"Hi, it's me, Pattie Gonia, a real-life homosexual," a mustachioed man says in their new ad, as he announces the Summer of Pride tour for The North Face, a subsidiary of the VF Corporation which also owns brands such as Supreme, Vans, and Timberland.
Mr. Gonia opens the ad - in part directed at children - by offering "an invitation to come out..." with a long, suggestive pause, and the words "COME OUT" flashing on screen.
The ad, featured on the North Face's Instagram page, is replete with references to homosexuality, and invites people to join Mr. Gonia on their tour stops: Salt Lake City, UT; Atlanta, GA; Portland, OR; Denver, CO; Columbus, OH; and San Francisco, CA.
"Last year, we gay sashayed across the nation, and celebrated Pride across the nation with hundreds of you," he says, referring to a 2022 partnership with The North Face which saw him garbed in an elaborate dress shaped like an open tent, with a man laying underneath.
"We roar. We heal. We become," the corporation declares, adding: "Mother Nature guides us to where we need to be - and we dress up to honor her." Customers are then invited to pay up to $165 for multicolored shoes, amongst other apparel, including kids clothes.
The news comes after Americans backed a boycott of Bud Light and its affiliated products for its partnership with trans influencer Dylan Mulvaney.

Like water, there are two ways Mother Nature is able to purify it: one way is through transformation, evaporation, and for clean pure water to fall from the sky to give life back to earth... and the other way is for water to go into the rocks, the underground water-table, and then be purified in the dark and pressurised environment of the submerged mineral kingdom... perhaps years later to reappear from the fresh water springs that feed all the rivers on Earth, The same options are available to the Spirit as well.
To be sure, God and Mother Nature will guides those souls to the place where they need to be: hell.
All these brands are owned by holdings, and blackrock is the majority investor in the holdings. They make more money off your confusion, frustration, and anger than they could ever make selling Northface apparel, which isn’t selling because normies don’t have money for fashion apparel in this economy (they get paid via other industries, ie, your reaction to this will be to eat some icecream, buy a bottle of booze, and order something from some other brand… owned by blackrock) . And since at this level of “holdings” the boss reports back to the CIA, he’ll get a little bump tor helping Operation Chaos and it’s win-win as far as “The North Face” is concerned.
That guy did imply (but didn’t say) something important: buy from independent businesses. No way an independent business is gonna push chickswithdicks on you… and this is the most powerful thing you (meaning 99,99% of humanity) can do to hasten the demise of this charade economy.
Appreciate you taking the time to (help) school me/others on business matters as run by giant corporations. It's good to know who/what owns what. I know a little about what Blackrock & Vanguard do and how they are further owned/controlled by each other buying up real estate and businesses, like in Ukraine, for pennies on the ever inflating/deflating dollar.
Nope. In Canada we have Mountain Equipment Coop, or MEC. It is a collective of outdoor enthusiasts who prioritize surviving out of doors rather than a rare mental issue. It's been around so long that even my dear, departed Mother had a membership.
Given that most things in Canada (and Northern U.S.) are done outdoors I can only imagine how bad things will get for North Face up here.
