Of all the games one would expect to go woke, “Call of Duty” would likely be last on the list. But the long-running shooter series now serves LGBT masters.
The firestorm began when Activision Blizzard, the company behind the “Call of Duty” games, demonstrated its far-left loyalty in a series of tweets released in early June.
The gaming giant gleefully crowed about how it aimed “to foster an inclusive, supportive, and judgment-free environment,” and how it was “excited to be a part of the Los Angeles Pride Parade on June 11th.”
Join us in celebrating the power of #Pride 🌈
Activision is excited to be a part of the Los Angeles, Pride Parade on June 11th.
If you see our float during the parade route, be sure to say hello and share your own stories of pride and acceptance. See you there! 🏳️🌈 pic.twitter.com/uqozALIE9H

Activision’s push for pride plays against a series of nationwide parental protests seeking to remove pornographic LGBT content from schools, something picked up on by hugely popular “Call of Duty” streamer Nick “Nickmercs” Kolcheff.
In a tweet responding to footage of parents engaging with pro-transgender activists outside a school in Glendale, California, Nickmercs wrote, “They should leave little children alone. That’s the real issue.”
This happened 4 blocks from my Overwatch League apartment.
Americans are in a sad place right now.
Let people love who they love and live your own life. https://t.co/iflQJ1xmgC
