Yes. I mean...I love LGBT pride. Everyone should be proud of who they are, or their race, or their culture, or whatever. We should also celebrate humanity though. I have mixed opinions on pride/history months because in the process of trying to balance the scale of equality you give one group special privilege for one month which doesn't necessarily send a message of equality. Nothing says "LGBT" people are equal to you an I like a month of people flaunting bracelets and parades and then hiding all that stuff in a closet for 11 more months. Ideally people would be proud of who they are every month, not just one. Just like how black history month should really be trying to push for black history year where black education is integrated properly into a broken as fuck US History curriculum. But that's neither here nor there.
I was just poking a little jest at the absurdity of it all. I doubt we will see resolution in our lifetime. Germy, I think most people are good people and they love their fellow man. I think we just get distracted by things like skin color and genital preference.
