The whole pride month thing nowadays can be summed up in one word: Redundant.

As far as anyone's concerned, the LGBT movement already "won" in the West. It's completely legal, corporations fully endorse it everywhere you turn regardless of the time of year (though let's be honest they only do this now because it's legal to endorse and profitable to do so) and acceptence is overall generally universal. The only people still opposed to it around such places are both small in number and too stubborn to change so shoving it in everyone's faces does nothing but annoy even the people who are already "on the team" as it were. Hell I already see LGBT discussion everywhere on the internet every goddamn day so to have an entire month dedicated to it is utterly superfluous at best.

And for the argument of "But it's still not legal/safe for other countries", screaming their heads off in their safe spaces elsewhere ain't gonna do jack shit about those issues. All these people talk the talk but they sure as hell ain't gonna walk the walk and actually go to those countries where they're still tossing gays off buildings because none of them have a single vertebrae of a backbone to actually do something brave and meaningful regarding the matter.
 
Only mention I've seen of it this year around was whether it's okay to fuck in leather strapped outfits in front of children or not.

And then 50 posts trying to figure out if the original tweet was sarcastic, and I shit you not, half the replies said "obviously, look at the commas and double periods". Not the fact that it's absurd to fuck in public to celebrate and hope people will accept you.

I get the inkling that the LGBT community or at least the individuals that represent them would agree with this tweet.

I gather from this tweet that they expect others to be an ally but also be subservient which is horrendous IMO.

Wow, that tweet is pretty bigoted. "Hey, Fuck You furries, otherkins, aces, demis, and fucking nonces, this is for the REAL marginalized people, posers."

How do you get your own month? How hard do you have to work to get one? There are only 12 months, so what if months over lap? What if fucking nonces get stuck with February? Will black people be mad? I've never even heard of a fucking nonce, so wouldn't that make fucking nonces more marginalized than black people?

Also, I wanted to add, my job placed a sign-up list for people who wanted pride shirts. I work at a nation wide retail place, but still a small staff, so of course the store is going to virtue signal because companies have to be woke, but it feels weird being one of the few people that work at my store that did not put my name down for a literally gay shirt. I lean more libertarian, so I don't care if gays be gay, I'm just not going to be a billboard for it. So yeah, when national corporations are participating in your movement for equality, you've won. When you have to actively search out a family owned Christian baker and make unnecessary demands to perpetuate a narrative, you make yourself look bad.

Much like every parade they should have theirs in fields or on a large race track, just get the fuck off of the city roads and quit slowing everything the fuck down to show everyone how much dick you can suck. It seems really awkward to encourage these things as big family events when the premise is sex and it generally devolves into huge groups of people in fetish gear with balloon dicks. Its the point, but its just too much vanity for me.

Edit: And thats just the parades, why don't we celebrate firefighters or doctors monthly? They are actively doing things other than being themselves. Hell, people who work with garbage or with septic systems could deserve that since they are constantly shit on by virtue of being in those industries.

Nonce is british slang for pedophile.
 
In the past we had military parades to remind everyone who is in power. Now we have gay pride parades. Draw your own conclusions about who is in power.

They are not superfluous because people have to be reminded.
 
The only thing I hate about Pride months is sociopathic corporations pretending like they actually give a fuck. They don't. If fag bashing would make them more money than not fag bashing, we'd see corporations sponsoring the Westboro Baptist Church.

Otherwise, its like Black History Month. Whatever. I don't care. I don't believe that 95% of people are special or unique, so if people want to play pretend that they are, fine. You want to say you're better than the whites, the straights, the Asians, fine. The corporations are the ones that get on my nerves because you know its all bullshit, yet they pretend they care.
 
As a clear non-homosexual who jacks it to anime traps; I can say without a doubt that this pride stuff is just an excuse for people to be obnoxious and do disgusting shit in public. It's pointless, but people keep it going because money and aforementioned immunity to consequences. It's counter-intuitive actually, because all these pride parades end up doing is giving countries that actually dislike gays ammo to say "hey men who fuck men/women who fuck women are exhibitionists who show their genitalia to children while kissing them on the lips and tonguing them". And you can't say that's not true, because many a picture and many a video have been taken of that exact behavior, with either some or all of those factored in.

take comfort in how this has fucked them (har har har) outside of the Western world. Particularly in Russia. Had they not had sex crazed faggots openly grinding each other in minimal amounts of BDSM gear in front of any camera available, I wonder what the LGBT movement in Russia would have looked like.

Pretty much the same, because Russian society is highly influenced by prison inmate mentality and Russian criminal culture. Russian convicts and bandits really don't hold gay people in high regard, and they never did.

Because of that deep level of resentment, I think any attempt at enacting legal protections for LGBT people in Russia, even without the existence of "queer culture", would be similar to desegregation in the American South - it would meet widespread, often violent, popular resistance from many Russians, and enforcing laws in many regions would require sending in the military to quell public unrest, like the famous desegregation of schools in Little Rock, AR enforced by the 101st Airborne. Prejudice against gay people would linger for many decades afterwards, barely contained by any hate speech laws.

Pride Month is absolutely overkill. No one gives a shit if you enjoy sucking dick, it's like being proud of preferring coffee over tea.
And then there's all the other problems I have with the movement in its current state, but they've already been outlined by everyone else ITT

I'm definitely no expert on Russian culture, so thanks for clarifying. I guess the point i was going for was that perhaps they could have made a far better attempt at political/societal acceptance and done so very gradually WITHOUT Pride acting the way it does.
