To be really inclusive they need an M for mongers who are currently marginalized by society and made to feel looked down on. 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I was going to write ask the same question. Maybe at some stage someone should add M and F to that list to include those people who still think they are just Male or Female. You know, it should be all inclusive. And for everybody who wants to learn more I can highly recommend this documentary: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never really got the "Gay Pride" thing to be honest. Why would someone be proud of an immutable characteristic? It's like proud of being tall, or having blonde hair, or being White/Asian or whatever. The sooner we think of being gay/bi/straight as a morally neutral fact that is deserving of neither pride nor shame the quicker we can move on to more important issues. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2009 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 (edited) I actually happened to be at that parade; it was quite entertaining. They had a few cool vintage cars. But there was a segment of the parade with some of them dressed inappropriately for public (you could distinctly see penis through the stockings cos they were that tight, thin, and see through) And they were carrying signs saying, "Sex Work Is Work" -- which I thought was a bit tasteless, considering there were families there with children (I mean it was broad daylight on a main road). Most segments of the parade were some form of protest though (about marriage laws n adoption, stuff like that), so not exactly joyful. There was one segment of the parade with angry ladyboys aggressively telling the spectators, "My body is my choice". And another part was full of signs telling the spectators about their children, example "Don't assume your child is straight" Anyway, it's their parade. I was hoping to see some joyful gay celebration, but much of it was just a protest about laws, and also quite a bit of X-rated-ness. And of course, bringing " your kids" into the equation.

I think most straight white males don't get it, cos we can't say stuff like that. You've got: Gay Pride, Black Pride, Girl Power etc etc But try saying anything, like White Pride or Male Power and the far left extremists will devour you. It's is really interesting and ironic how fascist the left has become. Edited June 6, 2022 by 2009 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think it concerns all of us when they bring children into it. Maybe it is just my YouTube feed but recently I see enough strange videos and also news about crazy regulations for little kids. Like they talk in the school with young children if they don't want to be something different than just male of female. And it seems those woke activist are not happy if a kid is not interested in all of that. Like: here, look, you could be non-binary and everybody has to call you they, come on, take it, you know you want it... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
