Federal intelligence agencies are warning that this year’s Pride Month may be targets for terrorist organizations.
The FBI and Department of Homeland Security released a public service announcement last week titled, “Foreign Terrorist Organizations and their Supporters Likely Heighten Threat Environment during 2024 Pride Month.”
“The FBI and DHS are issuing this Public Service Announcement to provide awareness to the public of foreign terrorist organizations (FTOS) or their supporters potential targeting of LGBTQIA+-related events and venues,” the announcement reads. “Foreign terrorist organizations or supporters may seek to exploit increased gatherings associated with the upcoming June 2024 Pride Month.”

“[Foreign terrorist organization] efforts to commit or inspire violence against holiday celebrations, including Pride celebrations or LGBTQIA+-related venues, are compounded by the current heightened threat environment in the United States and other western countries,” the agencies warned. “FTOs and their supporters have previously promoted anti-LGBTQIA+ rhetoric and targeted LGBTQIA+ related events or venues for attacks.
“The public service announcement noted the June 2023 incident in Vienna, Austria, during which three ISIS operatives attempted to attack a Pride parade.
It also noted that June 2024 will be the eighth anniversary of the Pulse Nightclub shooting in Orlando Florida,

The Pulse shooting resulted in 49 individuals being killed and a further 53 wounded. The perpetrator called himself a “Soldier of God” and pledged allegiance to the Islamic State. It was celebrated by Islamic terrorist organizations around the world.

The FBI and DHS encourage Pride month event attendees to be mindful of potential indicators of “threat activity” such as “unusual surveillance or interest in buildings, gatherings, or events” and “prolonged testing or probing of security measures.”
The public service announcement did not mention any specific events or regions of the United States in its warning.
Pride month begins on June 1 and runs until the end of the month. source
So they have a whole month to celebrate their disgusting behavior? Insane
Where is a month of celebrating CHRISTIAN MONTH? Celebrating JESUS .
Not just a month. They have so many days like that on Resurrection Sunday this year that one author deemed them narcissists. And it is so true that no other organization calls so much attention to themselves and try to force their wicked ways on you and your children. Yet if you were to burn a “pride” flag you would be prosecuted in this country for a hate crime while the FBI does nothing to terrorists who damage pregnacy resource centers, public buildings and statues, or campuses.
This LBGTQ group are the terrorists!
Things I’d rather do than go to this event- have a root canal, pull crabgrass from the yard, clean the toilets, defrost the freezer.
Pathetic mentally deranged people exploited by those of evil intent. I can actually pray for them, as it’s sad. They have been deceived & deluded by the evil spirit. Can’t imagine who would go; wait! The media who are always ready to cover it. An audience paid to attend.
Normal people are too busy doing normal things, like celebrating Father’s Day, birthdays, graduations , weddings, vacation, planting a garden, taking a hike or a day trip, visiting relatives, or just bird watching on the patio, near the hummingbird feeder, playing the piano, calling a sick or elderly neighbor to see how they’re doing, or reading a good book. Especially The Good Book!
Amen, sis!
Amen!!!! 🙂
AMEN & AMEN!!
I can never get the like button to work but i sure love your post Darline!
Who said they could have a whole month??? I didn’t vote on it. And veterans get only one day????? Ridiculous!! That needs to change, and I will vote for veterans getting a month. They had a huge celebration planned for this city. Our church prayed that it would rain, and it did!! It was one of the heaviest rains we had all year!! Their disgusting celebration was cancelled, of course.
