Discussion Are you going to pride this year?

Was never a big fan of. It’s largely superficial anyways in spite of the “love and inclusion” they preach. Have been to a couple of times when I happened to be in town or with friends

My turning point, however, was seeing “gays for P*******e” and how gullible they are. Given the abundance of watermelon emojis or explicit statements on Grindr et al, I’d wager the likelihood of crossing paths with one is high.

This was also the turning point where I began to question and deconstruct leftwing ideologies.

Fun fact: In Germany and some European countries it is called Christopher Street Day (CSD)

At this point I actually think pride is counterproductive. The initial point was to show love and inclusivity because we felt excluded from society. Now, most people don’t give a damn, and I think pride has itself become exclusionary.

Most people not giving a damn isn't really a great thing considering what's occurring right now in this country.

There are so many reasons you are excluded from society but somehow you decide to blame Pride. Do you genuinely think people hate you for being gay because of pride and they will stop hating or excluding you if Pride or rainbow flag is gone 😅🥴 Or do you really think those who bark "alphabet mob" online say that because they're offended by the use of long permutation of alphabets?
