    Happy pride from this corner of the world as well.

    Note: I peeked at responses, and you already have at least one biggoted response already... that didn't take long!

    No biggoted, just tired of all the stupid ass fake holiday's. Mean while we don't celebrate the people that died for this country for more than a day, but we celebrate people who dress up like cats and piss in a box outside as normal for a month? Yeah ... NO.

    You tell me, your country only celebrates veterans one day a year, but has given an entire month to the most emotionally unstable and fragile group of people who originally in the 80's were about "What goes on in our bedroom is nobodys business"... but are now "You MUST accept what we do in the bedroom or you will be cancelled"

    I am a right winged homosexual, but there is a reason why there is Alphabet peoples month. Many people were harassed and even violence was committed on them because of who they are. It would of been nice just to be who you are and not having to worry about society persecuting you when you are younger.

It would of been nice just to be who you are not having to worry about society persecuting you when you are younger.

    Many ethnic or minority groups of people experienced violence because of who they were, yet for the most part we do not have entire months for such history lessons. For some reason a big deal is made about this particular group.

    I politely question and challenge the narrative that I must take a month to be reminded of the violence and struggles of a group that, in the 80's, did NOT want to be celebrated but just wanted to fit-in, that what goes on in their bedrooms was nobodys business. That was fair and logical, but as of today, has morphed into something which MUST be accepted by a straight person "or else".

    They are one of the most protected class of citizens in 2026 bar none thanks to the media and Internet... Seems to me that we don't need to be reminded, that their movement achieved what it set out to do, long ago.

    We have different definitions for what counts as "bigotry".

    For instance:

    than a day, but we celebrate people who dress up like cats and piss in a box outside as normal for a month? Yeah ... NO.

    You make up something that doesn't happen, that isn't the thing actually being celebrated, and entirely diminish that the month is about, oh, a guy kissing his guy, in a completely normal way, but in public the same way a guy would kiss his gal.

    It's pride at still being alive, still standing, still living an authentic life, despite a group of people going out of their way to be awful about it.

    Like you.

    while we don't celebrate the people that died for this country for more than a day

    Meanwhile, trans people got kicked out of the military because somehow their service to the country was unwanted, even though they were ready and willing to serve.

    (And, yes, I know this conversation is political, but LGBT people should be able to talk about their daily life, here. Including celebrating Pride. Much like people should be able to talk about their daily life, including celebrating Easter, or Passover, or whatever. There was no political point to it until you decided to poo over someone celebrating something you don't.)

    Having the government in the 1980s pretty much say out loud that
    HIV/AIDS wasn't a big deal because it only affected gays should be
    recognized as well.

    I know gay men my age. One of them commented walking around in the

    Yes, because they have mental issues. If you are a man and want to be a woman, you have an issue. If you are a woman that wants to be a man, you have an issue. You deal with what you are dealt.

    First, sorry Mike Powell if I am replying / quoting the wrong post as I am just getting a hang of this thing.

    Second, based on random Google searches, it looks like current and former military members are a smaller minority U.S. than most other groups.

    Third, as a Veteran, I dislike holidays that try to honor us. If one wants to discuss focing values on others, I feel forced to respond kindly to "Thank you for your service," to maintain societal norms when the truthful response would be "I didn't do it for you."
