Hmm... Our college is using it as a big opportunity for ad revenue and trying to make money from it... it's rather sickening and in fact all the LGBTQ+ people in our college are rather angry about it.
I never even celebrated it, my friends asked me why I don't celebrate it even though I am Bisexual and I said I didn't even know what day it was on, I also have no interest in trying to put my sexual preference on a pedestal, I told him that you don't see straight month, right? So why do I need one for my sexual preference? I don't.
I don't care if others want to enjoy it, but the whole country, outside of my college, has been advertising it EVERYWHERE. It won't stop mentioning it, I don't see a lot of people making a big deal of it, even people I know that are in the LGBTQ+ community and they just don't care, but for some reason it is advertising all over the place. It is possible that they are just not openly enjoying it in public and only celebrating online... otherwise how would we have so many people celebrating this thing.
I know a lot of people will take discomfort to this because MANY people online seem to make a big deal of this event and I'm sorry, I'm not saying you shouldn't enjoy it yourself, I want you to have fun on the event, but I want to also state that I have no interest in it.
What do you mean by homophobia? If people are against it due to their religious beliefs, does that make them homophobes by your definition?
Personally I could care less what people do, if they choose to be gay or lesbian, Bi or polygamist or polyamories or whatever so long as they are all consenting.
What really bugs me about the movements is somehow its a rite of passage to 'come out' as gay or lesbian, they claim they do it to feel normal... yet hetero people don't come out.
I highly respect people who are gay who say it is nobody else's business. They do not need to come out.
As for celebrations, don't see any of those around here.
it went well. But you see I wonder why they are proud to be what they are? I don't care if you are gay, transgender, transvestite, lesbian etc, if you are a good person then I will appreciate you but why claim pride in a few things you didn't choose?
I am proud of myself if I have done something important or if I have succeeded in achieving a goal that I set for myself, for example.
Let everyone lead their life as they want, with respect for everyone.
In Singapore there’s parades, movie screenings, performances, there’s a lot of pink too everybody goes to pink dot where there’s performances and stuff (They do a lot considering how strict and ridiculous LGBT laws are here)
We also celebrate pride month in Japan, it’s not as big as Singapore, but there’s still a parade and everything, there's also parade in Taiwan as well (they recently legalized same-sex marriage too!)
I got it. Are the cops interfering with the celebrations in Singapore?

Well I live in Canada so things are peaceful here. But nobody has really paid attention to it this year because we have a serious problem anyway that's siphoning all of our attention. The ghosts of our past are coming back to torment us in the form of mass graves being found of the bodies of indian children who were abused and murdered by Christian colonizers and the Catholic church years back. It's a long story. It's fucking horrible. If you're interested to know more, just google " Canada, residential schools" and you'll get the whole story.
Oh thanks for the info, I'll take a look.
Sounds about right for where you live. Here were open and fine with it because we don't want to abide by religious laws. We rather abide by do what you want longs if it don't hurt anyone.
That been said since Covid is a thing pretty sure no one is celebrating it cause welp surprising lots of people gathering would be a bad thing lol. Also all news is just Football or something dumb with are Pm.
How can it be right for where I live?
What? Turkey has been a secular country for 84 years. Human rights include LGBT rights.
Any resources for 90%? Even if there is, we cannot say that it is true. Because the religious information part of the identity of every person born in Turkey is written as Muslim. Let's say this is true. We are still a secular country. No, we won't give our rights to religious freaks.
These are true and people are fighting for their rights. What do you not understand?
You say Turkey is an Islamic country. I disagree because it isn't. On the other hand, what I said is true because we have a government that adopts political islam and causes problems. But as you know, governments are not fixed.
Understood. I hope you understand what I'm trying to tell you too.
This sort of response to someone else's sexuality is just complete insanity. WTF is wrong with people? I don't understand why they think it effects them and why they feel they have to do something about it. Let people be who they are, whatever that is.
Except cannibals, fuck those guys.
Unless its the only way you can survive & the person you have to eat died. Sad, but it's happened.
@Dazed0N0Confused Yikes, but yeah. I was just being silly, but if I were stranded somewhere and died and my body could feed other people to keep them alive then I would certainly want them to do it and would think it pretty stupid if they didn't. I understand it's not for everyone though ;)
Who gives a shit who is sleeping with whom? If they aren't hitting on you, it doesn't have anything to do with you. LGBTQIA+ are all people & should be able to live how they want without butthurt cis heteros getting upset because they have to watch a couple who isn't hetero kiss & hold hands. They dont want to see that shit from cis heteros either, so unless you're going to stop all PDA & make it all illegal, even cis hetero shit, fuck off.
I don't give a shit about ''Pride Celebrations'' I don't like that too and it disturbs me however I am not against it, if person is LGBT or not its their issue not mine. As long as they don't mess it up and overreact with it. Baskıcı tutumları bende sevmiyorum fakat buraya gelipte enternasyonal bir alanda ülkemiz hakkında bok atıp konuşmaya gerek yok bence, sana madalya takmayacaklar veya yardım etmeyecekler sen bunu yapınca.. ağlayıp kendi ülkeni suçlamana gerek yoktu bence.
Ağladığım ya da suçladığım yok. Sandığının aksine milliyetçi biriyim. Burada sayısız kişiye ülkemi savundum ama hoşnutsuz olduğum bir konuda da fikrimi belirtebilmeliyim.
I have never seen a man go out on the street and fight with the police for his masculinity or for a woman's femininity. But LGBT demonstrations sound ridiculous. Why are you trying to force people to dictate your sexual identity? Of course, it's only natural that you get a reaction in return. In this case, I cannot blame the police because they are trying to ensure the peace of the country by doing their duty and it is obvious that those who disturb the peace with such demonstrations.
I don´t know much. Because of Covid there aren´t real celebrations. The national soccer supported it during the European championchip and most comments online made fun of it.
I couldn't give a fuck less about those ridiculous parades. They can be banned forever as far as I'm concerned.
Demonstrating is a right.
I will go a step further and say the good men defending their moral culture should take pride in not letting you or him be allowed in the country (alive)
Wtf lol
Dude, you are sick. Get some mental help asap
@NorthwestRider Homosexuality was classified as an official mental disorder in 1970s. You need mental help
It is not classified anymore
We are in 2021.
Therefore saying i need help is bullshit. You want me brainwashed, reeducated like hitler would do to jews
It's mostly accepted here. Never heard of any of these problems. But people will be people. What did you expect? Especially when religion is involved. Does more harm than good. Homophobic and racists everywhere.
Homophobic and racists everywhere. Yeah, I understood very well after coming to this site.
Back in my country if they find out your gay you will be stone to death or forced to live in the sewer
I'm so sorry for this.. Which country are you from?
Wow, WTF is wrong with people?
Thankfully attitudes are slowly changing around the World.
I see a lot of people flying American flags where I live. They seem like proud Americans. Not too many fag bags around here.
Wait, what if a gay dude flies an American flag proudly or like, serves in the armed forces though? Pretty sure calling them fag bags as well is disrespectful of America. Deportation for you sir! Back to Iran where ya belong! :D
@errorgoodnameunfound If you're offended by fag bag you're not America. Back to China with you.
I'm sure they're going on. I have no idea how they are or what's going on. Just not really paying attention.
Where I live there always do a amazing pride parade I watch every year
Don't really care about that until they start to mess with your everyday life.
Don't get me wrong, but why do folks need celebrations (parades) for being gay?
Other straight people don't have any need for parades, right?
I have no idea, never been to one and actually not heard on the news about them!
Less violent than in the US. Almost not happening at all, as well.
Considering that it's basically a carnaval for progs, no wonder they aren't happening around here as they used to.
I don't pay attention to these celebrations- they have nothing to do with me.
why should they have a month their over privileged p's
It is a non-thing where I am. Just like all the other movements. Non-issues. Thankfully…
I thought it was celebrated all over the world.
It is celebrated by those who want to celebrated it. It just isn’t a thing where I am and we have no interest in celebrating something for the same of making some ‘group’ feel happy. After all, these groups have zero interest in celebrating our interest either and do not… so there is that too.
You live in Turkey of course
Your leader is a religious nutjob
Oh every day I wake up to this bitter truth. You don't need to repeat.
Answer me, would you like to see a straight people parade? What if you responded no? Does that mean you hate staright people?
Most people dont really hate gay folks, the problem is when you try to put that down our throats, stop making us see that, we dont care which flavour on desert your preffer, just do like staright people, and be quiet about it.
lgbtabcd comunity is becoming just like blm, and we all know how that one did to the us...
We cannot compare them to heterosexuals. Are heterosexuals discriminated against because of their sexual orientation? I don't think so. The problem is not just that they're in the foreground. There are those who hate them for reasons such as religion and culture.
Religion and culture have higher value than sexuality, even if you dont have them, its still the truth
It's just your opinion.
General opinion actually
Well. Just because it's general opinion doesn't mean it's right.
But it is, religion has to do with our existence, regardless if you believe it or not, even if it were fake, it would still be reffering to a more important topic than just the type of genital were attracted to, the problem is that social media is oversexualize, and it affects mostly women, just like you, bc women tend to be more influenced by trends due to the fear of being left behind, this has to do with biology, so it makes sense why you think that way, but what you're saying is tecnically: sex is more important than our existence, which really makes no sense if you view it from this perspective, and if you're still not convinced, than again, just reinforces what i said previously of women being easely influenced by social media. And refering to culture, you're saying that sex is more important than what we are ( our identity ), again, really dumb statement
@AFellowWeeb This Turkish lgbt community is making demagoguery, many of them are not innocent. One of them made the children kiss in the middle of the street, many of them with a sick mind and they go against Turkish society values
During our Holy Month, they were stripping naked in the street and demonstrating.
@AFellowWeeb The same goes for feminists. They go against the values of our country and lead the people to grudge and hatred. They whistle the azan sound. They clash with the cops. They humiliate men. They're doing exhibitionism.
@TurkishDİxon3419 Good to see more real woke people here, you are right, and i believe in you. Blm leader already admited that all of this is to destroy the nuclear familly ( traditional familly with a strong father and mother figures with healthy kids )
@TurkishDİxon3419 Blm, lgbt and feminists are disrespectful groups that are highly politically driven by the left
@AFellowWeeb Thank God, I am ashamed of my race. The person you are talking to is the daughter of a Turkish and Muslim community, but you are probably a Christian. The Qur'an says that the closest community to Muslims are Christians. I always argue that homosexuality is a population reduction project.
Heterosexuals are not discriminated against. Every day is cis hetero day. Religion divides people, religious beliefs are taking a back burner in most around the world when human rights are concerned. You can't be a Christian & spout hate for your fellow humans.
@TurkishDİxon3419 Before sharing these ridiculous ideas, talk about violence against women, femicide, murdered gays, abused children in Turkey. I don't want to defame my country on a western platform. But if I tell them what happened in Turkey , even the dumbest ones would agree with me.
@TurkishGirl_ Do not make the perception that femicide is only in Turkey. You are the reason for the murders. You are in this situation because you choose rich or cool men over men who love you. She is an impressive girl, I love Keko, she is dating Keko and. He beats her to death. Who is the reason for this?
@TurkishDİxon3419 Don't fool yourself. Every day, we wake up with the news of one or even more than one murder of women. 189 women were killed in the first 6 months of 2021.
And these are just the ones in the media.
What will happen to the Elmalı case? Children who were sold by their mothers and fathers and depicted the abuse they suffered by drawing pictures? Did they also prefer a ''keko'' ? These are your shame. Not men or women making love to each other of their own free will.
@TurkishGirl_ Onların suçlusu ben miyim kim suçluysa onları cezalandır. Kadın cinayetlerinin suçlusu kadınlardır kimse aksini iddia edemez.
@TurkishDİxon3419 Yemek tuzsuz olduğu için öldürülen kadınlar var bu ülkede. Gülünç duruma düşüyorsun. Habere boğarım şimdi burayı ama ülkemi karalamak istemiyorum. Senin aksini iddia etmen de gerçekleri değiştirmez. Hiç Türkiye'den dışarı çıktın mı? Bir çık bakalım, Türk'üm de ne sana neler soruyorlar. Çıkmana bile gerek yok şu sitede biraz dolaş anlarsın. Allahın Hintlisi bile biliyor senin ülkende olanları.
Kadın suçlu her türlü manyaklarla evlen sende hayret bişeysiniz kendinizle çelişiyorsunuz nerede manyak var onlarla evlen sonra da cinayet de sen kendi ölüm fermanını imzalamışsın zaten neyin cinayeti bu? kadın cinayetleri tüm dünyada var bir tek türkiye de değil
sen sadece ülkeyi karalamaktan başka bir şey yapmıyorsun
@TurkishDİxon3419 Evet sadece Türkiye'de olmuyor ama o diğer ülkelerdeki kadınların hakları yasalarla güvence altında, biz şansa yaşıyoruz. Aradaki fark bu. Öz annesi babası tarafından istismar edilen çocuklarımız için bile kendimizi parçalıyoruz. Neyi savunuyorsun? ''Kadınlar yanlış erkekleri seçtiği için oluyor '' demek de vicdansızlık ve ahlaksızlıktan başka bir şey değil. Göte göt demeyi öğrenin. Benim ülkeyi karalamama gerek yok, ülkem beni karalıyor zaten. Kaç kişiye ülkemi savunmak zorunda kaldım şurda yetti artık.
Yo ben katilleri falan savunmuyorum kendini korumazsan tabii ölürsün kendini nasıl korurusun adaletle uzak durarak hakkını arayarak korursun benden daha fazla onları savunamazsın ben idam edilmelerini savunuyorum zaten katil ve tecavüzcülerin daha ne
@TurkishDİxon3419 Ceren Özdemir kendini korumadığı için öldü dimi? Leylalar, İkralar, Gizemler hep kendini korumadığı için öldü. Çirkinleşmeyin.
Gözün yok mu idam edilmelerini savunuyorum zaten katillerin senden daha vicdanlıyım hapis çözüm değil ödüllendirmektir sadece
@TurkishDİxon3419 Aynen kardeşim Türkiye'ye idam gelirse (ki imkansız) tecavüzcüleri, katilleri filan asacaklar. Neye inanmak istiyorsan ona inan.
ülkede ahlaksızlık diz boyu ahlak eğitimi yok bir şey yok cezalar caydırıcı değil ülke ekonomisi bok gibi İnsanlar sinir hastası ve mutsuz kavganın şiddetin cinayetin tecavüzün olması hiç de garipsenecek bir durum değil
Quite terrible, they're leaving so much garbage on the streets that it's unbelievable.
Who cares? What’s next? Will we be celebrating zoophilia?
I identify as a BULL and that offends the living SHIT outta me sir! :D
Copy. I identify as a Klingon. It’s one of the 48 other genders and I will be suing my employer on ground they are discriminatory against my made up gender as I’m the only Klingon working there and there needs to be more diversity. I suggest affirmative action for all the 48 genders in the name of equality. Lol.
neither do i care, nor do i know. i just saw a parade from afar once. that's it.
The fight for freedom doesn't bother me. However I'm worried about their silly belief that love can triumph over hatred.
If done right, perhaps it can. the issue is that those who push for love are too naiive usually. If you've heard of the dark and light triad, the true power lies in those that can balance both. It is 100% possible to hate somebody or a specific group or something because you love something more important/worthy. For example, I hate the CCP of China because I love those who aren't dicks that manipulate the world economy and start global pandemics. I also hate a lot of bugs like roaches and mosquitos because I love more important species more. I also hate PETA and many environmental activists who are just dramatic hypocrites with mental issues that may be unfix-able. I don't know about you but its hard for me to love swordfishes and cacti over other humans. One I can at least relate to, while the others don't do much shit for me at all.
ALL of this could also be seen as both extremely egotistical AND humanistic/loving. It's a balance.
I hear in the middle east they are celebrating by painting the streets red with human shaped paintbuckets dropped off rooftops
Orada duracaksın gardaşım ben ülkemde ibne istemiyorum.
Ülkemde derken? Bu ülke kimsenin tekelinde değil.
because there is no respect in your country. because most of the people are believers and the demonstrators are provoking. If you are performing, you must act according to the rules of the country you live in. For example, you cannot do these in Iran, Arabia.
The problem is that Turkey is not Iran or Arabia. Our Constitution says,
everyone has the right to hold unarmed and peaceful meetings and demonstration marches without prior permission.
yes but you have to respect the values of the people you live in that country
I don't have to. We are not governed by religious values and this is not Arabia.
You have to respect people's beliefs. If people show naked on religious days, it is a provocation. In any country, this is not allowed. Nobody is telling you to believe in religions. they should be respected. This is how it is in my country. In the country I live in, everyone is respectful to each other. their beliefs and preferences
Where do you live?
Spain
That part of the world is retarded. I have to see their cringe shit on Instagram all the time.
The Christian organizations that I monetarily support are calling June "Christianity Month".
Unfortunately, that's the case in our country. We can't even wear T-shirts for our heads anymore. Me too from Turkey
Depends where u live but in my country it isn’t an issue to be gay so don’t get the point of pride. It’s just normal nowadays
Demonstrators who disrespect others are detained. You exaggerate things.
Lol. Where do you live?
Istanbul
Then you should know that I'm not exaggerating.
Why should one “celebrate” being gay? Wtf is the point? Its really not something to take “pride” in
Better than supporting a fake god. :)
@NightHawk99 I’d rather believe and be wrong than not believe and find out I was wrong later 😏
Well technically you're doing the latter right now so that doesn't count bud.
@NightHawk99 in your own deranged mind that might be the case. But reality suggests something different
What do you define reality as?
I don't think it is celebrated here in the UK.
Really?
If it is, I have not heard anything about it.
What are you defining as "homophobia"?
It's much quieter than usual.
I have no idea, I dont follow that stupid shit
Don’t know, don’t care.
Don't you know what's going on in the country you live in?
Right. Because I don’t care about pride month. I care about my family and friends, my career, and my hobbies.
Ok, it's a different thought. I'm not personally interested in pride month, but I'd like to know what's going on.
Funny how the police officers have gay haircuts.
What is a gay haircut?
Pretty much 90% of haircuts these days. Lol
That’s disgusting I’m sick of hearing about it
Yes a lot of problems on this site
I don't really pay attention to it.
No clue, I am too busy with work.
No clue, i am straight.
Nobody cares
Not my thing.
Not sure
