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.

Pride is happening soon here in my state. I will not be going. It has nothing to do with protesters or some jackazz in the name of God saying people are going to h3ll. My reasons -

Going downtown, trying to find parking, fighting traffic, paying too much to park.
Seeing a bunch of companies who are just virtue signaling.
Walking a mile afterwards to the post-parade event, standing in line for an hour, paying to go in and see MORE virtue signaling.

PLUS, within the event there is no smoking, no bringing outside food or drink except a bottle of water, purse must be clear, no lawn chairs nor canopies can be brought in,

So yeah, one would have to pay for the over-priced food and drink at the event. Of course bottles of (probably warm) water will be free.

AND, the vast majority of people at those events are straight young immature obnoxious females who feel the need to scream and squeal about everything.

And all this BULL is called "having a good time"? 🤨
