, this doesn't apply if you're like the weird kid that, like, talks to bugs at recess. And you wear these with a normal outfit, because you're probably gonna be, like, really queer when you're older. So just.

[Matt Walsh]

I have no idea what this woman's even talking about. This woman is so in her own head. So in, like, niche subcultures of. Subcultures of ironies, of subcult. I don't even get what she's trying to say. Let me see if I can figure it out.

[Unknown Female Commentator]

Nothing against the actors especially. He was in red, white, and royal blue. We love him. But just in general, this genre of Netflix movie gives street pride to me. And I don't even need to explain it. You get it, okay? Not only hating cats, but every time you see a cat, feeling the need to tell people that you don't like cats, like, why you hate something that brings other people joy.

[Matt Walsh]

Are cats specifically an LGBT thing? Specifically for LGBT girls with crazy colored hair? Because that is the greatest vindication of the Salem witch trials I can imagine. Like, in the old folklore of the witches, the witches had familiars which were cats. So cats were sort of symbols of witches or the demonic or the occult. And I don't really like cats, because they drive women crazy and they're. Whatever. But I don't hate cats or anything. But if this woman is claiming that. No. A big part of the LGBT ism is really liking cats, having a disordered affection for cats, a lot of things are starting to make sense again to me. Keep going.

[Unknown Female Commentator]

You know what's interesting? When I was in the closet, I was like, I don't get along with cats. That was me trying to act straight. Because gay people understand animals with boundaries. I mean, him in general, but also just like, seeing the photo of a man like this and thinking it's hot.

[Matt Walsh]

Oh, is that Morgan Wallens?

[Unknown Female Commentator]

Would never. Gay men would never. Men that have a Fender Stratocaster in their room suck at playing electric guitar, but post videos of themselves doing it anyways. I'm a woman that plays electric guitar.

[Matt Walsh]

It is straight. It's pretty straight.

[Unknown Female Commentator]

I can shred. And no one believes it. No one believes me because I'm a girl. Like, it is assumed that you should be good at electric guitar and you still suck. That's embarrassing. That's so embarrassing. Buying a sign that looks like this unironically, like this font in general, this, like, type of painting.

[Matt Walsh]

Put a pause here. That's not true. She's, like, totally wrong about that. The bougie, suburban, live, laugh, love kinds of signs. Yes, they are bougie and suburban and womanly. You know, it's like, it's like 42 year old suburban women love those signs. But that is also why gays love that kind of aesthetic too, which is a little bit kitsch and a little saccharine and sentimental. Gays like that stuff. How. How do you know that? Look, I'm from New York. I went to a very gay university. I lived in Los Angeles. I know for a fact. You're telling me gays don't like kitsch. Are you kidding me? What are you talking. This woman knows nothing about the gay aesthetic. Keep going.

[Unknown Female Commentator]

This, like, type of painted wood that's supposed to look rustic. Straight pride. Straight pride.

[Matt Walsh]

Oh, oh, no. Hold on now I get it. Fair enough. No, no, no. She's saying if you buy the kitsch signs, the live, laugh, love kind of stuff, which is intended for, like, straight suburban women of a certain age. But then you put them up, but not in the way that the gays put them up, which is in a kind of ironic, campy way. If you just put them up earnestly, that is very straight. The signs were made for straight, middle aged women. So if you're a straight, middle aged woman using them. That's straight. But really, they should only be used ironically by gays, which is gay. I get a lot of this stuff. Like, I can understand it intellectually. I see where it's coming from. I can critique it. Whoa. There's a lot of brain power in this room. We got Michael and Oscar, the two smartest guys in the office. But this is. I'm having a American Psycho moment. I'm having a Patrick Bateman moment where when Bateman goes up to the homeless guy, you and I have nothing in common, and he kills him. Spoiler alert. He kills him. I don't want to kill anybody. Don't want to kill anybody. But I'm just saying I'm having one of these moments of. I actually don't really have any common cultural touch points with this woman. She is speaking such a foreign language. I don't even know how to engage with it in a way that is sardonic or critical or. I just don't even. I don't even get it. I'm at a loss. The lesson has failed on me. I will. I will persevere through pride as I always have. I've learned no lessons. I've not been transformed in any way other than to feel even more distant. See you next time.

[Mocking Voice / Audience]

Okay, Boomer. Okay, Boomer. Okay, Boomer. Okay, Boomer. Okay, Boomer. Okay, Boomer. Okay, Boomer. Okay, Boomer. Okay,
