HH. BREAKING: Pam Bondi Refuses to Host Pride Month — “WOKE People Don’t Deserve to Be Celebrated”

Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi has ignited a fierce national debate after making explosive on-air comments about Pride Month, declaring she would not participate in any events tied to what she called “a WOKE agenda.”

The moment unfolded live during a television interview when Bondi was asked whether she planned to attend or host any Pride-related gatherings this June. Her response was immediate — and shocking to many watching.
“WOKE people don’t deserve to be celebrated,” Bondi said firmly, doubling down when pressed on whether her stance extended to LGBTQ+ individuals. “I’m not against anyone personally, but I won’t stand behind movements that go against nature and traditional values,” she added, leaving the studio momentarily silent.
The exchange quickly went viral, with clips circulating across X (formerly Twitter), TikTok, and Instagram. Within hours, hashtags like #PamBondi, #PrideControversy, and #WokeAgenda began trending nationwide.
Supporters of Bondi have praised her as “courageous” for speaking out against what they view as political and cultural overreach. “She said what a lot of Americans are thinking but afraid to admit,” wrote one commenter. Others see her remarks as a deliberate attempt to stir division during a month meant to promote inclusivity and equality.
Critics, meanwhile, have condemned Bondi’s comments as discriminatory and regressive. Advocacy groups and LGBTQ+ leaders have spoken out, calling her remarks “dangerous” and “deeply disrespectful.” “Pride Month isn’t about politics — it’s about human dignity,” one activist said.
Bondi has not apologized or clarified her remarks, instead telling one outlet that she “stands by every word.” As backlash and support continue to flood social media, the fallout from her statement appears far from over — and once again, Pam Bondi finds herself at the center of America’s ongoing cultural divide.
The question now: is this about free speech — or crossing a line?
