Obama declares June "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month" - Polidicks

Votes

Oh for fuck's sake. Why does shit like this exist? I'm not a homophobe or anything, some of my friends are gay, but why is there a need to dedicate a month to it? It's not like there's a heterosexual pride month, because it'd be just as pointless as this.

:woop:

[QUOTE=evilweazel;22234225]Majorities are bad it is bad for us to say what we like.[/QUOTE] That would be democratic. We can't have that.

[QUOTE=Lambeth;22252202]being gay =/= down syndrome[/QUOTE] I understand that, but if you had bothered to read what I was replying to, you'd understand what I was trying to say. This is no LGBT awareness month, it's a pride month. It's not a month for everyone to understand the hardships gays go through and why they are, it's to make them feel good about themselves. I'll admit, I'm angry that LGBT get this month, but only because there's so much other shit going on in this world like the war and the oil spill that I could never imaging Obama wasting time on something stupid like this.

[QUOTE=evilweazel;22234022]So where's my straight pride month?[/QUOTE] Got some good news. It's not a month and it lasts from July to May. :colbert:

This is about uniting gay people together and showing support, as well as bringing awareness. There is no need to unite straight people together to support each other, any reason to support straight people, and we certainly know straight people exist. Shut up about this already.

For fuck's sake what a retard. Why don't we make November lesbain month, and October bondage lovers month.

:q:

This is stupid, people say they don't want to be singled out negatively, but being highlighted in a positive way is just fine. All these "month" things are stupid.

Fuck. My birthday is on June. Not that I have anything against gays, lesbians and transsexuals.

Don't make third party reasons to do things cause all it does is pisses off the general populace. Also I regulate by saying this. Awareness for what? Sexuality. Hold on let me get Obama on the phone. Hey Obama! Furries are oppressed as being sexual freak shows, and are often attacked vocally as being naturally born with zoophilia! We need a month dedicated too show support for them! You see something wrong with that? It's not uniting,fixing,or solving anything, but in fact it's making things worse cause more people are aware of it then. Solve issues before making celebration for it.

[QUOTE=Zachary1392;22258834]Being a furry is an actual choice.[/QUOTE] Maybe it is maybe it's not. Who knows?! Maybe I was born Furry. People can chose to be it or are born it.

[QUOTE=JoeSkylynx;22258927]Maybe it is maybe it's not. Who knows?! Maybe I was born Furry. People can chose to be it or are born it.[/QUOTE] Oh dear.

No offense to any LGBT'ers that's my view on it. Some chose to be it. Some are born it.

itt: white straight males with a persecution complex

The word 'pride' always gets me. They should use a different word. I've never thought of pride as a good thing. Let's look up pride in the thesaurus: Synonyms: arrogance, conceit, smugness, self-importance, egotism, vanity, immodesty, superiority Antonym: humility

But seriously, how is making a month for gays going to change the way the world percieves them? No, it won't.

It lets gay people out there who feel like they're dirty and wrong a message that there's nothing wrong with being gay and allows them to celebrate their difference.

Heteros haven't suffered persecution, heteros don't get thrown out of home for being straight, heteros don't get fired from work for being straight, heteros don't have to lie about their sexuality to avoid their friends and family hating them, and thus find themselves unable to get a partner, heteros don't ever get hung up on when they call a hotel and ask for a room for a female and a male, heteros don't get beaten up when people find out they're straight.
