Summary

This month is LGBTQ Pride Month. But viewing people through the lens of sexual orientation, race, religion, or any group at all is not beneficial to society. The left demands that radical ideologies not only be tolerated but also celebrated. Long ago, Dennis learned there are only two groups of people in the world and it has influenced his life ever since.

0:00.0	Hi everybody, Dennis Prager with Mr. Tubbs. Some of you may not know Mr. Tubbs.
0:06.4	He's our newest addition. He too is a bulldog. Nothing could replace Otto, but Mr. Tubbs is a winner.
0:15.6	We got the name actually from the people who bred him in Pennsylvania and men and
0:22.5	night country. It was hard to find and we found Mr. Tubbs. They gave him the name because his
0:28.6	dad was Mr. Chubs and we fell in love with the name Mr. Tubbs. So here he is and hopefully you will
0:36.4	be seeing him next to me for many many years at Fireside Chats. This is chat number 291. We are
0:45.2	300 minus 9. I think that's a big deal. I'm very excited about that. So today begins
0:55.2	LG BTQIA plus Pride Month. Is that right? Pride Month? Wow, a whole month. So a few words about this.
1:08.2	I don't understand. No, I take that back. It's actually not a meaningful phrase.

1:23.4	But let me talk to you for a moment about the notion of group pride. What does that mean?

1:48.0	PJ Media Town Hall. And it's my weekly column and I wrote it about this notion. So I tell the story
1:57.8	that when I was Bar Mitzvah, so meaning of course when I was 13, I got a gift. One of the gifts
2:05.2	was, I got many gifts. One of the gifts was a book called Something to the Effect Great Jews
2:12.9	in Sports. And I also remember this, which is very interesting given how deeply Jewish my
2:19.2	upbringing was. I went to religious Jewish school every day called the Ashiva. I went to a Jewish
2:25.2	camp. My family was Jewish. My friends were Jewish. And I lived in a Jewish Italian neighborhood in
2:33.9	Brooklyn, New York. But I didn't relate to the book. I thought, what difference does it make to
2:41.6	me, whether they were great Jews in sports? And that's an odd reaction because obviously the person
2:49.9	gave it to me thought it would be a meaningful gift. But I realized later that I never had in me
