Have you ever been to Pride?

[Lilly1979]

I have gone to last out 9 of last 10 years. Only time I didn’t was during lockdown.

[RingOfFire]

The only "Gay pride" demonstrations I have seen were when I was walking in the street in the city when I worked there. And as far as I am concerned they should be banned and some of the people in it should have been arrested. These people were doing disgusting acts of simulated sex in front of CHILDREN.

I couldn't care less what consenting adults do together in private, that's their business. Have whatever kind of sex you want. But when they start to do things like this in public, that's my business and everyone else's business. I don't care what kind of sex you like. It's disgusting to have a parade about sexuality.

Sexuality is a private matter. Once you start flaunting it in public acts of lewdness, you deserve the scorn that you get. Keep your sexuality to yourself. Other people don't want to hear about it. If you don't respect their space, don't expect them to respect yours. There is no "pride" in public acts of sexuality. It should be called shame instead.

[BobbieBoy666]

Not yet maybe someday though. Because I'm Bi.

[Lilly1979]

Yes problem have your awakening I was 37 and married when I discovered I was gay took another year just to be comfortable in my life.

[Rei13]

I went last year for a little bit. Honestly wasn’t my thing but glad it exists. I wanted to go this year too but couldn’t

[Jennz6]

Yes, only once

no, i find the notion of being "proud of what you sexually prefer" idiotic. i personally would much prefer it if people kept that a private business cause it's for sure not my business so i'd appreciated it if they stopped rubbing it in my face.

[genericname85]

like everyone can do what they want between 2 consenting adults behind closed bedroom doors. idgaf. keep it behind the closed bedroom doors where it belongs. and most of all: keep it away from fucking children. damn pedophiles.

[Lilly1979]

Ah like the church.

[Gaylordslav]

Well you're the idiot then because 'pride' is about not being ashamed of who you are, since everyone shames those who are not hetero.

[SuperZonicGUY1992]

You Republican bro?

[genericname85]

@Gaylordslav not being ashamed doesn't mean you have to run around naked in the street telling everyone about your sexuality. Your idea of what it means not to be ashamed is pretty extreme.

[genericname85]

@SuperZonicGUY1992 so if you're not a gay furry pedophile, you are a Republican? I guess I am then xD

[genericname85]

@Gaylordslav like I'm straight and I'm not running around, shouting and dancing in the streets about that for an entire months cause it's idiotic. There's nothing wrong with being gay or straight or whatever. There's everything wrong with making this a public affair.

[SuperZonicGUY1992]

genericname85 you're a looser. I own a business.
I go to conventions. I'm an amway entrepreneur.

What are you a broke cash less looser?

[genericname85]

@SuperZonicGUY1992 how is any of what you just said relevant to the topic this is about?

[genericname85]

@SuperZonicGUY1992 by the way, being a salesman for amway products makes you a pyramid scheme slave, not an "entrepreneur". get a grip. have you really fallen for the "you are the wolf and the others are the sheep" bullshit, these pyramid scheme gangsters hype their poor slave employees up with? and now you think you're someone, selling probably some protein powder from your moms basement and bragging to people online that you're someone. i'm really impressed by your hypris.

[genericname85]

hybris*

[SuperZonicGUY1992]

genericname85 I am successful I'm a platinum!

You are just jealous you will be working for the rest of you're life while I will be on a cruise ship 🚢 traveling enjoy life while you will never retire you are a negative bro.

I bet you never look or search opportunities because you are lazy. Don't make me mad Amway products are amazing I will not tolerate you trash talk about my business ! I'm blocking you brother!

[SuperZonicGUY1992]

genericname85 And I do not live in my mom's basement. I live in my apartment and one day I will own a mansion when I become a Demon!

Them you will be the looser!

[genericname85]

@SuperZonicGUY1992 "platinum"? is that the idiotic name they gave your position at the very bottom of that pyramid scheme? xD... you certainly live in your own little dream world. that's fine. since you don't seem to have to add anything to the actual topic we were talking about and you just seem to be interested in masturbating your own ego while talking down to someone you don't know certainly doesn't make you a "winner" and most certainly doesn't make you a person that anyone would find any value in speaking to. have fun with your dreams of a mansion. will be a harsh awakening once you learn that reshilling another companies product doesn't make you rich.

[Gaylordslav]

What people choose to do is on them, but that is the notion of gay pride. You dont need to agree for it to be true

[genericname85]

@Gaylordslav i don't need to agree for "what" to be true? sorry that trainwreck of a "discussion" with that other dunce made me lose track of what we were talking about.

[Gaylordslav]

you dont need to agree with pride being a self acceptance movement for anyone not heterosexual. No need for you to celebrate being straight or white because that is the norm. You dont get shamed or bullied for liking girls, you dont get fired or have your hours cut for being straight guy at work. As a human you may face any hardship but your very nature isn't shameful. You might be fat and get shamed or nerdy whatever but you as a human aren't deemed as a walking abomination. I literally can't leave the house or work a job without being called gay slurs and told to kill myself

[genericname85]

@Gaylordslav i wasn't in disagreement with what "it is". i was in disagreement about the principle of having to outwardly show "pride" in a thing that i think should be a private thing. you don't get shamed or fired either. you're acting as if it's 100 years ago. you're like little britains "only gay man in the village" going on and on about how everyone hates them while everyone doing their very best to show that they're accepted.

[genericname85]

and yes some of the gay people were actually shaming me for my sexuality in this very conversaiton if you scroll up so should i go make a "straight pride" march now?

[exitseven]

No, but I've been to Oklahoma.

[wynning]

Yep the freebies are too good to pass up but mostly just the good vibes all around. The happiness of freedom is heartwarming.

[rosemilk]

no thank you. i have absolutely nothing against gay people, half of my friends are lgbtq+. just not my thing. to be fair, i don't go to many events now a days anyways lol

[FunkyMonkee]

No but, I've had my travels bothered by it.

https://www.youtube.com/embed/rTk2tYsgpf4

[MisterWack]

No, I don’t plan on going to Pride ever in my life.

Though I definitely stand up for those whose voices deserve to be heard and considered.

Best wishes to those going to Pride, have fun. 🏳️‍🌈

[FreyaRed]

They are proud about what? Their sexuality?
Well, I'm proud about my look and real estate assets even both is just inherited, but being proud about my hetero sexuality. Why?
Oh... now I get it. It's exclusivity.

[Shiprex]

I've been to a couple of parades here and they're fun although I don't get all upset about some of the critics of this.

[goaded]

Once, ages ago, in London. It was fun to watch.

[Paige90]

No I haven't and have no plans on going in the future.

[SotiCoto]

No. I wouldn't go even if I was gay. It is like extroversion manifest, and I am pure introvert.

[SmokinAces2000]

My girlfriend convinced me to go to one and I’ll probably never be back.

[CubaPirate]

Nope it's just not my thing tbh. But if people enjoy it good for them

[littleracecar7]

Yes it was fun. Everyone tipped really good

[DCVsMarvel2]

I've not, but, that doesn't mean I don't support it. I just, have better things to do in my life

[beefcakebradybatson]

No, but (Charley) Pride is my favourite Country singer.

[blackeagle007]

I won’t go. Straight, still respect others that do though

[Godihateyou]

No. I have self respect, modesty, amd am not a pedophile

[Godihateyou]

Disgusting. What a despicable piece of trash. I dont have to dream about you burning in Hell. You already are and its much worse when you die demon. I rebuke you and you meaningless empty and evil ways in the name of Christ

[beenherebefore]

No, and I don't think I will.

[DrPepper12]

Missed it this year 😭 😭 😭

[SarahP080106]

No and I'll never go despite being Bi

[Summeroflove]

Bible says pride is a sin so

[Hellfireandcandy]

Yes a few times

[SuperZonicGUY1992]

Yes and I like to be respectful to people.

[XXblack88]

No I haven't and wouldn't want to

[MemeSupreme]

[jamesgoldman]

Nope, I don't like anywhere busy

[Staximus]

Those snowflakes would lynch me

[fish5505_87]
