Paul Ellis has seen a lot of gay pride parades. He marched in Pittsburgh’s first one in 1973 with just 40 other people, flanked on either side by angry residents holding glass bottles and rocks with only two unhappy police officers for protection.
Ellis, manager at Cliff’s Variety Store in the historic Castro district, is part of the generation of LGBTQ activists who fought for basic rights, to get jobs and to avoid arrest. So when he most recently attended the San Francisco Pride Parade with his partner, he was shocked by what he saw.
“I stopped and said (to my partner), ‘Do you see any gay people around us?’ And it was like, ‘Oh my God, no,’” he said.
They had run into a cultural shift breathtaking in its speed and still something of a disconnect to many in the gay community. In many large cities, gay pride marches have become the new St. Patrick’s Day, only with rainbow tutus instead of shamrocks.
The parades in honor of Ireland’s patron saint began as religious celebrations and in the United States date back to the 1700s. They eventually morphed into statements of Irish pride and solidarity, but have now become an excuse for many to wear green and drink Guinness stout.
When it comes to LGBTQ pride marches, that same shift has happened in less than 50 years. Today, the streets along the parade route throng with groups of people in their teens and 20s, dancing and partying while sporting rainbow-colored wigs, sunglasses and feather boas, along with the ever-present tutus.
Ellis says he doesn’t have a problem with non-LGBTQ people going to the Pride parade, but he thinks they should be focused on supporting the gay community.
“This is not their party,” Ellis said. “They are attending someone else’s party. … It just felt disrespectful.”
Straight people showing up to gay pride parades is nothing new. But the growing phenomenon of straight young adults attending just to party, sometimes in large numbers, has burgeoned in recent years. University of California-Berkeley gender and women’s studies professor Paola Bacchetta sees it as a kind of co-opting of the underlying political necessity of the marches.
“It’s not in the interest of most (LGBTQ) people of color to be in this kind of celebratory type of gay pride that has absolutely no political vision,” she said.
Groups joining pride events from outside the gay community have, at times, been a point of tension and debate within the gay and lesbian community, especially as the number of corporate sponsors joining the parades grows each year.
The first gay pride parades began in 1970 to commemorate the 1969 Stonewall riots in New York. Back then, they were called ‘Gay Liberation’ marches and were both controversial and radical.
In the 1980s, gay pride’s protest culture began to evolve. “Gay Liberation” marches became “Gay Pride” parades, and the events became more mainstream.
In the 1990s and 2000s, the LGBTQ movement began to grow, slowly winning legal victories. Pride celebrations swelled into huge affairs in many major cities globally. Last year in San Francisco more than one million people took part, while in New York attendance numbered more than 40,000.
Those wins are, in fact, one of the reasons behind the influx of straight partygoers. For many young people now, being gay is cool, not condemned.
This progress of acceptance has become something of a double-edged sword. On the one hand, say some, previous generations of LGBTQ activists fought for this acceptance, for a world in which being gay or lesbian was a non-issue.
On the other hand, this acceptance could fall into complacency, dulling the importance of the movement given the ongoing issues still facing the community and cloaking the history of resistance that helped achieve that acceptance in the first place.
Andrew Jolivette, a San Francisco native and American Indian studies professor at San Francisco State University, actually has a name for what he views as the commercialization of gay culture — he calls it “Gay Inc.” He says he has stopped going to pride parades, upset by what he sees as the false perception that the LGTBQ community has made enough progress to stop resisting.
Going to gay pride, he said, has become just a “cool thing” to attend rather than a place to uplift marginalized voices and to acknowledge the community’s ongoing struggle to achieve progress. Like St. Patrick’s Day or Cinco de Mayo, he believes Pride has been taken over by people who want an excuse to drink and party, displacing the LGBTQ community from a festival meant to celebrate them.
“These young people are not concerned about the issues that continue to impact the (LGBTQ) community that much,” Jolivette said. “What they want is the freedom without the struggle.”
Not everyone believes that this phenomenon is a problem. Greg Pennington, curator for the GLBT Historical Society in San Francisco, has resigned himself to the fact that younger generations will never know the trials older LGBTQ members had to go through just to get to where they are today — and that they may not feel the need to take gay pride as seriously politically as the community once did.
He, personally, is happy to see more straight people showing up at pride events, even if they’re only there to have a good time.
It’s just part of progress, he says, and it’s what older LGBTQ activists were fighting for.
“For some of us, we feel like we’re losing that specialness that we have as gay people,” Pennington said. “That specialness was a defense. We created that sense of specialness among ourselves, and that is the price of progress, losing that sense of specialness.”
Don’t Miss: Globohomo Rainbow Mafia Is Forcing The U.S. National Soccer Teams To Wear Gay Pride Jerseys
At Toronto Gay Pride they let nude men and Stacys indecently display their private genitalia to young children, but if a homo or Stacy complains that you’re a Christian male or misogynist, the Toronto Police actually has to arrest that person for offending the homos, lesbians and femzoids.
@God ………..,
First:
For the same GOD sake, do NOT use long names! You could have comfortably including the lengthy “suffix” in the comment & in bold!
Second:
There are no “public” genitals! either “privates” or genitals.
(my apologies, I know it happens when we type the comments with emotion, but didn’t want to give chance for “trolls” to make it a issue)
Third:
So you mean any non-christian (and I am adding this for you!) & non-white MALE can go “scot” free !! Come on Bro, you might be day dreaming!
Shut Up You Street Shitter.
Shut the fuck up, pussified a%s fucker !!
I am a bit behind on slang. What is a “Stacy”?
If you want to see a vision for the future, just imagine a refugee’s boot stomping on a faggot’s face forever.
WRONG! Where I live refugees wear thong slippers hahahaha
I would like to see that
Homos and feminists in the American & Canadian school boards indoctrinate the children of the refugees to become homos so that wouldn’t work unless it was a direct import rather than 2nd Generation European, Canadian, American, or Ozzies.
If these “refugees” are Muslim, they will literally fight back, and have a chance at victory as they too are a “protected class”.
It looks so bad right now, just wait 10 years down the road when 70% of Generation Z is raised by Mommy and is entering their teens and early 20’s.
But to sit back and think what if…it truly is a dark place to think about. Even if you had 3 terms of Trump or better then him, it would take a good generation or more to effectively reverse all the Marxist ideology and PC/Diversity BS jammed down Americans throats since the middle-late 1990’s and ramped up ubiquitously after 2005 and then again after 2012.
I can easily see a Soylent Green/Surrogates type world. Extremely overcrowded (450-500 million in the US alone), apartment rentals and housing prices only affordable to the well connected and rich or sharing a 1-2 bedroom flat with 7-10 other other strangers that will probably steal your shit or rape your wife. People sleeping in their cars, on the street, in tent cities (that will be taken down by the local police), in hay barns.
Because of the GMO laced soy and hatred towards straight men, I could see straight guys forced into homosexual relationships or situations just so they can fit in and be accepted as gays and lesbians become the majority. And don’t think all these gays will be skinny jeaned, emaciated little punks…There will be plenty of them, 6’4, Arnold Schwarzenegger size arms with their whole bodies tattooed. What you see now in 2018 is just a taste of the huge crap burger coming to a neighborhood near you.
Most people (55%) will look Arabic, Samoan or Hispanic in a decade in the US and obesity will be through the roof. It will look like one BIG FAT CHIMICHANGA/FALAFEL ON STEROIDS!!
And good God, I hope and pray that I’m wrong! To give the next generation of Americans (Generation Z) a fighting chance to have all the things (freedom and opportunity) we once took for granted.
Gay people are self-absorbed even as a group?
Ya don’t say!!!!!
It’s hard to maintain the fantasy lie of oppression and ‘homophobia’ when it is so obviously accepted by the mainstream, politically and by corporate interests.
Its like these creatures self worth depend on being a special pampered snowflake. The reality is they are just a hedonistic psychologically damaged clown people.
Yeah, straight people should stop coming to their events. Let the faggots show the whole world how tiny their community really is and let them destroy their selves. That’s all they really do anyway since they are never satisfied.
Yep, they are 3.5% of the population, but the media, (movies, shows, and even videogames* and their fan-clubs), would have you think they make up 25-40% of the population, at the least.
*I believe that’s the main reason why Mass Effect: Andromeda was a failure.
They want everyone to be like them or it will be illegal to be straight in the future.
just look at the gayest country so far……
Burn the witches!
Amen!
Is it me or anybody else find this amusing! I have got “more” down votes than @WR. As usual, I don’t care, but one thing is for sure. They are “few” guys (not even sure guys or pussies !!) here who are “but hurt” with my honest & straightforward opinions & comments + my race/religion/color/etc. !!
Sorry those “few”; you can never deter me, however you try or whatever games you play !! Good luck!
Burn it with fire before it lays eggs!
well, homosexuals are only 2% of the population if it´s not for straight people, their parades would be much smaller and boring. it´s like a freak show, normals go to see the circus freaks and to party because is cool to be pro GLBT.
Demographic surveys put the figure closer to 4%, or about 16 million Americans.
Stat pulled from Wikipedia lands on 3.7%: In the first large-scale government survey measuring Americans’ sexual orientation, the NHIS reported in July 2014 that at least 3 percent of Americans identify as gay or lesbian, and 0.7 percent identify as bisexual.
Homos in 0218 are a proud people…proud to openly, publicly celebrate their butthole pleasures and shit-stained balls. As they attempt to integrate themselves into society (focusing squarely on the impressionable minds of little children), they’re also indoctrinating themselves into a shared state of cognitive dissonance and blame-shifting. “Equality” under the law was not enough…they now want to infiltrate all hetero-normative environments and disrupt traditional life. They’re more than an idle nuisance; they’re in the schools, reading books about gender confusion to your kids.
“2018” ^^^
a well-known nightclub in berlin don’t let many straight people going to their parties so they show them the door. imagine the reverse situation
“We want equality and to be treated like anybody else”
Congratulations, you’re just like everybody else now! Now you have equality, both the good AND bad, same with the feminists.
You get to enjoy the same quote now
“Listen up maggots! You are not special! You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake! You are the same decaying organic matter as everything else! We are the all singing, all dancing crap of the world! We are all part of the same compost keep.” – Fight Club
We need to bring 1940 year back.
1912. The year before tbe income tax.
#End The Fed, expels the Juice and God, please send down fire and brimstone on every homo parade that occurs in America, Canada, EU, Ozzie and New Zealand. Use your wrath to burn those homos and femihoes in HELL!
God Please Send down fire and brimstone on every homo and sloot parade!
1845 seems nice
Also before the (((Fed)))…
Or make a new law: You have to actually OWE taxes to get a vote. Illegal immigration would be over in a hurry. Let’s flip “No taxation without representation” on its head!
I agree with the fact that now straight people have glommed onto the gay pride thing, and this is one reason I think contributed. The gay people in the early parades marched in everything from leather bikers to chorus line “girls” to men walking other mostly naked men on leashes. In my opinion (just a perspective), every year getting more and more flamboyant and more of a spectacle. I’m not sure exactly how being gay meant what was marching, and at this point I have no respect. Back to my point. Yes, extremely creative, festive, and a party atmosphere was always present. “Gay men throw the best parties” was pretty much a fact that everyone knew. And it was true! More straight people hitched on, partly because it was cool, and partly (oddly enough) to be accepted by these cool gay people.
I am glad that the discrimination has lessened. I believe it’s eye opening for people to understand that they are regular people in a variety of jobs. But I think it’s pretty much time for them to lay down the persecution complex. Thank you for listening.
@What…,
Where were you when pussies walked “bare chested” !! What the hell you are doing when pussies did “slut walkes” !!
What she says = rubbish !!
PS – Yes, I am a woman. I’m not sure I belong here because while I DO believe in traditional gender roles, I’m NOT feminist, and I DO feel that men should be leaders and lead and women should follow with total trust that her man will not lead her into harm, I’m not on board with the racism and the extreme hate exhibited here. Please let me know if this is not an appropriate place to be. Please be kind.
If you’ve been lurking here any length of time, you should know the rule here for chicks:
Tits or GTFO.
Wow. I haven’t been lurking, I’ve been reading some of the articles with interest. Both sharing the same views as well as getting a differing perspective.
If this is the general view, and not just one jerk, then fine. By the way, I haven’t heard that since World of Warcraft (since there were so few girls who play) so, you know, grow up.
Grow up? Spare me. I’ve paid dues in life you never have and never will.
Something about your story here ain’t passing the smell test. You are only getting some upvotes from the fags that have apparently been alerted to this article.
Now admit it… you dig me.
I’m a girl. Why don’t you send me some titty pictures or more. I promise I won’t show those RoK guys here anything. You can trust me because I’m a girl. Don’t be shy now
Tits AND gtfo. But not before u make some nice sammiches for us.
I like bacon, lettuce and tomato
Be gentle Blue Eyes, it’s her first time.
The typical approach of a feminist idiot
1. Claim (falsely) to “be on your side” for a cheap attempt at trying to look credible, then have a “BUT” and try to push their idiot agenda
2. The ubiquitous projection issue where every time a spoiled woman finds a man that disagrees with her, she can NOT persuade or articulate HER point of view. Since she knows deep down that her hamster brain is childish she uses the hollow “grow up” sound bite to (try) to shame the man into changing his mind.
The ‘extreme hate exhibited here’ is nothing compared to the headlines of the MSM. This is men only. Women screw up everything. You want to help? Show it in your community. Respect your man. Stop supporting libtards. Otherwise get lost.
God is going to fucking punish each and every one of you femwhores in America, Canada and the rest of the modern world! Homos, feminists, lesbians and those who molest children under the LGBTQ flag deserve crucifixion and death penalty! If it wasn’t for the blue knights and the Federal Reserve, incels would have already did a body count on every femwhore that rejects them, every femwhore who fucks their pet dog, every homo who molests children and so forth….American women deserve HELLFIRE!
“I am a woman. I’m not sure I belong here …”
So you know where you belong! That’s pretty good! At least 1 female knows where she “belongs” !!
To hell with this comment system! Replied to @what… but posted on to @God…….. !!
Hooray! more down votes means more number of “arrogant, bitchy, shameless, entitled and ungrateful” pussies are “shivering” because of ROK !!
I don’t hate anyone, but I generally avoid white women due to the extreme risk of time wasting, high expense, false accusations and divorce rape. White women just aren’t worth my time, actually they aren’t worth any man’s time, it’s just some men haven’t realized that yet.
It’s perfectly legal in Canada for a Caucasian woman to have sex with her dog, but illegal for a man to complain on her if it offends her feewings. Where is a storm of fire and brimstone to punish those who go against nature?
“Last year in San Francisco more than one million people took part“
I wonder if they had to walk through the feces
alas, certain fetishists are down with that…and supplies have never been more abundant.
I’ve read that feces are a thing with many in the male gay homo community.
@uncle, its also a “thing” with many in the female lesbo homo community !!
They fuck each other through feces so im sure walking through it was easy
They WERE the feces
This year I’m going to the Montreal one with my Pepe shirt. Come at me soyboys.
A lot of gay men emotionally are still like little boys. They want to attract attention by showing off.
Homos at Gay prides also molest little boys. I pray to God that fire and brimstone burns each and every homo, lesbo and femwhore off the face of the earth. God should begin at Tel Aviv for starts.
YOUR PRAYERS CANNOT AND WILL NOT DO SHIT. IT’S THE EFFORT THAT MATTERS.
You don’t pray for things to happen. You make it happen yourself. Unless you don’t have the guts, then of course, pray away….
“Praying” is the religiously correct word for what in other contexts we call “wishing.”
It’s not a coincidence that religious parents teach their children to pray at the same age they tell these kids to make wishes before blowing out the candles on their birthday cakes.
LGBT folks have been beating the drum for the past two decades about how normal and mainstream their lifestyle is. So mainstream, in fact, that legal privileges such as adoption rights and marital rights were bestowed upon them. Now they want it to return to the days of being an underground, alternative lifestyle? Sorry folks, you can’t have it both ways.
FWIW… Years before “gay marriage” was mainstream and legalized, I worked with a gay man who was very wary of the idea of his lifestyle becoming mainstream. He thought the idea of gays and lesbians marrying, adopting children, and committing to each other for a lifetime was a complete joke. He went so far as to call gays who wanted such things posers and phonies.
Personally, I don’t give a shit if people want to be gay, straight, or whatever. But the advocacy groups surrounding this niche lifestyle make it seem like 50% of the population takes part in it, and if you don’t fully endorse every part of the lifestyle, you’re some sort of bigot or hater. It’s growing tiresome. Not everyone is going to like them. Not everyone likes me. But so what? You shrug your shoulders, grow up and move on.
Just like women, fundamentally, to keep ratcheting up the “sensitivity levels” and moving the goal posts. Gays also tend toward that post-modern default thinking that starts with “me, me, ME!”
It started with the LGBT advocates asking for an end to violence against gays. (OK… I agree) Then they asked for tolerance (Whatever… it’s your life). Then they asked for acceptance (I see the pendulum swinging). The next step was legal marriage (Which led me to examine why the government was getting involved in marriage at all…).
And now the latest attempt is to force business and religion to endorse the lifestyle, recently struck down in part by the SCOTUS. On an individual level, it seems to me that this crowd is becoming obsessed with *everyone* liking them and their lifestyle. It seems like an obsession, and I feel bad for them. I’m not saying that prejudice against LGBT doesn’t exist, but most folks are of the live-and-let-live mindset. Even if they don’t approve of the lifestyle, few will even speak out against it.
I compare that to my own life. My point of view on a number of topics was upsetting to more than a few women, single mothers, white knights, traditional conservatives, leftists… they didn’t like me. And they probably don’t like you either. But so what?
They want to be considered normal. Yet as LGBTQ are getting normalized, they get treated as normal. People don’t care about their “unique” sexual orientation anymore. They have lost the thing that once had made them feel special, unique and different. Now they want that back.
To clarify, it’s times like these when we see flimsy “selfishness” posing as “social justice.” Very little work or rational thought is required, which makes it popular.
Homos deserve nothing but DEATH. God sent fire and brimstone on the lands of Sodom and Gomorrah for their PRIDE…GAY PRIDE!
I truly believe that Orthodox Russia will do God’s work by sending a nuclear missile straight into one of those homo parades in San Francisco, NYC, LA, San Diego, Austin, Toronto, Montreal or Vancouver in Canada.
Homos, lesbians, femwhores and the WHORE OF BABYLON will face God’s wrath for their SODOMY, CHILD MOLESTATION, SEXUAL DEVIANCE, ANIMAL FUCKING, BLASPHEMY AND DISOBEYING THE LORD.
God, please press the Red Button and end those homos!
You are perfect example of what is wrong with christianity.
Douchebags like you are why christianity is a dying religion, that no one with two functioning brains cells wants anything to do with anymore.
Christianity is the greatest fraud in human history, and your attitude is proof of this.
You have obviously never read your own scripture, and if you have, you think you are too important to obey it.
There is more about love in the bible than there is about sin.
Pride is on the list of the seven deadly sins, homosexuality is not.
Jesus did not tell you to attack gays, he told you to love thy neighbor as thyself.
Jesus did not tell you to go on a moral crusade, he told you to spread the gospel.
Jesus did not tell you to judge our bother, he told to judge not lest ye be judged, and the he told you the parable of the good Samaritan to show you that everyone is your brother.
Jesus did not complain about the rampant homosexuality in his day, he was too busy about his fathers work to care, MAYBE YOU SHOULD FOLLOW HIS EXAMPLE.
Hypocrite christian taliban assholes like you say that gays molest children, and look the other way and makes excuses when christian ministers do it.
Sometimes I wish the bible was true, I would love to see those like you stand before the judgement seat of christ, and give an account of how your your blind hatred and willful refusal to obey the commandments of your savior drove people away from the gospel.
It would be fun to watch jesus place you over on his left, and say ” I never knew you “.
Unfortunately, you will die and get away with it.
You are the worst possible kind of a person, a religious hypocrite.
To the author News syndicator.
Why the swaztika on the rainbow flag and not a more appropriate hammer and sickle.
To the author News Syndicator.
Why the [email protected] on the rainbow flag and not a more appropriate [email protected] and s1ckle.
Because that fuckin ass holes think tbey are making fun of & disrespecting the Oldest known Religion on this planet !!
They will surely be punished by the Supreme being. But I pray Him to pardon these kind of “intolerant” buffoons !!
When I was in Delhi back in ’05 I saw that symbol all over the place. I have seen it on a co-worker’s wedding announcement. I was told it was a symbol of auspicious beginnings, or something like that.
All over Asia, one from Vietnam earlier this year.
@Auto,
You are 100% right. Swathika is a symbol of auspiciousness and also reflects Lord Ganapathi or Ganesha (referred as “elephant GOD” in the west).
https://www.artofliving.org/wisdom/knowledge-sheets/symbolism-ganesha
But the gays carrying or waving that symbol !? Of course, I will not ask why aren’t they carrying a holy cross!
@john,
All over Hindustan, Asia and wherever !! But I don’t see any gays or lesbos parading in that picture you posted !!
Ravi,
Asian countries don’t have protests, the army tends to shoot them. The survivors get rounded up after and thrown into jail ….. forever.
Its interesting we are all taught (atleast in the west) that the [email protected] is the most evil of all evil symbology. One guess (((why)))
Yet the (((Bolshev1k c0mmunist))) terror one of the most deadliest ideologies inflicted on mankind represented by the [email protected] and s1ckle is buried or washed over in history.
Clearly the [email protected] and s1ckle symbol of tyranny is more befitting this homo revolution of sorts. I mean lets be honest, the same (((people))) were behind it.
@Sas..,
Agreed with what you said. You might have heard of a news (I guess 10 to 12 years back) where a Footwear company in New Zealand (or Switzerland ?) manufactured Slippers with Image of Lord Rama. Anyone with common sense knows that its a “deliberate” act!
They apologized later & withdrew the product. Many deliberate incidents like this happened in all these years. Anyway, at the end of the day, everyone has to face consequences for their deeds/actions.
*** May people of this Planet live in Harmony ***
September is Heterosexual Pride Month. Show your “H”, show your Pride. I have some ideas for T-shirts: “I’m a girl and I have a vagina and I like dick”. “I have a dick and I like vagina.” “Dicks are for chicks”. “Hi, I’m vagina, are you dick?”.
Your “ideas”, as expected from a female, are dumb, indecent, awkward, unsocial and unacceptable !!
Here are some ideas:
“I’m a girl, and I know where I belong”
“I’m MASCULINE, and I’m looking for a feminine”
“I’m a girl, and I should dress up properly”
“I’m a woman, and I must Respect my MAN”
“We are women, and are Grateful to MEN”
Does the slogans sound like “oppression” !? ungrateful creatures !!
Are a female yourself? ‘Cause your ideas are far dumber, more indecent, awkward, unsocial and unacceptable. Not to mention cringey as fuck. Irony.
Welcome to ROK, “ungrateful” creature !!
By the way, ever heard of “Father of GYNECOLOGY”, Mr. James Marion Sims !? You “ungrateful” creature !!
Once again, ask yourself, “Is this fag agenda being pushed on Muslims?”
The answer will lead you to all you need to know.
@Turbo,
I am not a muslim & have nothing against you, but why some people here always try to drag “others” !!
This Country is a christian majority place with caucasians being the majority and NOT a Islamic state!
I am damn sure you observed certain things with (majority of) Asians in general: they will do Professional jobs, Take up Research, Run businesses etc. Mingle well with locals & are normally easy to go. But they will NEVER (well, there are exceptions!) cross their Cultural & Traditional “limits”.
They always strive to maintain their unique identify (families, relations, ethics, practices etc.). So I believe thats the main reason they are not easy to get “brainwashed” !!
Damn the smartphone typos ! I meant to say:
“They always strive to maintain their unique identity …”
These fags truly have lost all sense of humanity or sanity. Equal rights and special recognition were already given but that isn’t enough, they want supremacy over everyone else. Haven’t these faggots done enough damage to society by spreading aids and increasing the rates of pedophilia?
They are never satisfied, bacause their conscience never stops accusing them. No special rights can ever be enough.
And christians have been a protected class with special rights for how many centuries now ?
Thou hypocrite.
“We just want you to accept us as people. We just want you to tolerate us. We just want to you to support us in our pride in ourselves. Now, get the fuck out of our parade.”
LoLz!
I don’t care what fags want.
I couldn’t find the entire speech. It might have been censored. Still, this is a powerful excerpt from that speech. If anyone could find it, please post.
the Nazis burned LGBT propaganda that jews were giving to the German children
I agree. Strait people who not be attending fag pride parades. There only doing it for attention.
My town started having a fag pride parade a few years ago. Thankfully I make sure as far away from the town and anything else gay that weekend.
So those faggots demand, that when they parade their degenary IN PUBLIC (and almost entirely paid by the public, e.g garbage disposale etc.pp.), the sane people should stay away from those very public places, even if they re doing their regular business??? Wtf?!
Sorry, I meant degeneracy
Hi! gay man here, I just read your article and I find it really disgusting how divisive and marginalising the LGBT communities has become.. The same people who complain about feeling isolated and discriminated dare to say bullshit like “I don’t want straight guys here”, or want to lynch and destroy whoever doesn’t agree with surrogacy for exaple.. the homophobia card is becoming a way to have privileges and silencing your “enemies”.. I obviously know we gay people still suffer from discrimination, hate crimes and isolation, but fighting a war against straight people is not the right solution.. exactly as trying to fight a war on men isn’t the right way to advocate for women rights (btw radical feminism has indoctrinated and oppressed the gay community too, guess why it isn’t GLBT but LGBT anymore)? I love straight people to attend gay-prides, especially straight men, I think we have to create an environment which is kind and welcoming to them, and stop bashing them If we want to be accepted! I understad that some gays issues are not so easy to understand for straight people, and when they show interest about that I’m always very happy and thankful, I don’t try to find a way to label them as “homophobic” ASAP, like many other gays and lesbians unfortunately keep doing..
I thought this was a Philosophy page. It’s a place where straight (closeted) men obsess over cock.
That young child, 6 to 8 years of age, should not be there. The adult who brought that child there should be charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor.
That is not right. That person is a criminal.
The homosexuals do not want to be “straight-forward”.
If gays didn’t want straights to attend their degenerate parades, then why did they take the “gay” word out, just calling them “pride” parades instead?
I saw an Instagram post of a gay pride parade in my city and almost went due to the sheer amount of pussy present.
If straights knew more about how queers really lived, and their level of disease, they would not be so tolerant.
