mega thread

I know what its about, but some people use it as a way to strut around pulling the family man card when they don't get their way
By "pulling the family man card" do you mean people getting angry they're not accepted or valued the same as someone who is straight.

ugh this thread is so gay

People should care less what others think of them.

Sorry, let me just stop caring about daily harassment

I mean when someone gay is told no so they act like they are oppressing them and make a big deal about it.

not like someone made a gay joke i mean actual first-hand oppression

Specify or give an example. What do you mean by "told no"

Specify or give an example. What do you mean by "told no"
"Hey can I see that?"
"No"
"Its cause I'm gay! Guys this guys a family man!"


Being told no as in being told no
Example if needed:
Person 1: Can I come in?
Person 2: No

They're being proud of it because society constantly pushes them down, that it's something abnormal and sick and that you shouldn't be whatever you are. They're pushing for legal and social equality.
I'm absolutely fine with being proud of that. Go ahead and do a parade. But hyperloveualization just gives bigots something to point at and doesn't further the cause.

Humans are social creatures. When you're harassed daily or shunned by your family it takes a toll on you.
Than why do people say "I'm proud to be gay!" rather than "I'm proud of myself for standing up against the people who are trying to put me down"
of the lgbt+ people i've met none of them have abused calling people family men. there are starfishs in every community and society and rational people know that there is a chance an starfish lgbt+ person will unrightfully accuse them of family values.

in more liberal areas it'd just be microaggressions, offensive remarks, slurs, shunning or harassment.
in more dangerous areas it could probably extend to physical abuse and more frequent emotional abuse.
"Hey can I see that?"
"No"

you're blowing up this problem greatly. this doesnt happen enough to the point to justify gay pride not existing or being diminished.

I didn't say it has to be diminished?

can someone give me an example of oppression
I can't get married without entirely moving to another state

You said that people abuse it. You were clearly making a stance about this issue, about how people should have a different kind of pride. Make up your mind.

My apologize for not making myself clear.
What I basically mean is that its not the loveuality to be proud of but the fact your fighting for your rights regarding your loveuality.

Damn gay people stealing our rainbows.
Now it's all like rainbows are for gays and if you like them you're gay.
Like wtf, who doesn't like rainbows? They're loving beautiful.
