National Geographic Names Drag Queen Traveler of the Year

In better days, National Geographic could be found in every waiting room. But like other iconic publications (e.g., Sports Illustrated), it has fallen into decline. Nat Geo had to lay off all its staff writers and was pulled from newsstands. Why don’t people read it anymore? Because it is run by the sort of tasteless and obnoxious moonbats who would name drag queen Pattie Gonia a Traveler of the Year:
Pattie Gonia is a self-described “intersectional environmentalist, drag queen, and advocate for inclusivity in the outdoors” who works to “uplift LGBTQIA+ people and other underrepresented groups in the outdoors.”
We previously encountered Mr. Gonia when he was involved in a promotion of the LGBT agenda by the Democrat-controlled National Park Service.

The federal government can get away with ramming a depraved sexual agenda down the public’s throat because government is force. In contrast, nongovernmental entities have to interact with us on a voluntary basis, so repeatedly poking us in the eye sometimes has consequences.
That could be bad news for North Face, assuming any non-moonbats buy its products:
‘Hi, it’s me, Pattie Gonia, a real-life homosexual,” the activist says in a video for the 2023 North Face “Summer of Pride” campaign.
The issue is never the issue; the issue is always moonbattery — which Mr. Gonia repulsively personifies:
[Gonia] co-founded The Outdoorist Oath… The organization asks members to take an oath, which includes acknowledging climate change, committing to advocacy for environmental justice, and recognizing “that systemic oppression is real and that hatred, discrimination, and biases marginalize people.”
Outdoorist Oath seeks to promote inclusivity and raises awareness about conduct like “microaggressions in the outdoors.” The organization hosts activism workshops called “Stretch Sessions,” including sessions on white supremacy.
The global warming hoax, sexual depravity, transsexualism, Cultural Marxism, hatred of Caucasians — it is all one thing: moonbattery.
Underscoring that moonbattery is not merely foolish and nauseating but demonic, Outdoorist Oath came out with a statement in support of Hamas following the horrific terror atrocities of October 7. Maybe that’s what won over National Geographic.
Majority ownership of National Geographic is unsurprisingly held by Disney, which is evil.
But by all means subscribe to National Geographic and buy from North Face if you want this to be American culture:

 Disney Fires Remaining Staffers at Woke National Geographic by John Nolte.

Today’s edition of “get woke, go broke” covers Disney’s firing of all the remaining staffers at the child-grooming National Geographic.
Oh, what a shame.
(I felt the same as the author. When I was young, National Geographic was a way to see the world and all the fascination of nature and every once in while, some native boobies.)
From the far-left Washington Post, a faltering, fake news site that seems awfully upset about the end of a magazine that promotes grooming and child mutilation…
The cutback — the latest in a series under owner Walt Disney Co. — involves some 19 editorial staffers in all, who were notified in April that these terminations were coming. Article assignments will henceforth be contracted out to freelancers or pieced together by editors. The cuts also eliminated the magazine’s small audio department.
The layoffs were the second over the past nine months, and the fourth since a series of ownership changes began in 2015. In September, Disney removed six top editors in an extraordinary reorganization of the magazine’s editorial operations.
Here’s my favorite part:
Among those who lost their jobs in the latest layoff was Debra Adams Simmons, who only last September was promoted to vice president of diversity, equity and inclusion at National Geographic Media, the entity that oversees the magazine and website.
There’s nothing like the news of a newly-unemployed DEI fascist to make my heart sing.
National Geographic will continue to publish monthly, but the writing is on the wall, and this left-wing rag that long ago betrayed its customers by becoming a propaganda outlet for the Democrat party is undoubtedly on its last legs.
And, naturally, National Geographic relentlessly pushed the Climate Change hoax.
Back in the early 80s, when I was a teenager who spent his summers living and working on my grandparent’s dairy farm, other than work there wasn’t much to do. The only TV channel available was PBS. We were miles from anything resembling even a gas station, and I had no car. There was, though, a bookshelf lined with National Geographic magazines. What a treat it was to lose yourself in a tour of our exotic and endlessly fascinating world.
The photos, the prose, the in-depth study… From that little farm in Milton, Wisconsin, I traveled the world. That was the appeal of National Geographic. Sure, even back then the magazine published articles about the rain forest, air pollution, and stuff like that, but this was a rarity. Mostly it was about taking the reader all over the world to meet all kinds of different people.
What happened to National Geographic was a real shame.
In the best way, it was once a publication that taught us tolerance and empathy for those different from us through our shared humanity. By familiarizing us with different places and people, we came to feel as though we knew them and all the human qualities we had in common. There was no preaching, no lecturing, no scolding… It was all in the subtext.
Whether it was some primitive tribe on some previously unexplored island or the Amish or the population of Antarctica, you felt a connection and with this connection a desire to let people be. That was the magazine that once attracted 12 million subscribers and enthralled a 14-year-old farm hand. That was a magazine about unity, about bringing us together in our shared world.
That’s all gone now. Now it’s ‘DEI’ and ‘Climate Change’ and ‘Pride’ filth … Divisive, smug, off-putting, agenda-driven, and worst of all, anti-progress.
