u They don't get a month from me.
There is no government agency or regulatory body in charge of setting National Doughnut Day. It is just something that different groups do to try to draw attention to themselves. Apparent;y, someone in the lesbian or homosexual activism machine decided to proclaim National Alphabet (LGBTQ) Month, but the rest of us are free to ignore them.
At present, the left is concentrating on identity politics and trying to place enough minorities to cobble together a majority of the vote. It is just shameless pandering.
I see that happening too.
Well I think I can answer this question with this question. Why is this question being asked? Is it some movement to garner more attention for veteran's day and for our country's veterans and get them a full month? Or is it some weak attack at LGBT to move "time, money, and energy" that you probably don't spend on it yourself anyways away from LGBT. Because you could have both, like we could have a veteran's month, but that's not the goal here. You're not trying to do anything for veteran's here, it's more a weak 'guise, I'd be willing to bet you don't care so much about our veterans at all. You just want to attack the LGBT movement. It's not even a criticism of LGBT because the problem here lies in that veterans aren't getting the time, money, and energy they deserve, which really has nothing to do with the LGBT whatsoever.
To answer the question directly, why does LGBT get a month? Because of people attacking the movement/LGBT like this question seeks out to do.
Why do veteran's get a day? No one is ACTUALLY dedicating time, money, or energy to actually get veterans the respect they deserve.
If you really had any interest in doing anything for veterans, I think you would start by talking about veterans that often come home and end up being homeless and/or disabled afterwards. I don't recall much about that talking point, but as I last recall, that's still a rough outline of an ongoing problem in the U. S. But that's not the thing you want to discuss here, you want to whine why LGBT get a month like a 4 year old when someone plays with the toy they weren't playing with in the first place.
Wrong.
You kinda need more than just a "Wrong" to refute that. Lmao. I think that kinda proved everything right.
No idea but I just wish there were more recognition for veterans especially when most of them are living lives with mental issues that people simply don’t care to pay attention to and the physical issues that they might have too. My stepfather committed suicide in February a couple days after he found out his body was shutting down and he had a hole in his brain... all of that because of the shit he went through in his 3 tours. But the thing is nobody ever took his shit seriously. Not even his white as shit rich family. His aunt basically flaunted the fact he had PTSD... and his cousin and brother would go get him drunk and shit knowing that he had a drinking problem. Veterans need to be recognized so when they come home they get what they need and people know how to take care of them. It’s like once veterans come home, they’re aliens or something and become nothing but a memory.
because they wanna shove it down our throats, most people already are fine with LGBT and stuff and don't mind it, but they can't stop at that and want even more attention for who knows why, and they'd rather focus on non-vital issues because I think it's an escape from reality for them.
I get where you're coming from though, I feel that teachers and other civil workers need much more respect and resources. Most people don't really care about veterans as much unless they know one or someone in the service, and we usually stick together. I personally don't need a month of celebration I'm not that shallow. VA takes care of vets depending where you're located lol, I got lucky at least.

Because leftists are using identity politics to try to gain control of the country and to further highlight differences they make a big deal of months. eg black history month, women's history month, etc. While veteran's day is a legitimate holiday celebrating those who made or make sacrifices.
Why do Veterans get a TWO legal holidays, one to commemorate their service and another to remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice fighting for their country and LGBT don't get any legal holidays?
Why do Potato Chips get a National Potato Chip Day on March 14th, if Veterans only get Veterans Day in October. Same question about National Receptionist Day in May and National Video Games Day in September and I won't even get into Star Wars Day on May 4th.
See, you're not the only one who can ask idiotic false equivalency questions.
Your point?
You know my point.
I understand your overarching point which is a stupid one. What was the point of the cdc link?
LGBT behavior is horribly unhealthy.
Maybe it's horribly unhealthy because as a group they are much more subject to violence, discrimination, bullying, lack of acceptance and intolerance than straight people. Maybe the best way to make it healthier is to teach straight people who bully them and commit acts of violence against them and condemn them as God hating freaks and sinners who are mentally ill and should be punished to be more accepting, tolerant, open, supportive and understanding of someone else's life choices that don't affect their own lives in the least. After all, love is love, right?
Ever look at it that way?
I'm familiar with that view, yes. I disagree completely.
No one should be bullied, but that doesn't mean we should promote something else unhealthy.
No one is asking you to promote it, just to tolerate, accept and let them live their life in peace the same way you'd want to be left to live yours. If you think that's too much to ask, it doesn't say much for you as a human being.
So, here's the thing: I've been asking myself that question ever since I discovered that June is considered lgbtq+ pride month. So I typed the question into my browser to see what I could find out. Well, I discovered that, while Veterans do seem to have one or two days dedicated to them, May is considered National Military Appreciation Month. The sad part about my story is that I found out about lgbtq+ pride month because both of the calendars on my phone show this to be the case. However, I had to find out about NMAM from some obscure Reddit posting from a year ago.
So I think the question now becomes "Why does lgbtq+ pride month get more press, so to speak, than National Military Appreciation Month?" After all, I bet that very few, if any, who read this one that May was National Military Appreciation Month.
LGBT stuff is being promoted is it? Or is it simply there to remind us that those people deserve as much acceptance as everyone else, considering how they’ve been treated over the years!
Comparing that with Veterans Day is bullshit. It’s a completely different thing.
Are u ok? The military have a whole month called national military appreciation month (NMAM) which is celebrated every May, they also have Memorial Day And other many other one day holidays for veterans to celebrate them and certain branches of the military. But you obviously don’t care about veterans other wise you would have known that.
Obviously you don't know the difference between veterans and military, and how many of the world's biggest influencers are heavily promoting NMAM the way they are LGBT?
Then why don’t you promote it? If you don’t like it, do something about it
You know nothing about me and what I promote and how. For all you know, I'm a huge supporter of veteran causes, and in fact, I am.
Well then make a post supporting veterans instead of just shitting on the lgbtq all the time
This is a post supporting veterans, and don't tell me what to post. I don't tell you what to post.
No it’s about supporting veterans it’s about the lgbtq, your literally disrespecting them with this post, it’s unbelievable.
What's unbelievable is watching people promote LGBT behavior. LGBT behavior is unhealthy in every way.
Just proved my point, you couldn’t give a shit about the military your just using it to promote your homophobic ideals 🙄
Wrong.
Because for most of history veterans have been widely respected and appreciated while the LGBT+ community has been shit on, imprisoned, murdered, and raped.
You're right. And there are veterens who suffer from PTSD and poverty. I'm assuming because the squeaky wheel gets greased and veterans tend not to complain bc they were trained to strive in harsh conditions
Because the entire LGBT thing has been co-opted years ago and is now just a political tool by the radical left and it's useful idiots.
Higher suicide rate. Plus no one gets the month off.
What is the veteran homelessness rate and suicide rate?
High enough to be a cause for concern, for sure. But not because they are veterans - because they are people. I'm a veteran and I can tell you with some certainty there is nothing valorous or special about it. Its just a job with crappy hours. The right only tries to make it seem special to borrow the valor of soldiers and apply it to their shady political agendas.
The veterans I know would not say that it's "just a job with crappy hours", but thank you for your service nevertheless.
Maybe because joining the military is a choice and being lgbt not?
Maybe because veterans were always "respected and celebrated" and lgbt not?
i mean society as a whole don't really do much. It's not like the government is pumping money into pride parades. If you really feel like no one is thinking about veterans then go out and do something instead of complaining when someone feels more passionate about something that you dont like
Man here you go again. Seems like something about LGBT awareness or tolerance gets your panties in a bind, and gets you triggered.
You know what they say, ..."Those who spend an inordinate time dwelling on such things are the ones who have personal 'close to home' issues that they need to work out"
It's not awareness or tolerance of LGBT. It's the widespread promotion of something terribly unhealthy that bothers me.
I understand clearly it 'bothers' you - that was my whole point. The better question (or root of it all) is WHY? I'm more interested in why you continue to beat a dead horse asking rhetorical questions?
What exactly are you trying to get out of this effort?
Nobody is 'promoting' anything. Your opinion (and a very subjective one at that) is basically only "it's unhealthy" -- but what is "it" anyway? -- The fact that they exist in the first place? -- I wish you would make room for the possibility that you're wrong, or looking at it through some kind of skewed bent. There's nothing 'unhealthy' about people being themselves, being who they are, and as such I would aggressively refute that claim and say that it's in fact the opposite, and quite healthy. (and I think most would agree). Your vantage point on this 'topic' is from some isolated, outmoded, weird outlying standpoint with not much company sharing your view (s).
You have been deceived by the lie that LGBT is an identity. It's not. It's unhealthy sexual behavior.
They hardly even get a day now since ignorant lefties who've lived easy cushioned lives wine about not being paid for being lazy while people go through absolute hell and put their lives on the line to protect them.
they served the country as their dutty some are heroes others did terrible things instead of helping so either way they should have some credit (the good ones) but the government doesn't care at all never did. they werent discriminated nor killed for being who they are like lgbt if people werent like bothering for who you are" the pride month never existed" everything would be ok but meh people mind others business sad Tho.
veterans do not adhere to militant far left agenda seeking to destroy society.
Veterans get multiple days. And LGBT month is about getting people to accept them. Most people accept veterans.
May is Military apreciation day in the US. Pride month exists as a rememberance to the personal battles members of the LGBTQ+ (to which I am a member) had to fight to get equality, and the on going struggle for rights in other countries.
LGBT behavior is horribly unhealthy.
What makes you think that?
Science.
One day is enough for me. I didn’t serve for recognition. I’ve been out of the Marine Corps for nine years. I feel uncomfortable at times when I get thanked for my service.
Because liberals think the world revolves around them
Maybe it's because LGBT don't get paid for being who they are. But still I'm neutral about the pride month. I'm only against transgenderism.
Simple it is unwise to have a part of your army of at ceremonies for any longer than needed
stop answering people
she left
good riddance
she was a fucking retard
Yeah that's kinda unfair
LGBT deserves a month, if not more. Veterans are just people who decided to join the military to hurt innocent people.
What has LGBT behavior done to help and protect society that it should be celebrated?
Are those innocent people you speak of the terrorists who do unspeakable things to actually innocent people in countries with either no government at all or one that refuses to protect them? You wouldn't last a minute in Afghanistan physically or mentally, so keep your mouth shut about our veterans and show them the respect they deserve for protecting the lives of innocent people over there and over here by standing in the line of fire from those terrorist groups.
Possibly gays have more to celebrate?
LGBT behavior is horribly unhealthy.
What would you do if your son showed signs of being gay at 12?
To be fair, I neither need nor want a month.
I dont understand the question
SJW?
Great point
