Do you agree with lgtbq pride parades?

Question

i dont

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

No I don’t. This community says they want to be left alone, let to live their lives, to be accepted by everyone but yet they bring all this “unwanted” attention on theirselves. But I thought they just wanted to live their lives? I’d love to see S&M personnel out there throwing a parade, see how fast that gets shut down.

Of course not. I'm normal

Investigator · Answer

There's a fundamental question that need to be answered, when considering the value of Pride Parades--purely as a sociopolitical phenomenon. I'm not going to address the corporate element, that's a whole other can of worms.

Is being gay as valid as being straight--is being queer inherently good--or does it need to be evaluated on an ongoing basis like a corporate financial report, in order to see if it still makes sense?

On the one hand, the entire point of the Pride Parade is to continue demonstrating that queer people exist, their sexuality is persistent and "not a phase" like a fashion trend. More to the point, Pride is--in some sense--a way to convey that the gay or trans lifestyle is no different than the "heteronormative" one. After all, they are putting on a show in public; it's a "Parade", not a convention. The fact that its participants consist entirely of adults (which is good, because lately, it's become rather flamboyant and increasingly ostentious with its displays of sexuality) is a marked exhibition of durability: being gay is something you are, not something you do and you don't grow out if it.

On the other hand, Pride Parades, being as loud and in-your-face as they are, are almost a slap in the face to conventional attempts at propriety and decorum--something Pride seems to lack, almost on purpose, in an attempt to "get revenge" on the straights for having the audacity to feel disgusted by queer people for just being themselves. There's a tension going on, between the onlookers and the crew members, where Pride is being used as a social bludgeon against normal, typically conservative people, to make them passively atone for being complicit in historical injustices, on account of punishing queer people, due to their natural sexual inclinations flying in the face of natural order. However, the fact remains that the LGBTQ community lives an uncomfortable reality, where they hate straight people because of their abnormal nature, but also because heterosexuality is required for queer people to exist. Two woman and two men cannot make a baby, but a lesbian and gay man can, but at that point, we've come full circle to "heteronormativity" being the natural cause of childbirth and that's a fact that the LGBTQ community has to reconcile.

Additionally, if at some point in the future, predictive birthing models and gene editing become good enough, queerness may cease to exist. After all, if gay people are "born that way", but one can simply make them not that way by "designing" them to be straight in the womb, then being gay would be something done on purpose rather than being a sociolobiological anomaly. That alone invites a whole host of questions humanity is simply not prepared to face, but given advancements in AI and improvements in general human wellness, these questions will need to be answered--one way or another.

TL;DR It's complicated

You should of made it a poll.

It’s one thing if these parades are were people march appropriate dressed while behaving appropriately. However is a huge difference between “tolerance and acceptance” vs “celebrating and being special”. I think the alphabet people are much more about the latter nowadays.

With that said I am libertarian and this is America. I believe legal adults can make their own choices. So if you want to have a parade suit yourself. But don’t judge me if I decline to attend.

However the alphabet people have gotten much more aggressive with their ideology in the last few years. It’s no longer “you stay my lane and I will stay yours.” I more often hear reports of the following:

Indecent exposure at pride parades in front of children
Attendees having sex in public at these events.

While I don’t think most people do that gross and sick behavior at these events the ones that do try often “get a pass” and an excuse to do this bs just because they belong to this group of people. That’s what I hate and can’t stand.

I support people being gay, queen, queens, and trans. What I DON'T support is it being forced onto to little kids, and constantly shoved down the throats of the general populace every fucking day in every way!! You do you and leave the rest of us the fuck out of it, especially those that want nothing to do with it!! Likewise, I support feminism but NOT to the degree of militancy!! There's a really cool book that I bought and read back in the late `80's, I think. It's called, "Cunt". It's a funny and mostly intelligent book but, when you get to the last chapter, it becomes pretty militant!! That's where I stop agreeing with it!
Why does EVERYTHING these days HAVE to be a fucking battle? As I said, you do you, I'll do me and, as long as neither of us is shoving down each others throats, we SHOULD be able to get on together quite nicely!!

Sirenboobzilla · Answer

Been exposed to them my whole life in New York. They're not what conservative media makes it out to be. If you don't want your kids exposed to the parade, perhaps don't take them to it. That said, gay kids exist. There's no way around it. Never has been.

xamm89 · Answer

Pride parades are fine. No one's forcing anyone to go attend. Swear people today spew the same bullshit phrases "don't need it shoved down my throat" and blah blah. No one's forcing shit. Burger King commercials are everywhere, no one forces you to eat their when you pass one.

If people could take all that energy and direct it at pedophiles and molesters that'd be great

Exterminatore · Answer

They are an abomination. I’m against homosexuality from the start, but half of these parades constitute public lewdness so far as I’m concerned and I’d feel the same way if they were heterosexual parades with the same antics I’ve seen in the homosexual ones.

Anonymous · Answer

The alphabet people have the right to parade but I disagree with the occasional raunchy displays during such marches.

I would never attend such a parade. I know people who are homosexual, I am respectful of them, and I never openly condemn or criticize them. If they don't ask my opinion, I don't express it. But I do believe that engaging in homosexual acts is a sin, and it is aberrant behavior.

Kleber_01 · Answer

I am totally against it, the option which should not be an ideological or political flag and simply a sexual option, the aberrations are psychological dystopias. A man is a man, a woman is a woman.

Christoff92 · Answer

It's their right and they won their right to celebrate. But however the main reason why they orchestrated these events because they want the public to know that they're human to.

Like the World wasn't never always populated with just heterosexuals. Even though am myself a heterosexuals. Homosexuals and transgenders have been around for a very long time. They been such way since they were at an early age.

Only finally theirs voices can be heard through these events.

Keishio · Answer

This day and age no. If cities want to allow it then go ahead but it's not something I'd support or take my kids to. I know they say it's about acceptance and stuff but I have no idea how they could be more accepted anymore. We all know they exist and 99% of people don't think twice about them which is the exact way everyone else gets treated

provokeesmokee · Answer

Yeah.  And that you think it's something to disagree about is exactly why Pride is a protest and it needs to continue. Why are you a homophobe?

AaronKrieger · Answer

I don't like how oversexualized some are, but I am also not LGBT and it's not my issue, so I do not understand the appeal as well as them. In general, I really could careless though about them and forget they exist most of the time.

Anonymous · Answer

NO... Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall - Proverbs 16:18  Children, as well as others, need to be protected from such immoral "parades.

AnusNdaPainus · Answer

Nope keep it behind closed doors like rest of us

bobcat57 · Answer

Yes. It’s both a celebration of how far we’ve come and a message to homophones that we aren’t going away.

Blueeyes81 · Answer

It doesn't really affect me so I don't care. I take a libertarian approach to most social issues. If it doesn't affect me why should I try and suppress it. Let them do them and you do you.

Anonymous · Answer

Does the parade have an opinion? I don't know what I am supposed to agree or disagree with. It's an event.

Aiko_E_Lara · Answer

I would've if they just dont shove their agenda to people and kids. For them to be liberated and be accepted is enough. There's no need to make themselves so special.

Staximus · Answer

People with common decency don't turn their sex lives into a public display or make it other people's business. Keep that shit to yourselves.

Anonymous · Answer

Yes I think they would be great having their parade during a hurricane or a tornado. Maybe a parade at 2 am in the morning. Better yet move to China or become colonists on Mars and have the parade , every body could enjoy it.

I don’t. I support them otherwise, but I am seriously turned off by the whole “pride” thing. I find it to be highly obnoxious.

It doesn't matter what anyone thinks. They can do whatever they want, just like you can.
