ABOUT
My main goal is to provide you the tools to rationally share your opinion on tough topics.
I've adopted the mindset that you can either be a victim of your past or a victor of your future and that at some point, you have to move forward in your life and accept that you are the present manifestation of the past.
I'll always be here to share my thoughts and offer a new perspective on tough topics. From politics to culture and self-development to new ideas, I'm here to talk about it all.

How is public nudity legal for pride events, but women are getting arrested for breastfeeding their infants?
I know right 💯‼️
Mix of corporate wants you to give your baby their formula and law enforcement being cruel to women
The oversexualisation of gay people is insane. The gov has set rules for straight people & they are always expected to behave properly, yet for some reason all those rules go out the window for gay people.
It feels like, we as a society have said… “well, they’re gay, we won’t expect much from them now, but we will use them politically as hard as we can”
Don’t they realize how much they are being used?
Most states its Legal for a woman to publicly breastfeed her baby. Im 23 weeks pregnant and wanted to make sure Kentucky was pro woman and they are. Its interesting though if other states have banned public breastfeeding and allow this crap. That shit be wild
The only people who are offended by public breast feeding are Karen’s who can’t have kids and 9 yo boys
"We're here, we're queer, we're coming for your children"
This sounds more like a threat than anything else.
Sounds like a pxdophile am I right?
Fr, it sounds like a theme for pedophiles instead a team for gay people. What is wrong with people this days.....
🙄
A nonsexual threat, but a deranged threat all the same!!
I think that’s because it is a threat against the perceived “enemy” that they think parents are.
“We’re coming for your children!” Is usually something you don’t want to say
Hey pim yeah I wouldn’t be screaming that out loud
I absolutely despise it. No wonder so many people have such a bad image about us!

@@LowValueMan that has absolutely nothing to do with what I commented
My dad's former coworker/friend came out as gay to him a few years ago. I always wondered why he never had any special person in his life. He'd spend time with my parents and I on vacations. It was always an awesome and fun time with him. I saw him as another fun and cool uncle in my life. When he came out as gay, it finally clicked why he hasn't found a partner. He's a gay conservative and it's typically hard to find someone like that. We were talking and he was talking to me about how he never really cared much for pride month and pride parades. He just has a mindset of wanting to be left alone and to be able to live his life. He doesn't want to feel special because he's gay, he just wants to be part of society. I love him for him. I never thought that I should treat him any different growing up and now as an adult, I don't treat him any different now too.
As it should be. View them as person with their own personality.
As one who clicked your 100th like, I'm glad to say that I agree with you and your uncle😎
How old is he ? Is he still single... Seems to share my value ❤😅
I’m the same way. It’s so embarrassing and honestly degrading. Pride is something I will never want to be a part of.
I am another uncle. Dito.
Exposing kids to sexuality before puberty is traumatizing.
YES! Espiacally the "before puberty" part because only then is when you can truly know your sexuallity for sure. Teaching before is just indoctrinating them, no need for sxual preference at a young age.
I am an 80s kid and a 90s teen, so I understand what you mean. They inundated us with so much smut that even supposedly family-friendly shows couldn't escape it.
of any sexuality, yeah!
Yea like the virgin birth of Jesus right?
@@chefalex3lmao.
There are a few other things that go a long with that.
"Leave the kids alone" should not be a controversial phrase
It’s going to be cause the presumption that coming with it. It’s an issue that you presume we want your kids. It’s controversial cause it’s clearly following the typical 1940s-1950s gay groomer propaganda narrative.
We clearly see the bullshit lies that come with that statement. So it’s always going to be controversial to say that
@@miasparks167 who is we?
"Leave the kids alone" doesn't reference anyone other than kids needing to be left alone.
You presumed this was about you.
You made this controversial.
It’s interesting, depending on the context it’s being used in. True, leaving most kids alone is fine; we shouldn’t be actively telling kids that queer people are fantastic and amazing; if they ask, we can just tell them that it’s normal and nothing to be ashamed of. As a queer teenager, there are SO many positive sides to the queer community. But there are so many negatives. The problem with the ‘leave the kids alone’ is when kids ASK and people automatically assume they’re ’being indoctrinated’ because they ask about queer people. I think that’s what most people refer to when they think of that- I know it is when I do.
@@TerranPlanetaryDefenseForce No it’s clearly about LGBTQ community. It’s clear when that statement is said that’s it’s based off that outdated assumption.
Clearly when anytime queer and trans people speak to children/teens on the issue or when speaking of queer/trans youth period. So don’t try to play that line.
Point blank that queer and trans people don’t need to moderate their existence for your children. Queer/trans people existence isn’t inherently adult so the topic can be aware amongst children and children themselves can potentially be so.
They should have an understanding that’s it’s okay if they are. I get you might be tired of overzealous advocacy but honestly it’s a response to the still relevant hard right wing evangelicals. Address them and honestly you’d address most of the “extremist radical activists” from the lgbtq.
@@miasparks167 Kinda weird that when I say "Leave kids alone" your mind immediately makes that statement about the LGBT community. Seems like you're trying to make the shoe fit.
"Leave the kids alone" applies to EVERYONE.
Just let kids have their damn childhood.
Once they hit puberty and their sexuality DLC gets installed, they'll have the opportunity to figure it out then, but until that happens just leave the kids alone. Keep them out of politics, keep them out of discussions about sexuality and gender. Keep them out of all of our bullshit.
Just let kids play and be innocent for a while - unbothered by the world's boundless complexities and problems. Let them be carefree and happy while they can still have a childhood.
I remember 30 years ago when Evangelical Christians warned that gays would come for the children. As a gay man, it made me mad at the time because I could not comprehend that ever happening. Yet it is happening. I am horrified. This is wrong.
@@mysticaltyger2009 yet how many evangelicals were harming and sexualizing children when making that statement? lol sort of losing the traction.
Though you’re seriously delusional if you see any “coming for their children”
Always beware someone calling this the “slippery slope fallacy.” For those of us who are old enough, it’s happening right before our eyes.
Yep, they were absolutely right about the slippery slope which is why I withdrew all my support from anything lgbtq related.
@@mysticaltyger2009 It’s still not happening. If you’re buying what evangelicals are saying. You have some critical thinking issues.
@@Veracityseeker7 Support wasn’t needed anyways
as a gay woman, i love this man. he has so many of the same view points that i have, which i thought i was alone in. PREACHHHH 🗣️🗣️🗣️
it's so satisfying to find other lgbt people with the same line of thought, isn't it? haha I feel relieved, thank God I'm not alone in this 🗣️
@@talvezrafael REALLL
As a gay man in my sixties i remember most gay people I knew in the day just wanted to be part of general society , no special status , no forced acceptance, no in your face shit and no flag. I am an individual no group represents me.
I’m a 66 old gay man and I feel just like you…
As someone that moved from a highly liberal area to a more conservative one, that's exactly what I see happening. Everyone is just a normal person and then every so often youll hear a man mention their boyfriend or a woman mention their girlfriend and no one bats an eye. Especially this summer, the 95/95 heat/humidity has been way more important of a conversation than any of our sexualities. Im not even seeing people that associate with the movement anymore, its just all "yeah, theyre kinda crazy and I dont feel represented anymore"
I wish it could be like this. I am a young woman who is attracted to both genders not that they/them crap. But I wish it wasn’t as big of a cult as it is made out to be today.
I'm 26 and I feel the same way. I'm just a person who happened to turn out gay. I don't even tell people I am either unless it comes up naturally in a conversation like if they were to ask if I had a girlfriend or something similar.
I get hate speech when I make the similar comment that they are not the problem it’s the other letters who act like toddlers who don’t get what they want. But what rights do they want that everyone else already has. Indecent exposure and rape are a crime they should be punished for not awarded.
I dream of a world where if someone says "I'm gay", the overwhelming majority response is "so what?"
Or "ok"
When someone tells me they're gay I tell them "ok?" I'll tell them " we accept you" and then I'll go back to eating my cookie
so true. but sadly these pride parades are impeding that dream. mind boggling those people cant see that!!!!!
I feel like this is the main goal for most gay people - be considered normal and not special life form. And those parades are making this goal very hard to achieve cuz those parades are deranged.
People in general are self absorbed, so in their mind every random features they inherited (color of the skin, orientation, nationality, etc) have some special power that makes them "so special". I will never understand the "pride" bs movement, like you actively did something in order to be american, white, gay, straight, bi, tall, short, blue eyed, full of hair and so on. "I'm so proud of my white skin", "I'm so proud of being tall", "I'm so proud of being gay", "I'm so proud of being black", sure buddy, you've accomplished your genetics features due to an incredible work and personal struggle. I'm so proud of my hair, wtf does it even means ? Being "proud" of your genetics, whatever your genetics is, is one of the dmbst concept I've ever heard of. I hope one day we will consider s orientation, color of the skin and all the other random features we inherited as something neutral, irrelevant.
Not doing kink in front of children is not "subjugation"; it is the bare minimum of acceptable behavior. This constant victim pose is such a lie.
True. If we want to be accepted as equals to straights then we should act as they do in public; I sure as hell dont see any straight people celebrating their kinks and fetishes in public in their parades.
You have no idea how happy it makes me to hear and see more people in the LGBT community speaking up about this. I was just having a conversation about this with my boyfriend the other day. As a bi-woman, I agree 100% with you. I grew up in a lesbian household, and I didn’t even know what a lesbian was until I entered 8th grade and started seeing it at school. What does that tell you? My aunts NEVER did any type of pda in front of me, ever, not even hold hands. They lived together but that was it. Once I became an adult, that’s when she started being a little more open about it, but it was because I was no longer an impressionable kid. She stated to me, “if you turn out to be gay…it should be because of you, not because of me imposing my way of life upon you.” Why isn’t every lgbt member thinking this way?? Or was that just an X-gen LGBT thing that died with the newer generations?
Girl that's wrong on so many levels.
@@Diannaxp By your aunts notions and seemingly your own.
Then the straight adults around you I’m sure didn’t curtail their pda. Then very much potentially grooming you.
So I reject this entire notion of yours
Living around openly gay people in your childhood does not make you gay
Very interesting point! Sexuality shouldn't come before responsibility and common sense, it's so sad some are using it as an excuse to do whatever they want, and powerful people are ready to instrumentalise it
@@Diannaxp I find it weird that you’re emphasizing how your lesbian aunts didn’t express their love.
Just cause you were a kid didn’t mean you couldn’t see affection. Did you not see plenty of straight people doing pda when you were a young impressionable kid?
That’s why nobody thinking that way. It’s regressive and restrictive and for no good reason.
Even as a joke, "were coming for your children" is not f'ing funny...
EDIT: The longer this video has been up, the more traction its getting. "Satire" or not, "joke" or not, everyone is in complete unison that children need to be left alone, not a good look for people to be in the streets flying a specific flag saying they're coming for children. Horrible optics, and the people supporting it want to act confused when everyone else finds it disgusting...
It's not anymore.
This is the side that restricts speech because "jokes can have real life consequences" but they somehow can't see it here
@rosegirl5019 THAT’S what I’ve been saying!! People can lose their jobs over a joke about trans people, but they can joke about coming for your children?
@@playedit0ut290never was
@@mollygrace3068yes because one joke is made towards grown fucking adults that show know better where as the other side are joking about coming after literal children. Try justifying that now zipper tit sympathizer
As a gay person, I just want to live my life as normal as anybody else. I don't want to live my life like a circus.
As a bisexual gender fluid person, I agree, I don’t want to be treated like a special snowflake, I want to be treated as a normal person. I hate how being in a minority is now some quirky personality trait instead of just a thing you’re born with.
you represent yourself. it's easy to forget so I'll remind you
I support this and am straight but that he flashed, i dont support that, keep the kids away from all that, teach the kids respect instead of that, that nudity in public isnt supposed to be proud of.
You fundamentally will never be normal and never be accepted as normal
@@Theweirdunicorn69you aren’t normal and never will be seen as such, you made your bed, now lay in it
I’m only 17 and lived in Korea almost all my life, but I’m familiar with Western culture, speak English, etc. and I’m lesbian. I wanted to attend Pride later bc it seemed so much fun and so freeing from the TikToks I saw few years ago so it’s sad to see everything being so radicalized everywhere and the community gaining worse reputations. As much as I love queer joy and celebrating I think it’s still an ongoing protest (mostly in conservative countries where gay marriage is still illegal), so I hope a lot of people get their shit together and one day we as a society can reach a point where everyone’s treated just as equal regardless of whatever. Excessively loud and radical people on either side scare me…
Im so glad more people who are part of the community are speaking out. It hard for me to point out things when being straight.
yes like i've always had a gut feeling suspicion
“We’re coming for your children” is where any group would immediately lose the respect of public opinion for themselves

I’m gen x. Being gay, and pride is nothing like when I was a young man. It’s a bunch of freaks now. We use to say , I’m gay, leave me be. Now it’s , I’m gay, look at me !
and it used to be activism back in the day. now its a clown show
Same I'm gen x oldskool gay and what pride has become is nothing to do with what it should be about.
Interesting observation
Not a lot of people know history of that pride existed before in 1930 germany; they annoyed society so much that we all saw what happened to them
They're the "extremists" but now unfortunately everyone els is most likely getting back lash for everything they do wrong, i am straight but still see this in this specific situation as well as things like racial profiling, "extremists" in religion, its always the few or fakes who ruine it for everyone els its not fair and idc if people say life isnt fair, yeh *life* isnt fair, that doesn't give humans the right to make things worse
My best friend is trans. She transitioned about 10 years ago after she retired. Those laws do affect her. She recently moved from a conservative state to a state that is accepting of trans people. She feels much more comfortable and shes very happy. Shes an older trans woman and she dresses conservativly. Shes not flamboyant and she has many friends. She is accepted wherever she goes.
She*
Awww lovely
How did they affect her?
I live in Oklahoma, a very conservative state. There are plenty of trans everywhere here. Even in my small town. They don't get treated differently. They are just another human being living their life.
As a person who is gay, My grandma had taught be to be who I am but not make it my whole personality. In her words she said about her own sexuality "I'm bisexual but that not all" ...She had taught me that I am what I am and don't need to label myself to be what I am. I don't need a community to vouch or fight for me.
Exhibit A that homosexuality is taught, not innate to a person. You never stood a chance to be normal
I’m 65 and gay. Stopped going to pride parades in my forties because it was embarrassing to be associated with the vulgarity. It just doesn’t represent me.
I’m so glad we are not capitulating to entertain those that abide by prudish standards. Oh no… the world isn’t family friendly. Get the fuck over it.
I wish more people like you would speak up more
@@Catherine-mc8ql Prudish/sex avoidant queer/trans people aren’t going to help your point any.

"How do you want to be respected when you don't even respect yourself!"
PREACH
Yeah, I don't think showcasing your body parts is "respecting yourself" for sure. xD
That's almost showing more insecurity than simply covering up. Like you want people to scream and shout because you just took off your pants and flashed your junk...I would be screaming and shouting, but not in the way you'd want.
@@betzyberumen6910 Cause I’m a violent person to disrespect. So don’t respect me and see where it goes.
Sexual expression doesn’t mean people don’t respect themselves. Just outdated notions of “modesty” by evangelicals.

The way I have to explain my family and my friends that I am a conservative normal gay guy was more difficult than coming out. I remember last year I went to get a coffee on Starbucks and during pride month a girl was giving small rainbow flags and I said “no thanks” after those words she literally started screaming at me calling me homophobic and then other people joined her crazy mental breakdown. I told them “im gay but im not like you” they got so crazy and thanks god that the guy who works there knows me so he defends me. The way I left the building with people defending me was crazy, I felt like Britney Spears living with her bodyguards 😂.
Sir I do not know you ,I have never even seen you before, but I have SOOOOO MUCH RESPECT and APPRECIATION for you! Not only for the facts that you have very sensible beliefs and clearly A BRIGHT MIND AND A LOGICAL HEAD ON YOUR SHOULDERS but also your courage to stand up and speak some REASON in this world of fear,terror and general chaos.
Like my sister says, “Being gay is only a small part of me, it’s not WHO I am”. She is on the exact same page as you on this subject.
Same for me, but I’m not worrying about that stuff yet because I have other things to worry about
That’s always been my stance and now it’s controversial to say that.
Honestly, making any one aspect of yourself your entire self is pretty unhealthy. Be OT your job, religion or sexuality
Nah all lesbians are copy pastes, your sister is no different. Want me to prove it? She’s pro abortion for sure
Nah all of the Ls are copy pastes, your sister is no exception
Being called a homophobe, as a gay man, showed me the direction all of this is going. It's absolutely ridiculous that we cannot think for ourselves and we must join and side with all of these sects. I remember when LGB community was inclusive and all about spreading love and acceptance, I feel like the rest of the alphabet has hijacked it and is now about forcing things upon others. Respect is earned, not freely given, and people need to realize this I think.
You should call them a homophobe for fetishizing/sexualizing homosexuality.
what the fuck? really? this is absurd.
I disagree. Doesn't seem ubsurd to me by any stretch of the imagination. Absurd to me, it seems would be more along the lines of denying the truth of what was said.....we don't all have to agree, but we do need to acknowledge the truth and reality. We should find a middle ground. I realize there's always the exceptions to the rules. But it's hard not to see the push happening to literally shove this narrative down everyone's throats. That isn't how you gain any real acceptance. As with respect, it is earned. What is happening isn't helping anyone. @THECONTINENTALMAN
@@WhatTheWHAT524 no i mean, it's absurd gay people are called homophobic. but if you got my comment, i'm sorry.
The straights parading as queer have taken over. Who else but straights would claim we are bigots bc we aren’t attracted to TIMs or TIFs? Who else but straights say our sexuality is a genital preference?
It’s a relief to hear that not ALL of the community is on board with this. I only have a few gay acquaintances but the topic isn’t one that we really discuss.
It can be very hard to gauge reality vs what the media is showing- particularly when you don’t have much real world experience or interaction to verify the claims.
Thank you!
Thank you so much for your intelligent, honest, and brave commentary. The parallels you make between marginalized groups are remarkable. I'm old enough to know that you have/had an incredibly empathetic, supportive, and loving tribe surrounding you. This mentality and careful thought process are what we ALL need in such a bad way! Please keep up what you are doing! As a teacher, our youth need more leaders and speakers like yourself. You are making someone very proud! So happy I found your channel!
My daughter who is 32 and is engaged to a women does not want anything to do with the rainbow flag nor pride celebrations. She is steering away from it all.
As a young bisexual woman so am I ( also I hope you and your daughter are happy! And I hope she has a wonderful wedding when the time comes )
Congratulations 🎊 on your daughter's engagement. Your daughter is wise and knows nothing good can come of all this gay pride 🏳️🌈 nonsense. I say this as a gay man myself born in the 60s .
Im a 27 year old lesbian and I agree with your daughter. I want nothing to do with the rainbow flag or Pride anymore.
Congrats to her on the engagement! I’m also stepping back from all this.
As an aroace who is also sex repulsed, I'm totally fine just being who I am without all the parades and such. Never went to a single pride event, but if people are gonna bring in kinks and fetishes I want out anyway. Plus there's more than just a month to celebrate yourself - do it every day! And that goes for everyone, bi, gay, straight, ace, or otherwise~ :D
If these were "straight" parades with people half/fully naked talking about it being "family friendly" and coming after your children, there would be an uproar! These people would get roasted. Absolutely insane how far everything has gone.
They'd be in jail as registered sa
Especially white straight men
I'm almost certain the coming for your kids thing is a tongue in cheek joke about anti LGBT people saying that they're coming for their kids.. but it us a really horrid look and they should lay off of it.

Somewhat unrelated but THANK YOU FOR TALKING FAST. So many youtubers speak so slow it makes their videos aggravating to listen to but you maintain a perfect talking speed
If we try to talk to them they say you are homophobes
having sexuality be your whole personality Is honestly pretty crazy. I am a firm believer that the crazy queer people in these parades are victims of deer rooted trauma.
Annnnd, now they're projecting it on to literal children. Poor kids, honestly..
They say us straight ppl are toxic ppl who should be separated by children, while them sharing a literally CHILD who's probably under age of 10, how to have same gender sex
@@Cthulu_699yeah and Star Wars fans figured out the liberal manipulation tactics for these things like the pride parades bc feminism took over Star wars😂 so first step is they’ll gaslight you and tell you nothing is happening, 2 they’ll say something is happening after some time but it’s no big deal, than once all the damage has hit they pull the “let us exist you bigot” so for the pride stuff they’ll just try to traumatize all these kids and in 20 years once all the lgbtq trauma documentaries come out you’ll hear “let us exist you bigot”
@@Cthulu_699that’s also why even today you still have liberals that will put their hand on a bible and say that there’s no child indoctrination for the lgbtq💀 bc they’re using the manipulation tactics of “acting like nothing is happening”

I AM GRATEFUL FOR YOUR PERSPECTIVE! The school our daughter went to started transitioning her without our knowledge and we are absolutely heart broken because they are not only lying to children, telling them they are a boy when they are not, but lying to us the parents who are trying to protect our children's well being. If you're gay, be gay, I don't care who you love but forcing this stuff down our throats is disgusting. I literally don't care what an adult does to themselves, but targeting children is literally trying to "normalize" pedafileism. But honestly, the parents that promote this crap too should be ashamed of themselves! Their own kids can't trust them to have their best interests in mind and feel protected by them. I really do appreciate this video and support this reality. Thank you and God bless
@@jessicamere4632 Are you calling transitioning the same as normalizing pedophile.
Honestly the comparison is enough to get you decked. Which given the response. Kinda the reason I’m sure the information was obscured from you given your bias.
I like the topics and your "unpopular" opinion on subjects its a breath of fresh air. Not someone being hateful, just thinking critical. I love it.
If straight people were doing the same stuff, I'd be just as angry. So why am I not allowed to be angry at people (parents and attendees) for twerking and wearing literal BDSM attire in front of children? Sexuality has nothing to do with why I'm upset at these events.
You should be more upset over Catholic Priests still SAing children. Oh wait I forgot Christians can do no wrong and we have to blame literally everything on gay people because Jesus said so, even though he literally did not.
No. You are not allowed
Yeah, this isn't helping gay people win the right to adopt kids.
Child marriage where's your rage weirdo
You're allowed. I'm trans and pansexual, and I'm pissed at this. I'm on the side of children shouldn't be exposed to ANY form of this until they've reached puberty where there parents or guardians can sit them down and give them the talk. At that point, there bodies are changing and if they tell you to your face they like a certain gender with who they like, boys, girls, etc. then let them just make sure they're 100% aware of what they'd be getting into including the bad side because by that point they're likely teenagers starting to get a grasp of what love is and should be allowed to do so. BUT NEVER WHEN THEY"RE REALLY YOUNG CHILDREN. Freaking heck! Those are CHILDREN! Leave 'em alone!
We have a saying in Germany. "If you give them your little finger, they gonna take your whole hand". First it was tolerance. Then acceptance. Now it's "You better allow us to do whatever we want or we will crush you!", while still playing the victim. I'm gay myself and I'm in shock
The American version of that phrase is "give them an inch and they'll take a mile". I've never thought about nations who don't use the Imperial system having their own version of the phrase.
@@Eaomi ¿"Las el mano"? That's not Spanish at all. I guess you meant 'Les das la mano'. And yes, brushing that aside, I agree with your point.

@@megsley No the ones who don't like pride in America are just hidden unfortunately. I'm American, also trans and pansexual, and I don't like pride. It used to be fun, everyone used to be all smiles and it used to be a time where you could go out with your friends and dress as colorful as you wanted and just have a good time...not it's just...disgusting. Children should not be exposed to this, and we need to get this off the streets. Turn it into a history month or something instead, that at least would be more helpful than whatever....that...is.
I'm straight and was a big supporter of LGBT and Pride months for years. I have several gay friends, some bi and a trans. And year after year I see myself and a couple of my friends growing more and more distant from this movement and disagree with it more and more.
Your perspective is so important. It was refreshing to hear you talk about these various issues and emphasize your distain for the way some people are obviously targeting children. With family & friends rooted in traditional/ religious backgrounds, the number one concern I always hear about is the hyper-sexualization of kids. Not who you want to sleep with or marry. There’s a growing sentiment that mental illness is a rampant element of the community, and when you see these emotionally unhinged individuals crying about being accepted by kids it’s not hard to see why. The one guy was right, it’s not good optically, and inadvertently hurts the community long term. Every group has its crazies, but it’s important that they be called out as crazy to distinguish between people struggling to get past their trauma and a community that just wants to be allowed to exist.
Straight as hell over here but have plenty of LGBTQ+ friends and family members who I love dearly. My birthday is 6/9 and EVERY YEAR I go into stores during Pride Month and I instantly think this!!! Like if I WAS gay I’d almost be insulted by the pandering….stop CAPITALIZING on peoples sexuality and identity, it’s gross!!!!
Businesses do it because it works really well and people eat that sh*t up
I heard a CZcams ad say, "there aren't many female entrepreneurs, so we've made a platform to manage and excel your business" or whatever sales pitch. For a price .
And CoD having trans bullets. For a price.
Who has more integrity? The person who hired a LGBT person to make jeans that appeal to those people, but advertises them as just jeans? Or the company that has no LGBT staff but says "made with you, by you, for you! LGBT Jeans, at your nearest store!"
Basically people seen as transportable billboards.
I have a dear friend who happens to be a lesbian. Ive been to pride with her & i also live near st pete florida & it has a huge gay culture. I used to love being part of it. Now that its turned into a marxist political machine, i dont want to be associated with it at all, & neither does my friend. It turned weird. 😮
This is actually a big meme/discussion in the community. Nobody likes it. Its pandering and they just want your money. Either sell it/be supportive year round, or don't do it at all.
It is gross and has ruined a great thing. I will maintain, as I have since first hearing it, that the “we’re coming for your children” is a tongue in cheek response to what the gay community was historically accused of doing in the past… the other focus on children is oddly extra. Def comes across as uncomfortable.
The fact that there are so many people from the LGBTQ community criticizing people from the SAME community, speaks volumes... I repeat, speaks volumes.
The truth is closer than we think, as a homophobe I tolerate gays and lesbians, I do not want their destruction, I think Pride Mount is just a political project.
it's natural groups of people have disagreements about how ridiculous they can be. some gays decide to stay quiet about it entirely while others are down for these parades, and that creates a divide who likes the.. freaky stuff and who just wants to be happy around fellow queers. it's pretty usual. a lot of fanbases split about opinions on stuff too.
Honestly it doesn’t. Not everyone who’s apart of the community has to be apart of these parades. Everyone who have eyes to see, understand what’s going down in and at these parades.
I watched a news report from 1982 about the Pride Parade in Houston and even back then there were gays who did not support it because they simply lived there lives and who they like to have sex with was a private issue.
Can we make the bedroom private again?
Like freak fest better, this is not who I am ,not promiscuity, where is the respect??? tearing it all down, children should not be targeted ,children should not be seeing this fetish behaviour, how does this behaviour help with total acceptance
As a black queer person, I appreciate that you are level headed in this community. It’s nice to know I’m not the only one fed up with this bullshti.
Thanks for speaking on this. It's great to see I'm not fully alone on all this.
I came out in the early sixties. Did we fight for acceptance and respect to wind up now presenting ourselves in EXACTLY the way the straight society envisioned us back then?
That's what I don't get either. It's become a caricature of what gay people are 😔
Great point. As a conservative heterosexual, my instinct has always been that this modern movement is patronizing of true gay pride.
@@romantic_hippie like how trans women present themselves: charicatures of women, and usually very loose ones, at that. It's actually pretty insulting and embarrassing for a woman to watch.
@@kilikdudleyas a lesbian in my late 20s, I feel like you're spot-on.
Ooooooh. ...harvey milk would enraged if he see the pride right now.
There is no situation where “we’re coming for your children” doesn’t sound diabolical.
As a gay teacher, i do not endorse taking any child to pride as it is. I would love to take my children to pride if it was a healthy environment at all, but as the way it is now, we'll make pride at home. Keeping it all healthy and safe for them to interact. For children, these last years of pride parades are more dangerous to them than unsupervised internet.
Thank you so much for this video. Very thought-provoking!!
I went to one pride festival about 5 years back and we saw two men having sex on a balcony. It was in full view of children and everyone! People were cheering them on and then I left. It was too much and I couldn’t wrap my head around why someone would do that.
Good lord! Sadly, i believe you. This movement is becoming a problem.
Remember when there wasn't any parade I do

@@bobbobbo5278 the image is burned into my memory. We heard people hooting and hollering extra loud and we looked up an to the right and yeah two buck naked dudes going at it on a balcony. People were so excited it felt like a fever dream. We were there a whole 20 mins before we left. I’ve seen some wild things in public but that was something else lol
i remember like less than 10 years ago all we wanted was to be treated as equal and normal, but now none of these people act normal anymore, this is insane
I remember when being gay in the US was about equal rights and being accepted. And after being gay finally became legal it all went down hill, now that there's no battle to win it just fell into degeneracy.

I became disgusted with pride when leaving a skid mark on a pride flag painted in the street started carrying higher penalties than armed robbery.
Seriously, who paints a flag on a dirty street and expects it not to get filthy? Anyone who's seen Iran paint the US flag on the floor should know.
wow really? i didn't know about it...
@@kalkhalinzhui1753 12 cities including DC now. 3-10 years and is a felony. Unless a prosecutor can prove you intended to sell a stolen car its automatically joyriding with a maximum sentence of 12 months. GTA has a max of five years here now. So yeah I’m done. As another youtube channel I like puts it. Its not longer equal rights its super, god tier rights. Here the city claimed they paid 28k to have one of these “cross walk murals” painted. Frankly if that is true I want my tax money back and whoever approved it fired. I got a 1100’ driveway paved for less than that.
Ok, but wanting to compare crimes is nonsense. Instead of comparing both crimes, you could be actively fighting for a greater sentence for that crime and not trivialize the other. Painting LGBT flags is an act of hate and it supports horrible things, no matter how ridiculous and childish it may be.
@@Thundeeerzin compelling speech is worse. The public owns the road not a less than 5% segment of the population. Painting a mural on a public road regardless of the mural is willful stupidity. If painting the mural is “an act of speech” so is marring it. The constitution as written in the bill of rights clearly stipulates you can not favor one over the other. Ergo, painting the mural is as much an act of vandalism as leaving skid marks on it is. Considering it is a public road skid marks are expected, not non standard road markings that actually blur lines including lane dividers.
Furthermore, the left has made it very clear what sort of double standard they want in the legal system. One individual of twenty was just arrested for the seventeenth time in Baltimore for armed car jacking. His maximum sentence is less than Seattles mandatory minimum for leaving a skid mark in the wrong linear section of road.
You can not legislate peoples minds, nor their politics. The same people crying that we must tolerate Islamic Sharia law can not tolerate a skid mark, and the laws have been manipulated by WOKEists to reflect that. This is not equal protection under the law which is a civil rights violation.
As for comparisons, I certainly can and will compare them. A non violent “crime” vers a violent crime with the aggravating factor of a lethal weapon.
Then we might discuss the self exposure of the claimed “cost of repair”. Considering in DC the “pride walk” was made with public finding in clear violation of city appropriation laws that disavow any spending on political factions or promotions was 5000, and the city claimed it cost 30000 to “repair” the “pride walk” someone is cooking the books horribly. Lest we mention that these were tire skid marks made by non powered personal transports weighing less than 300 lbs GVW. As I recall from gym classes in my school days such skid marks can be removed by rubbing ones shoe across them.
Even if there was a hate motive, this is a grotesque power grab. This is a minority leveraging the outrage mob and permanent victim status for someones revenge fantasy. These are not “equal rights” this is god tier rights. Otherwise DC would not have ordered that burning someones Trump flags on their own property while they were still attached to the residence was “petty vandalism”. Actually according to DC law it was arson, trespassing, malicious destruction of property, reckless endangerment, and terroristic threats, like it was when people burned Bernie flags on a home literally 8 blocks from the Trump incident.
The law does not get to pick and choose based on personal politics.
Trump is an a$$ and wanna be dictator
Bernie is a communist schmuck
Biden is a geriatric
Yet you can not legislate one set of laws based on who supports one of those three vers another FULL STOP!
Paint something in a public road and expect skid marks.
Act like your in a circus and people will call you a clown.

as a educated straight female, I AGREE!
I’m late to the party, but I am a bi man and I have a monogamous partner (male) of 15 years. We lean towards the middle/conservative values politically. We have both straight, gay, and we have biological kids from us.
There is no way we would ever take our kids to a gay parade because of how sexualized it is. That is so traumatizing to a child. I’m an adult and I’m still traumatized by some of the stuff they allow. How is this okay?! Sex acts on the street…. If my child was curious about it and they were old enough to understand the culture a bit more I would maybe consider taking them just so they can understand what it is about because they will eventually do it anyway would be the only option but not ideal.
That said, we both do not enjoy gay pride nor believe in it. I understand the young population thinks of gay pride is like a fun party to attend. Also, a place to be socially accepted by people that have the same sexual orientation as you is of course welcoming but people forget that this community of people can be some of the most racist, sexist people I’ve ever met. The gay community is very visual and can be very toxic, if you don’t fit in their click, you’re literally just just a nobody.
We literally just want to raise our children, be good parents to them, and hoping they become good people, and hopefully they can do the same for their children.
Furthermore, there are homophobes on both sides of the political spectrum. Let’s not get it twisted that it’s only on the right.

Okay serious question. 14:08 For the "promiscuity" and "sexuality part.
1st. Are really being objective here? Are we taking this from an objective standpoint or injecting our morals into things? Figure that out first
2. NOBODY should be whipping out nothing!..at pride events or in general. However people sexualize bodies FAR too much, things like breasts are just mammory glands not sexual organs that shouldnt really be an issue to show in public except if the reason is just 'i want to be nude' fuck that. If your breastfeeding your child its just an organ ppl shouldnt be staring and judging. If your hot sure take off your shirt please try and wear a bra but it shouldnt be too big of a deal
So if nothings being 'whipped out' or just plain nude then showing skin at pride shouldnt be a big deal at all. Its the ppls over sexualization of certain things that make them feel odd about it. Acceptance in your body of your own skin is something they promote so its on brand for them
I’m gay and I get asked why I don’t like pride. This is why. And why let kids get involved? It’s gross and disgusting.

I hate the use of that word too. Honestly, given how regressive the "queer" community is and how none of their ideologies align with gay peoples' anymore, I would consider queer to still be a slur. A slur used by fake gays toward real gays.
I’m not even an adult yet and I had a friend go to a pride event and they tried to get me to tag along and I didn’t say no bc I didn’t support or am homophobic it’s bc she said there were drag queens and I was scared they’d be naked. That shouldn’t be a fear-

I just discovered your channel. You've got two new subscribers out of my partner and I. THANK YOU for talking openly about these important issues!

I absolutely hate the obsession with children some people have these days. And most pride events are not appropriate for children. I’ve known about my queer attractions since I was a preteen but…they were innocent crushes! I was a kid. The crushes weren’t sexual at all, and going to pride at that age would’ve traumatized me.
Exactly, there's a difference between having a crush than feeling sexual attraction!
We’ve all had childhood relationships at one point. None of them sexual. But looking at all this now? I’m starting to think people are knocked wrong in the head
I'm straight and always hated gross hetero adults trying to make kids participate in adult things. It ruined my childhood in a way.

@@josephblue4135 top ten questions science still can’t answer
As a gay man, I never feel MORE isolated and depressed when I hang out with other LGBTQ. When I was young, I often thought that coming out and join the community, I will be embraced for me being me. But I was so wrong. There is so, so much judgements and bigotry throw toward me simple because I wasn't a typical gay person. Gay dudes openly making racist comment about my penis's side simple I'm being Asian. Other look at me with disgust simply because I dressed in cheap clothes because I can't afford it. Other calling me "racist" simply because I am not interested in their sexual advance. The older I get, the more I realize the colossal irony of a community preaching about inclusitivity and yet spend so much time excluding people simple because we don't fit into their own typical "LGBTQ" stereotypes, to which is even a bigger irony is that these "stereotypes" are exactly what the homophobia thought about gay people. So the LGBTQ people literally construct their own identity base on what the homophobia think about them.
I feel you. As a gay man myself, I feel very uneasy and awkward when I'm around other LGBT people. I feel like they're completely different from me.
Especially the TQ+ of the community.
The "community" has no use for old Gays unless they are rich and willing to pay to have plastic mean Spirited people for friends.
I used to be what was called a f.. hag. I was always hanging out with flamboyant men. I had to stop because I had no stomach for the outright cattiness and rude behavior. The non stop snarkiness was exhausting. I also felt underlying resentment and even a thread of violence towards me because I was an attractive woman. FYI, rarely have I hung out with a man who was so gay he didn't want to at least feel up on me or kiss me. And they felt absolutely comfortable straight up assaulting.
Not based on what homophobia think but wake up! That’s who they are!

Thank you for speaking up! Whenever I share my opinion on gaypride parades (which is perfectly in line with your opinion), I get looked at weirdly, as if im not accepting of the queer community. This is not the case, i am just unaccepting of indecent behaviour by ANY person of ANY community. I just kept myself neutral in the conversations from then onward, which is hard since I do think its very important to talk about. Im so thankful you are doing it, also as someone who is in the community and understands it better. Very valuable to everyone, especially because I think addressing this will be in favour of overall queer acceptance 🏳️🌈
My 17yr old granddaughter refused to go to Pride, even though me and my daughter said we'd go with her, she said "I just can't be bothered with all the non-binaries"
That's so real. I hate when the nons try to act different and misunderstood for calling themselves trans while not taking the effort to appear as the opposite sex. And I'm a 17 yr old gay male, so I TOTALLY relate

@@vstoneman Technically, they don’t have to. The term “transgender” means a person who identifies as something different from their assigned gender. Non binary is a big umbrella, there’s fems, mascs, and inbetween. It all really depends on how they express it.
Except I do get your point. Using both the enby and trans labels in one sentence when describing their gender to someone can be seen as “Hey guys, I’m ✨different✨!”
But honestly, I don’t really give a crap. As long as they truly understand what the labels mean and identify with them, I’m chill. (Just as long as they don’t make it their entire personality, as a trans boy, that PISSES ME OFF.)
They say it's a "culture" and then say you can't criticize it.
Which makes 0 sense. A culture is not immutable, it is a series of values, attitudes, behaviors and beliefs. It's our right to criticize any culture.
Hell, I am white and straight. Everyone is criticizing me for shit I have nothing to do with and for shit I treasure and am proud of. Today's villain is tomorrow's victim and vice versa.
Exactly. Sexual orientation is generally an immutable characteristic. I'm all for rights for LGB people. But that's not the rights to drop your pants in public it's the rights to have sexual and romantic relationships with the gender of your choice

I’ve been ridiculed before for telling other queers that I hate pride. I’ve never been to a parade, but I’ve been to festivals just to support the local businesses. The festival I go to has almost an entire block of churches that promote bring a safe space to worship. There are local healthcare providers and therapists with resources for transitioning and other wellness needs, and it’s all very calm. I’ve never seen more than one protester, I’ve never seen anyone even close to being naked, all the drag queens are wearing long dresses and stuff that is very non-revealing. I’ve seen maybe two people show up in slightly revealing clothing, and they were asked to put something on over it. Locals talk about the history of gay rights in the area, in schools, and in the workplace. This is the kind of pride I want to see. It’s people coming together to celebrate the acceptance and history of a community, not a kinkfest.
I want both cause both are right.
Also I’d be telling those that asked to cover up to mind their own buisnesses. I’m going to assume you’re from a smaller city from sounds of it.
Resources for transitioning ???
@@Tara-zq3il I’m not sure why you’re confused on that. Are you wondering what exactly that means?
It can reference a lot of things. As simple as support groups, or up to programs that help fund certain aspects of medical transitioning.
Then the many things it could mean between that. To me the biggest resources for transitioning is ensuring employment; housing, and education discrimination protections include sexual orentstion & gender identity.
Thus help with economic stability of community. Which should lessen the amount of help our community needs if we can find economic stability cause artbitary social norms of yesteryear aren’t preceding our actual work ethics/productiviry
@@miasparks167 I'm not confused, You can't transition from one sex to another !!!

these people in those parades need to realize that being born gay means letting the kid actually GROW UP and learn naturally about thier identity not force feeding them information that they don't need to know at their young age
In time they will come to figure out their identity even if the road to get there takes some twists and turns. I remember as I was growing up there was a time where I definitely felt bisexual. I had a crush on a girl while at the same time also finding guys attractive. I then later on came to find out that I'm just gay and I don't have any attraction to women. It was confusing for a while but that's the magic of life.
Well, that isn't their goal. They want to quite literally sexually corrupt children. They genuinely resemble a chaos demon cult from Warhammer 40k. This is why they're already doomed, it's over. The fact it's already happened means the backlash will be doubly or triply worse than what anyone thinks will have happened before.

A movement rooted in freedom and liberty (so long as you fall in lockstep and think and behave in the authorised way)
Omg thank you for bringing this up I was getting scared for my kids and future grandkids, I took it negatively. I was abused by both parents sexually and it and absolutely have ptsd for kids etc… thank you for clarifying this 💚
first off, I'm a CATHOLIC conservative so my opinions are a bit different than a few of y'all probably, but that's just to clarify. but anyhow, I just find it absolutely astounding, like it's not even laughable at this point due to the absurdity, why the hell is everyone so happy to push the boundaries of freedom, and not only that but they also speak ill of the country that gives them freedom like c'mon! all I have ever wanted to do in my life was to get married and move to the middle of nowhere with kids and a dog, this just solidifies that aspiration, it just sucks that peeps my age and beyond are getting sucked into this, like i kid you not when i was only 12 (I'm SHELTERED, like homeschooled, rare friends beyond family) i was told by a stranger that im only single cause im not bi, I WAS 12!!
My theory: the more loudmouth pushing of the pride agenda, the more pushback and “hate” will result. Why do people make it their mission to try to advertise their preferred way of life so dramatically, and basically expect worship and special treatment as they guilt the population into pretending to like them? That WILL NOT result in greater “acceptance”
That's not a theory, that's a FACT
I agree with comment above me, it is a fact not a theory
It's the same reason I, as a Christian, was so disturbed by and outspokenly opposed to the likes of Westboro Baptist Church (the "God hates f*gs" cult of ~20 years ago). Same with and real Christian or decent Conservative/Republican who tries to oppose the Trump cult today. The LGB folks are similarly trapped by the TQIA+ cult that pretends it speaks for everyone and makes them _all_ look bad unfairly.
Being a raving lunatic and forcing your agenda on people does _nothing_ to further your cause -- it only ever makes everyone hate you and everything to do with it.
It’s no longer about acceptance it’s about dominance
The radicals rule the roost they’re long past acceptance they want dominance over and the destruction of conservative and Christian culture
It’s basically become tribalistic hate and level headed people need to step up and put a stop to this or all the progress that has been made towards acceptance will be undone
Conservatives are actually starting to push back that’s why there’s such tension today and instead of finding middle ground they double down which is a losing strategy
Honestly, I think this goes both ways too - speaking as a sex repulsed aroace here. Straight people may try to shove their lives down others' throats, Catholics may do the same, it all really depends on the person and just how much they think others care about their life and how "better" it would be to live their way. It doesn't even have to be about sexuality, it can be religion, politics, and whatever else there is.
Though when people start shoving both upon children, that's when it gets insane. Kids aren't gonna understand anything about sexuality, genders, pronouns, or the like - just what is being taught by their families and their schools. Let them have their childhood! If you take 'em to church because you're devoted to your religion, that's one thing, but don't start proclaiming that "gay is bad" or "gay is good", whatever.
Even at work, I hear boys possibly being interested in something that's deemed more "girly", and while I'd LOVE to tell him "you can wear whatever you want", I simply cannot because 1. It's not my child so not my responsibility, and 2. I can't force my belief of "screw gender roles" on others because it's not my life they're living, it's theirs. And I simply wouldn't want to speak against their parents' wishes. Because again, that's not my child, and he may learn about himself later on; Maybe I'll see him grown up and carrying a purse that his father said "was for girls" like he was OFFENDED that his little boy asked... Who knows?
As a gay conservative I've just stopped going since 2015. All the gay conservatives I know just don't bother because there voices go unheard
That’s fair cause that’s when gay marriage was legal so after that what is their legitimately left to fight for?
@mssophiad03 exactly, the gay movement ended and that's why the gay non profits moved to the Trans community because you can churn out endless homophobia to make more money for there non profits.
got something to fight for now! Your voices are required once more. To criticize the left, and to quell excessive backlash from the right.
Same for me only 2017.
Anyone’s voice goes unheard when you’re labeled a conservative. Why is that a horrible thing now? I never felt a certain way towards anyone labeled a liberal or conservative. I never had ill feelings to either. It just described what kind of ideals they had on some things. People hate too much on other humans for having opinions. What is wrong with people
I've lived in Chicago for a year as an exchange student in 21/22. For the most part, I've loved the city and the people. The autheticity and self-identification there were inspiring and I had a great time exploring different neighbourhoods and talking w people. But I remember vivdly how shocking it was to see how pushy and vulgar some people were in regards of their gender and sexuality. It was a wild justaposition of what I have seen in regards of queer and human rights and how some people talk about their allegedly deeply unfortunate situation. Really liked your video and rational approach, made me feel less insane and insolent
Than you for your articulate explanation of a complex issue. You are so 💯 correct
I don't have kids, but my sister is significantly younger than me. If I think about her coming out as queer, I feel literally nothing. I just want her to be happy.
But listening to someone chanting that "we're coming for your children"??? I just feel my "fight or FIGHT" instincts go haywire. No. You don't touch my family. You don't even *think* about touching my family. And if you try, *I* am coming for *you*.
Way to go to make people be more accepting towards you.
What does she even mean by "queer"? It's still an offensive slur to a great many gays, but it's been appropriated and redefined to mean whatever anyone wants it to, by mostly straight people who decided they can just "identify" into it. It's not ok.
Funny how it's called Pride, yet during the parades they don't have pride in what they are wearing or acting.
Pride is one of Satan's main characteristics, unlike Jesus who is humble
@@HolyNamedShhh. YOU ARE USING YOUR BRAIN. That's disliked in there.
@@Yayofangamer16 Oop-
@@HolyNamedBro, even as someone who doesn't mind people just liking who they like, I oughta agree. Mfs in these parades rlly acting like they're in the lust ring from Helluva Boss 💀
It just lust.
Thank you for speaking common sense. My wife and I have been together for 33 years. We're in our 60's now and just were legally married 2 years ago. We lived through the times where we had no rights and have been so thankful for what we have now. We are appalled at the so called gay community's representation of who we are suppose to be lately. We strongly agree there is a place and time for everything and what we see at these parades and how children are subjected to it turns our stomachs. Please keep speaking, your voice is so very important to all of us.
I love that 🤣 “Catch me in the right time and place, sorry not sorry, Amir’s getting ratchet”
Amir Odom I just want to say thank you for speaking up about this type of stuff.
Always!
I’m with you, Dude. This is out of control. These are often highjacked by insincere bandwagon jumpers who’re using this “movement” to give vent to their desperate degenerate tendencies. I don’t for a minute think that suddenly there’s a ton of men how’ve been harboring a secret need to wear a skirt in public and shake their junk.
@@amirxodom 🤝
@@amirxodom you honestly give me hope for this whole situation
Lesbian woman here and I agree 100% with Amir! This is horrific to witness!
Same here babe, glad we're not alone! ❤
Solid take bro. Keep spreading wisdom 👊🏻
100% Agree to all of the points brought up here, just want to share some insight on companies not really applying the whole pride campaign throughout their other social media campaigns across other "non-welcoming" nations.
I'm an expat working for a middle eastern nation for the past almost 6 years and I get it, it would be nice to advocate for the community and be part of bringing acceptance across the world. But it's a matter of respect here, respecting the faith of the nationals in this country, a lot of middle eastern countries are taking small steps towards tolerance for other religious beliefs and recognizing that some older beliefs may not be as applicable in the modern era. I would call it baby steps.. The western countries have had their time to grow into the era of acceptance that it enjoys now, it's not the job of these companies to play advocates when it's also their job to respect the values of the nation and there are so many people depending on that company for their livelihood.
I know so many LGBTQ+ individuals that reside in this country and while they have to keep it lowkey, there is plenty of acceptance from the community, and there are no propagandas against it, the government is not out to kill or hunt down anyone for their sexuality, the same may not be true for other countries but at least where I am, there are lots of individuals that lead healthy, happy, and safe lives while also respecting that who they choose to love is not something an entire nation needs to talk about. It's about mutual respect and coexistence.
While it may be true that some companies are just using pride as a marketing tool. The same is not true for all, just because a company can't or doesn't extend their LGBTQ+ campaigns towards other countries doesn't mean they lied about their advocacies in the first place. A decision maker can both support a community in one country and choose to keep a neutral stance in another company, it shouldn't invalidate their support.
I just want to be left alone as a bisexual. No parades, no flags, just nothing big!
I enjoy being myself and being accepted, but, like, in a relaxed sense. Hell, my mama was so chill when I first thought I was a lesbian.
Exactly!
At this point, it feels like a supremacy movement.
Your a normal person , these people need attention
❤ happy for you that your mom is chill
Like a big thanksgiving kind of. Just being glad you're allowed constitutional rights.
Like a low-key Independence Day?
I remember being in SF the weekend gay marriage was legalized in 2016, it was truly a celebration. There were private spaces sections off for anything sex/kink related....When did LGBTQ pride (that started as a literal protest) become synonymous with kink/fetish/bdsm? I'm not a prude by any means but am sick of watching hyper-sexuality being pushed as "liberation."
How is homosexuality a fetish? That makes no sense and it's harmful stereotyping.
Edit: I meant to say how do people see homosexuality as a fetish, and not just a sexual orientation.
@@PoorDog69 That's not at all what they said.
@@PoorDog69people can fetishize it but no that’s not what this person meant
@PoorDog69 best go read that statement again
@@Avatar_of_ChairnessI did read his statement he didn't say it. I meant to ask how people see homosexuality as a fetish. I wasn't addressing the user.
i am so glad you blurred things out...i wouldn't want to have to see none of that. THANK YOU
So happy you are saying this. And not stressing over the possible backlash. Some gay people must wake up, and see it from outside. The good intention might be there for most, but it comes across just scary, vulgar, crazy ... It's a must to admit that most of what goes in gay parade and some other events are not child friendly
As a 60 year old gay dude, I haven't been to a pride parade/festival since the mid 90's. Things have changed, my goal as a young man was to make it to my car and back. This newer generation will never know any struggle. People should learn not everybody is going to like you "shocker". Grow up, I have more friends than I want haha. I've also been in a relationship for 29 years, I need validation from nobody.
Oh, yes they will, of their own making. People who had supported the lgbt all their lufe are starting to get resentful and defensuve due to the abusive nutjibs. They eill eventually cayse the pendulum to go swingvthe other way and they will take ys all, women, feminists, gays and sane trans with them
Which is fair enough. Not all gay people like pride events for their own various reasons. Like most I find the "we're coming for your children" atrociously creepy and pedophilic!
I think there have always been some gays that did not support pride parades. I understand wanting to be accepted and treated like any other human being, but I don't understand how you can be proud of your sexual orientation or skin color. That's like being proud of your hair color or that you have 10 fingers.
@@ADanZLifeI’m sure you’d understand having pride for such of you are systemically discriminated, harrassed, assaulted, and such for those traits.
I’m sure you’d understand if you and others were economically & socially exiled for it. when basically you have much of society either trying to get you repress yourself or become violent with you in one manner or another to force compliance.
That society try to make you feel non-human/less than for those traits.
@@ADanZLifeWhich I know for a lot of you seems preposterous cause you primarily think of pride as these major parades in large metro liberal areas.
Which is a bit redundant given typically those liberal metro areas have the protections in place (while I’m sure progress still needs to be made in full).
I wish these major turn out at prides at metro areas would happen at these rural areas cause that’s where we need the mass presentation.
We need the rural conservatives to get the notion we exist and lack rights/protections and that must be addressed and we have every right to live our life and be able to support ourselves.
@@miasparks167 🤣🤣 I'm sorry you're stuck in an echo chamber and you believe nonsense. Have you tried just living your life and traveling around the country? You're safer in a rural conservative area than in a liberal metropolitan area, unless you're trying to mess with children.
@@ADanZLife Well I’ve already caught you in your vast misinformation. As a trans woman who started openly transitioning at 12 (2007) in rural conservative kansas (born and raised here)
As a trans woman, I am not safer in rural conservative area. Thanks, especially to evangelicals/social conservatives.
While the blatant social mistreatment is becoming less and less. Doesn’t change that I lack discrimination protections in housing, employment, medical, and education.
Which is the primary driver besides evangelicalism of making it unsafe for my community, especially in these parts. When we can find any economic stability then the fact of being unhoused/inconsistently housed, denied employment/promotion, and having education ripped away starts to assert itself.
All contributes to lack of safety on top of the stigma of being a trans person. So don’t even try to sell that bullshit just cause you presume trans = liberal = metro city trend.
That’s your own fault of ignorance.
“Shimmy shimmy hurrah!” 😂😂
You just got yourself a new subscriber ☺️
It’s literally like, me being a heterosexual, expressing my sexuality in front of kids and saying I’m so proud of this. That’s crazy. I’d be arrested immediately
Not so much anymore. The alphabet people have made it much easier to do bad things and get away with it. Just look at social media.
unless you express your subtle love (like hugging, cuddling intimately and kissing) Infront of your kids just like how other hetero parents do, then it's totally fine.
