The lefties were much worse attacking everyone against it or even neutral with a barrage of "for us or against us" posts and personal attacks from bots and extremists, but some on the conservative side were putting way too much anger and stock into it. 100% agree that there is no excuse from the excessive flaunting and gross behavior in front of children, but the other side wants to see the anger and push back so that it can help them play the victim card. The best way to get under the skin of narcissistic and histrionic people is to ignore them and act as if they do not exist. For those who like it, celebrate it with their friends in a non disruptive way. I personally choose to ignore it and react as little as possible either way. I'm not conservative so I was pro gay marriage even when Obama and Clinton were against it. The trans stuff is weird but if you can get plastic surgery to look like a cat I guess you can get plastic surgery to look like a woman if you are an adult, but you are definitely not a woman it's just for pretend. And kids should never have surgery like that under any circumstances. That's just sick. We need to draw a line in the sand and say when enough is enough. Be gay if you want but don't push it in our faces. It should be nobody's business who you have sex with and nobody should know otherwise. Why should I know so and so's sexual preferences? I shouldn't. So keep it to yourself. The buffalo bills supporting weiners in butts is super weird and unnecessary. Why are they telling us where to put our weiners? Shut up and play football! The whole thing is gross when you look at it like that. 1 2

The whole thing is gross when you look at it like that. I agree and wish that the Bills would stay neutral. I know a couple of LGBT people who do not appreciate the holiday because they want their lives to be private and think that it brings undue negative attention, so it definitely not just a conservative thing. I feel like the excessive push back from some on the right only taunts them to flaunt things as grossly as possible. I see less overall clashing than other years and it is already less in your face as it was during the COVID toxic conformity era, that is why I go by the "ignore it" strategy. On facebook, I just use the snooze for 30 days. June has 30 days and we are back to normal after that. Edited Monday at 02:29 PM by dgrochester55 1

I walked into a convenience store this morning to pick something up on the way home and the first thing I saw inside the doorway was a giant display full of Pride Month crap... I turned around and walked right back out. And I will never go back to ANY store belonging to that particular chain again! 1
sherpa Posted Monday at 02:42 PM Posted Monday at 02:42 PM My wife runs her business through Etsy. She creates custom banners for churches and ships them throughout the US. She and the buyer discuss the plan, swap a few design ideas, agree on the product and then she creates and ships it. Last week she got a request for a banner for an Episcopal Church. The guy wanted the official Episcopal symbol with a "pride " thing added, sewn onto the lower left quadrant of the 4x3 banner. She politely told him she would gladly do the Episcopal symbol, but not the pride portion. She mentioned she didn't want to create any banner that could be remotely political. Anyway, she gets more business than she cares to handle, so no problem. 2
B-Man Posted Monday at 03:26 PM Posted Monday at 03:26 PM Lets get the usual responses out of the way, shall we ? "I can't believe that you MAGA cultists are so fixated on this !" " What are you so afraid of ? No one is forcing anything, We just want acceptance" Now compare those childish taunts with the fact that the United States has designated a whole month based on who you have sex with. It is all a political movement designed to further Leftist goals. Excuse me if I just laugh and point out examples of hypocrisy. . 2

Good job by Mrs Sherpa. 1

BillsFanNC Posted 16 hours ago Posted 16 hours ago I like to tell this story every pride month. Back in the 90s one of my good friends who is gay would often repeat the mantra of the day: "Don't judge me by my sexuality" I would challenge him by asking if he doesn't want to have his human identity distilled down to who he prefers to have sex with then why be a member of the gay men's choir? It seems that only encourages people to focus on that part of who you are and not the rest. We live in different states now and only talk a few times a year but I do know that he's not on board with the current nonsense that is pride month. The whole movement has gone from don't judge us by our sexuality to everything about me is defined by this flag, so celebrate us or else you bigot. Oh and let us talk to your kids about it too. Divorce the LGB from the TQ+ and I think we get back to some sense of normalcy.

Niagara Bill Posted 10 hours ago Posted 10 hours ago Too bad how things have gone. 10 years ago gay became mainstream in the majority of people's minds IMHO. Not 100% approved but non the less accepted. Then came trans, and all the pluses... In Canada pride was hijacked by Black lives matter. Anti police crap. Suddenly even gay police couldn't be in a parade. Back came the anti reaction, back came the religious right. Mainstream began to not accept. Biggest mistake ever made by LG community. I don't care what Ellen says, I would still do Portia
