Do you support PRIDE? If so why? If not why?

Question

FunkyMonkee · Accepted Answer

You mean, gay stuff? Yeah, I support that stuff. I have no problem with those types of people. The ONLY issue I have with any of them is when they become militant about it and start shoving it down everyone's throats!! You feel you want to have a relationship with your own gender, I'm perfectly fine with that! I might toss a few gay jokes at you but it's NOT to hurt or belittle you8 but to just get a laugh out of you! You feel you were born in the wrong body, perfectly fine with me! You go right ahead and do what you need to do to be happy! I'm behind you 100%!!
As long as what any of you are doing doesn't hurt anyone else, that's fine! But, you want the rest of the world to respect you and your lifestylle and, a good many people ion this planet just aren't up to that, yet! They're slowly getting there! But, the point I was gonna make is, you want them to respect YOUR lifestyles, but, you ALSO need to respect those of the people around you who are NOT like you! The more YOU respect THEM, the more THEY'LL respect YOU!!
Back in `69, there was this massively huge rock concert in New York. Maybe you've heard of it. It was called, Woodstock! A number of the townspeople around where the concert was being held were of the old stock, from the `20's and `30's. And they blindly though the hippies at this concert were very nasty, rude, disgusting, disrespectful people. After the concert,. a number of those people were interviewed and asked what they thought of the kids at the concert and, nearly every one of them said the kids were VERY respectful, kind, helping, and what have you and, because of that, those towns people were much more open to helping the kids! Giving them food and drink (a few of them even made trays of sandwiches to give the kids!), the use of a phone or bathroom!
And, like some chick at a Cheap Trick concert I went to 30 years ago told the roadies she was working with who were yelling at the autograph seeking fans who were in their way, "In order for you to GET respect, you need to GIVE respect!!" She calmly asked those in the way to move aside so the roadies could get their gear loaded up and they moved out of the way!!

I use to be open-minded about gays, and alt-sex crowd. I use to be indifferent about Pride and LGBT+...

Not anymore. There is no need to spend a month celebrating one group's sexuality. And that includes my city buying rainbow flags to place throughout the city, having parades that have to be guarded by cops on taxpayer dime.

In my suburb near the city, it use to be a quiet simple place. Now we have Pride Parades and festivals in the suburbs as well, with people dressed in revealing clothing, drag queens, freaks, and want to turn it into a family friendly activity with your favorite kink.

It needs to end. The Pride stuff needs to be in one place where the people can get as crazy as they want and be all together with their people.

Yes, I support pride. Why?: I believe that love is a right that every person has earned, and it should be universal. Why should it matter if my oldest son (hypothetically) marries a woman, and my youngest son marries a man? Parents and peers should understand that it's not their decision of who and when their child marries. Money should NOT be an ingredient regarding the love between two people! I read books and see shows all the time where the father of the bride would say "The family requests that guests provide monetary (money) gifts only, please! Thank you!". Additionally, why do parents give ultimatums if all they're going to do is feel a lot of regret down the road? "You either marry the woman (or man if you're female) we pick for you, or we will disown you, and we will never speak to you again!". Parents should be proud that their children have found someone they care about regardless of who they are. Same thing with former inmates--Why do you judge someone just because they were in prison at one time? A lot of these people, have changed who they once were, and want to prove to not only others, but THEMSELVES that there is someone who loves them, regardless of their past.

Absolutely Not!

Go see what MATT WALSH has to say.

But if I were to explain to you WHY NOT. Snowflakes would all end up reporting me and attacking me and having their supporters bully me and harass me. And ultimately they’d have my entire account removed. Then they’ll go for my tumblr, then Twitter, then Instagram. And they’ll have everything online that is me REMOVED.

So………,

Yeah…. I ain’t gonna say anything.

🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐🤐

People are too butt-hurt in these days. And I ain’t lying, they’ve had my entire DeviantArt account deleted because I posted a “LGBT RANT”. In 2014. SO…..

Bratsondanielle · Answer

I used to, more or less anyway, because I didn't foresee the avalanche it would become. Now we have a whole month of nothing but pride and even now in July we still have commercials for pride "pride never stops " or something like that. 115 genders and pronounce and they want kids in school to... I Mean it's just gotten completely out of hand I think... I don't mind gays and kids should learn there are people who gravitate to their own sex, but excuse me for thinking that if you want to wear diapers and pretend your partner is mommy, or as a man... uhm excuse me. ... xy-chromosome individual.. want to dress in heels and stalkings -- then I honestly think you can do it at home. You're special, yes, but it's a kind of specific the rest of us don't want to see 24/7

ZackBan · Answer

It's manipulating a set of people who are already all kinds of confused into becoming a cult that can be guided in any needed direction.
Mostly so that leftists can win elections.

These people are being abused by the same instigators preaching unconditional love.

They are being trained to resent those who do not share their views.

I have a few friends in the community and when I hang with their friends I get the side eye. Sometimes they say stuff like "oh sorry you can't come to this event it's queer night" basically shaming me for being straight.

I am a firm believer that the LGBTQAIP community needs to be outlawed all over the world and it's banner treated the same as every other extremist cult who ever flew a flag.

Smoke-n-Growls · Answer

Absolutely do! I'm queer as fuck myself and homophobes can get bent.

Pride is necessary because same sex marriage isn't legal in many countries and is at risk of being recriminalized in the US, bringing it ever closer to the Puritan Christofascist state it is at its core.

Pride is also a protest because LGBTQ people still face prejudice, discrimination, and hate crimes. It doesn't invalidate that other groups are also victim to this, and many LGBTQ people are also in those other groups who are likewise facing prejudice, discrimination, and hate crimes.

Get bent, homophobes. And Happy Belated Pride. ♥️💜💙

DaveJord · Answer

I am not anti gay or pro gay. But I am anti- LGBTQ agenda. What else do you really want or need you basically got everything you wanted. So why you got running around waving flags everywhere about it needing attention and constant validation from people? Promoting your life styles on kids, projecting your brlueved on people that literally don't give shit about who you sleep with.

In the 1990s I was all about gays and lesbian rights, and gay marriage... just give to them so they'll shut the fuck up about it, right? Wrong.

Now their just super annoying attention whores, and I am sick of hearing about it constantly.

Dargil · Answer

This kind, yes.

Red-Blaze · Answer

I do not support the coruptuon qnd ecil that pride has become
"You die a hero (completed your task and have no use no more) or live long to become the villian (Become the very thing you where made to fight)"
Pride started to say "We dont need to be in the shadow but shuld be proud of who we are" but over time it evolve to a closed group, a club
And its very flag show it
The orignal colors meant no group, it meant freedom, it meant humanity
The new flag closes it to groups (black, trans...) Pride is no longer what it once was, and I will not support this villian

hyperben · Answer

on a global scale it seems like it means something different in the USA to the rest of the world.

in the UK the pride events look to be just a bit of a carnival atmosphere that give people the chance to be openly gay and just party, similar for most of Europe I believe, it doesn't come off as some overly sexualised vibe promoting anything, literally just people enjoying a get together that suits their identity. The coverage of the US Pride events kind of make it look like a degenerate orgy where its not enough just to be gay, you have to be in S+M gear with a dildo on your head, a nice idea but with a terrible execution.

Guanfei · Answer

Pride about what? Something you didn't decide? Proud of parading with oversexualized and half naked people in front of kids, showing their "kinks" in public? Proud of being the most toxic community, with a god complex as high as Snoop Dog in his good days?

They went from "we can't show ourselves in public" to "we will show everything and even the most disgusting or intimate stuff, and if you say something, we'll rain fire down on you like a fucking WW3, while allowing ourselves to openly hate on straight people".

Nothing left to support there. At the moment being LGBT wasn't illegal anymore, and gay marriage was there, They had everything other people had, but it wasn't enough. They had to be allowed to be completely toxic and hateful.

Want to be gay openly and even marry? Sure, I'm cool with that. The rest is just trash attitude.

LivingExample · Answer

I do not support pride because they want everyone to respect them, but they do NOT give that Respect back. Marriage Belongs to God. Marriage was the First Covenant God Ordained and He Ordained it for a Man and a Women and people need to Respect that. The Rainbow Belongs to God and was the Second Covenant God Ordained and He Ordained it for Everyone and it is Wrong for homosexuals to claim it as theirs. Homosexuals using marriage and the rainbow is giving God the “Middle Finger.” If homosexuals want to be together legally they need to call it something else like partnership and find something else to represent them and give God’s Marriage and God’s Rainbow the Respect they want to receive!

ThoseCognacEyes · Answer

It’s a commercial celebration for big corporations to make money. I don’t give two fucks what people do behind closed doors, but no, I don’t support pride month and all that bullshit. And I definitely don’t support teaching this shit to kids at schools. If you’re gay/lesbian/whatever, you’re free to do what you want, but don’t shove your lifestyle in my face.

RolandCuthbert · Answer

Beyond them getting their basic rights guaranteed by the Constitution, I can't say I support them. But this fight for them to have the right to marry is important. Because if the insane racist sexist extremist fruitcakes can reason that their rights can be revoked, then sooner or later, they will come for my rights too.

MikeInHawaii · Answer

I had a gay friend who loathed the pride parades. He said gay people spend all year saying they are otherwise ordinary people with different sexual preferences. Then they hold these parades, exhibit the worst stereotypical behavior, and make complete spectacles of themselves.

Steve7111 · Answer

No I don’t. I’m all for tolerance and acceptance of LGBT people, but that’s not what Pride is about anymore.

It’s now about the promotion and celebration of homosexuality, and the bullying and marginalisation of anyone not on board, which I cannot support.

Snsl153 · Answer

No, I don't support this nonsense at all, simply because I believe that a person's sex life should remain private, not discussed with strangers, and to be quite honest with you, I am more than fed up with hearing about who does what to whom and why! Whatever happened to discretion? Whatever happened to shame?

NewsReader · Answer

You mean the lgbtq+fhigf$+hfjvhur community?

I'm fine with people being gay, bisexual, whatever and having the right to be that way. But I am strongly against the progressive (far left) obsession over this stuff. Be gay if you want, just don't make a big deal out of it and don't brainwash little kids with your propaganda.

SixFootSexy · Answer

How are you going to support pride as a straight person? Start being bi? Send your kids to drag queen story hour? Encourage them to get irreversible surgeries and hormone blockers?

Do what you want as an adult, but these wolves preying on impressionable kids are not okay and should not be supported in any way.

StephanieGirl75 · Answer

Yes I support Gay and Lesbian Pride. 💞 Even Bi-curious. 💞

lilyanony1 · Answer

I support love.

I support the freedom to be who we want to be

I support kindness.

I support positive communities.

Although I have a Christian background I do not go to church.

I personally do not feel connected to the mindset that can sometimes live within the church.
That being said. I believe in the love thy neighbour, and the 10 commandments principle.

I just want peace.

WelcomeToTheSuck · Answer

Yes and no. I support the freedom to choose your sexuality, but sexual preference aside, I think pride should be based on the individual. I think all festivals that celebrate a mediocre form of living (sexuality, race, etc) are silly. Pride should be earned through hard work. You shouldn't be proud for having a favorite food or being able to count to 100, or having a mustache. You should be proud for doing hard work or surviving tough situations. I know lots of homosexual culture is still discriminated against today but festivals held in first world countries aren't really doing anything for the people being gay where it's still illegal or discriminated against.

Anonymous · Answer

yes, many places in this world it is still not acceptable to be with the one you love. Getting yelled or spit at for holding hands happens to a lot, even in apparent free and open cultures, like northern Europe where I am from.. not to mention far worse situations other places! It is awful and something worth putting attention to.

nawtee_me · Answer

Nope, Pride is a word that should be taken out of all language... If I say white pride I offend non whites, If I say Proud Christian I offend non Christians, and if I say Gay pride I offend non gay people. There is a reason why the saying goes "Pride goes before the fall."

Anonymous · Answer

I do because I think everyone is free to find and choose what and who makes them happy. I believe we are born to look for our own happiness. It may not come in the shape, form and sexual orientation that society has stated to be a norm but everyone has the right to find happiness and joy. Things that everyone regardless of color, race, sexual orientation and civil state should be able to experience.

USLegionary · Answer

XXblack88 · Answer

No I don't. Pride is overrated and I feel like it is being shoved down my throat.

Anonymous · Answer

No. I don’t care who you want to bang just stop pushing it in my face. The same goes for religion. These people say they just want to be accepted, left alone to live their lives but make a big circus of it to attract attention. Freaking stupid.

OddBeMe · Answer

“Pride” is a weird issue as it means its more honorific than those without. White pride, black pride, Irish pride, even LGBT pride is all really crap.

We give marginalized communities extra leeway here obviously, and rightly so, I guess. But i think we need to move away from PRIDE.

007kingifrit · Answer

no, it's an evil movement designed to divide the west among smaller and smaller sexually deviant groups. it uses pseudoscience to promote new fake identities and solidify them as if they were ethnic groups.

and it's inherently trashy at best and predatory to children at worst

KatherineJ · Answer

I don’t care if someone is gay. I don’t care if a gay couple chooses to marry, or become parents. Will I fly a rainbow flag, or participate in any parades or activities/events to show acceptance? No. Simply put, it is not my business who wants to be with who.

globetrotter22 · Answer

It’s not about equality and hasn’t been for at least five years now. Rather it’s about an ideology.

ArtieWhitefox · Answer

I support Pride. There is a peacful spirit there. That needs to be protected. The angels in Lots house were peacful. The people outside that house were not peacful. The same kind of scenario will happen when the wicked are raised. They will be around the city of God four square. Real Sodomites elect a condeming Judge. That is what Genisis 19 - 9, KJV is all about. The people who are not peacful to the gays are the Sodomites. Sodomites make laws saying obey them or else.

Smashingdoozy · Answer

I'm a part of the LGBT+ community. Never had a bad day going to any pride event. Everyone is always so welcoming, accepting and they're just so much fun honestly.

smahala1991 · Answer

I do support LGBTQ rights, but I feel like the Pride movement nowdays is more corporate than what was originally intended. I mean nowdays companies just slap a rainbow flag or background and call themselves Pride supporters. No offense to anyone like I said I do support LGBTQ rights.

Anonymous · Answer

I support people being happy in their own lives. I have too much going on in my own life to worry about others. But I do think the pride parade is a overkill sort of speak. You’re gay ok cool. Don’t have to shove it in everyone’s faces and have big companies capitalizing off of it. But other than that be happy with those that make you happy!

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

I have been going to Pride events since a young age, mainly as my sister and friends went.

Will be attending Pride this weekend with my sister and a bunch of friends.

it’s a good laugh during the day and great night out.

NishantPu · Answer

I don't support it neither i oppose it. I don't have a problem with two grown people Falling in love or having sex. But i also hate the way people using it just like a new trend.
And don't force kids to follow the same. Leave the kids alone and I'm all ok.

anylolone · Answer

I've been to a lot of pride parades, so no.
It's a carnival, doesn't need any support, people will go for the fun, end of story, it needs technically infrastructural support depending on the size of the audience.

Oh, you mean the predditors, the ilk of sartre or du beauvoir?
The opposite of support for those.

Ghostluck · Answer

Not really. It's become more of a fad now than when it first launched. It's way too trendy for my likings and I always shy away from what everyone else thinks is cool. It's like the second the world thinks it's cool, I'm no longer on board with it.

Anonymous · Answer

PRIDE is a celebration of who we are. It's a celebration to remember the struggles we have had to go through for equality, and the continuing struggle for both equality AND equity. PRIDE is our loud response to decades of people forcing us into the closets, to be ashamed of who we are, and telling us to shut up, and instead we say "no, I will be PROUD of who I am, of how God made me!"

This is why I support PRIDE.

RobT312 · Answer

For me personally no, it has no meaning to me.

but for those who find it meaningful to celebrate pride , yeah I’ll support them. My neighbors like it, have a party every year, and I support it by going

Besides being one of the classic Seven Deadly Sins (also translated as vanity), It begs the question: Pride in what?

If you have achieved a great relationship with your partner, okay, you can be proud of that, but just for existing?

No, I don't like to single out individual groups. That ultimately leads to distrust, disappointment, and hate... at least by some individuals. We are all HUMAN... why can't we just leave it at that?

I support non-hetero sexuality. I don't support parades with naked bodies gyrating down Main St. Keep that in your pants, and keep the fairways open. But you can love whomever you want.

Throwawayaccount125 · Answer

I mean I guess I don't really support it nor do I have anything against it. I don't support it because I'm not one of them and some of them are super annoying and yes I know it depends on person and all but I find the annoying ones acting like a representative for the community and I don't have anything against it because it doesn't really make my life worse in any way.
