Pride Month

I both do and don't wanna go to Pride this year. It would be my first time [i]really[/i] going.

There's just so much hate and transphobia going on recently, and the Pride event that I would go to is hours away from where I live. I feel really torn about it. Plus, my partner lives in a different state and won't be able to make it.

I feel like it would be cool to go, but I'm thinking of passing. Idk.

People are getting all feral about it, but then again, if you went you'd be showing your support. But also who wants a bunch of fat, psycho rednecks screaming at you that you're going to hell.

@Allelse See, therein lies the problem. I'd like to stand up to those people but also don't wanna deal with them.

@DarkAngel24 See you get it, I mean we all have that urge to stand up for ourselves, but nobody wants to deal with that shit. You know what else I hate, these NAZI crazies are always overweight guys with beards, I'm an overweight guy with a beard and they make me look bad!!!

@Allelse LOL overweight guys with beards are generally good from what I've seen, but the NAZI guys are definitely trying to bring that image down.
Allelse · 36-40, M
@DarkAngel24 Damn straight!!! We're cuddly but the beard gives that rough and tumble kind of look. But the NAZIS have gone from skinhead to fat and bearded. I wish they'd just go away.

@Allelse They take every aesthetic/look and ruin it. They definitely need to be stopped for more reasons than one.

@DarkAngel24 You know what's scary, right or wrong, a big conflict often leads to big changes. And humans love a nice big war. I wish people would just calm the fuck down.

@Allelse I wish more people embraced a live and let live attitude, and yet...

@DarkAngel24 My uncle is worked up about pronouns and transsexuals, and I said to him, even if it was just a fad, so what, what does it matter to him and his life. He's an old man living in a retirement village and nobody is telling him how to live. I even tried having a proper heart to heart with him about it, but no good, he's still all fired up about something that not only doesn't affect him, but that he'll never understand.

@Allelse It's sad, really. The way that politicians and "thought leaders" are able to get people worked up over nothing. The only "upside" to it is that eventually they'll find another group of people that's supposedly ruining America or whatever to hate on. But that doesn't really solve the problem.

@DarkAngel24 Worst part is that he's Australian, so why the hell is he listening to Trump and others about this. But he goes on youtube and listens to these crazy people and gets all worked up. And you're right, they will. People always need some group to blame for all their problems. Muslims haven't done much in a while so now it's the LGBTIQA+ movement.

@Allelse That's really a shame. There's literally so many better ways to spend your retirement that aren't getting worked up over other countries' politics. Unfortunately a lot of people make a lot of money getting people worked up over nothing. There always has to be an enemy.

Good guys and bad guys come in all sorts of appearances though.

@CestManan That's just lies from big appearance.
