Happy PRIDE Month ! ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ

As the daughter of a mattied lesbain couple, this is a big deal for my family. This month and everyone I support the rights of the LGBTQIA+ Community. To me its a human & civil rights issue. Im thankful fot thpse who cam before that we can live openly and freely.

Right now, sadly, our rights are ubder attack by Trump, DeSantis & MAGA Republicans. We must fight and defead the hate, bigtory, homophioba &transphobia. There still more work to be done. I will continute to fight to protect LGBTQIA+ Rights!

@Torsten until being queer is as normal as being straight, deal with it!
Torsten ยท 36-40, M
@BarbossasHusband it will never be as normal as being straight. Sorry to break it to you. Straight is the majority and queer is the minority.
But you want it to be just like being straight? well stop celebrating it and making it your whole identity like most who are gay tend to do. Straight people dont do that shit

@Torsten [quote]Straight people dont do that shit[/quote]

Sure they do sexuality is part of everyones identity but you don't notice it because like you mentioned straight is a majority and as such created norms that are being followed that are heteronormative therefore are an expression of heterosexuality. You simply donโ€™t view it as such.
Torsten ยท 36-40, M
@FragileHeart let me know when there is straight pride months and stores selling straight pride clothes/merch and all that shit
FragileHeart ยท 22-25, M
@Torsten The pride stuff is for straight people too and allies. Most my straight friends enjoy the time too.

As soon as there is discrimination against straights especially when some countries start punishing it by death i'll be the first to walk on a straight pride.

@Torsten You remind me of a child who asks, if there is a Mother's Day and a Father's Day, why isn't there a Kid's Day? The answer is that every other day is "kid's day." There's no "straight pride month" because straight peoples' existence is taken for granted, and until relatively recently, gay people had to be careful that no one knew their true orientation. Even today it's dangerous to come out as gay in some communities.

When everyone is automatically assumed to be gay and straight people have to pretend to be gay to get along, you can have your straight pride month. Until then, stop being such a crybaby.
Torsten ยท 36-40, M
@LeopoldBloom what a lame cop out.
If people want other sexualities to be the same as straight, its rather simple, stop with the pride shit and throwing your sexuality down others throats.
The majority of people dont give a fuck or care to know who you're attracted towards.
LeopoldBloom ยท M
@Torsten Why do you get to throw your sexuality down others' throats, but LGBT have to stay out of sight just to avoid offending delicate bigots like you? Nobody's telling you that you have to be gay. If you don't like them, stop paying attention to them.
Torsten ยท 36-40, M
@LeopoldBloom fact is though, i dont. I keep my shit to myself. Something others should do in my opinion.
LeopoldBloom ยท M
@Torsten You've shared the fact that you have children.

Be honest, do people you work with know you're straight? Or if they were asked, they could honestly say that they have no idea if you're gay or straight because you keep your personal life secret? Because if they know you're straight, you're not keeping your shit to yourself.
Torsten ยท 36-40, M
@LeopoldBloom yes and guess what? sharing that fact does not mean i am telling the world I am straight. Gay people also have children.
Sharing that you have children has no bearing on sexuality.

outside of my actual mates i work with yeah, no one has any clue about my personal life except for that i am a father and that is only cause my son has come out a few times before.
Like I said. I keep my shit to myself. Something others really need to do themselves
LeopoldBloom ยท M
@Torsten So the people you work with have never seen you with a woman you were dating? If someone asks about your son's mother, you don't answer? So for all they know, you could have adopted him with another man who is no longer in the picture.
Torsten ยท 36-40, M
@LeopoldBloom its work. I dont bring dates to it.
No one asks about my sons mother because people actually mind their own business.
quit reaching with this shit. I told you i keep my shit to myself. Work is for work not sharing my personal life
LeopoldBloom ยท M
@Torsten I'm sure not all of your co-workers are that reserved. Surely some of them have photos of their partners on their desk, or bring them to company gatherings, or at least talk about them. Do you tell the straight ones to stop shoving their sexual orientation down your throat when they do this, or you reserve this only for your gay co-workers?
Torsten ยท 36-40, M
@LeopoldBloom i dont know if there are any gay co workers because again, people keep their shit to themselves. I dont work in a office, there is no photos at desks.
I dont know why this is so hard for you to grasp.
Not everyone feels this idiotic need to share their sexuality with the world
LeopoldBloom ยท M
@Torsten You work in an unusual office. Where I work, people know about each others' husbands, wives, and partners. I guess you guys come in just to work and only discuss sports. So you're telling me that you have no idea if any of your co-workers are gay, straight, or trans? Or you just assume they're all straight?
Torsten ยท 36-40, M
@LeopoldBloom i just told you i dont work in a office and again i will tell you, people keep their shit to themselves. I dont care if they are gay, straight or trans. I have no interest in who they're fucking or what they claim to be. Its work not a social party
