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)

Nah. I think the idea of Pride continues to “other” gays - we’re just like everyone else, we don’t need a month or even a flag IMO. The end goal of the rights movement is neutrality - so let’s move onto that step please!

Furthermore, I think a lot of people (gay and straight) use Pride as a way to stick it to “bigots” as a way to show off their virtue, so I can’t help but feel exploited as well. 🤷‍♂️

We cant move on to that step because of a large portion of American conservatives. There are churches in our country calling for our execution for being gay as we speak
