Louisiana farmer facing economic hit after social media post touted his Catholic faith, called out Pride month

A Louisiana farm is facing devastating backlash for its pro-faith social media post.

Owner of the Backwater Foei Gras farmstead, Ross McKnight, has lost two-thirds of his restaurant business after he made an Instagram post commemorating the Catholic celebration of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, leaving his “tiny” family-owned farm under intense economic pressure. 

In the post, he referred to the “attempted coup of the month,” referring to Pride Month. He then suggested “some antidotes to a false pride.”
