    Having a Pride month doesn't really bother me. What does is all of
    the
    virtue signaling from apparently non-LGBTQ+ persons that accompanies it. It is almost like they are tying to make it about them rather than the people that the occassion is designated for?

    So, you mean people like Poindexter and NuSkooler, right?
    I agree again.

    Not really. Their reactions are pretty tame compared to what I am thinking of. The ones I am thinking of are more like "acknowledge this (and notice me in the process) or else!" and might declare you phobic
    if you don't acknowledge them specifically, or of you react oddly to
    their constant messaging, even though they are apparently not LGBTQ+.

    Ahhh OK, I understand now; was thinking you meant something else.

    If I drew a diagram of the people who act like this, and the
    mostly-women I mentioned previously who overshare about their sex lives
    on social media, the two circles would have a large overlap area. I
    don't think either of the circles would include any BBSers I am
    familiar with. ;)

    Gotcha, thanks.
