I Have Something to Say

Remind me again why "Pride" is such a great event?

If you can't celebrate what makes you you without drugs
OR AT THE VERY LEAST WITHOUT LEAVING YOUR DAMN RUBBISH BEHIND ON THE BEACH

you frankly belong behind bars.

Whatever noble purpose it once severed "pride" has morphed into yet another vapid exercise in nauseating consumerism and utter drivel. Please can we stop celebrating this tacky nonsense until its participants are willing to be f***ing adults

I completely and utterly agree... I said similar at the time it was ongoing and got lambasted on here. It's nice that now's it's over people can see it for what it is again.

@Lhayezee I myself was saying that if Pride is still so important then they should take a Black History Month approach by educating people. All these things are is an excuse for, as you say, debauchery, and exhibitionism. Plus they are not representative of a majority of LGBT people.

If you as a bi woman, and myself as a bi man can see this and don't like it, what the impression going to be on those who are already untrusting of the LGBT community. It's just going to do more damage than good.

@Quizzical I'm embarrassed that by my sexuality I'm even tangentially linked to it tbh

@Lhayezee I understand that completely 😟

So glad people see this for what it is.
I support the LGBT movement but like the Climate Change and anti Brexit people - the trash and the tired old endless marches and protests are getting really old. CLEAN UP YOUR CRAP.

Pride used to be about actual pride. Now it's, like you mentioned, a business opportunity.

Damn, is this stuff still that popular?

I can definitely understand what you’re saying. Unfortunately there are some people who can’t celebrate anything publicly without getting high or drunk, tossing trash around. It’s not limited to pride celebrations, either.

Could be better to celebrate all the bi/gay/trans/straight without segregation...love thy neighbour ( I sound like a hippy) who needs to get high on anything but life..

@HotPizza71 one notices that minority groups of any sort (and I'm in it so I feel qualified to say this!) campaign to be treated just like the majority. And then want their own little spaces too because they can't bare to let go of their own little vapid cultural corner too.

You can be different. Or like everyone else. Either is great and fine by me. You can't be both
