It's Pride Month!

[douche]

I thought this summed it up rather well...

Once a symbol of struggle against discrimination, "pride month" has morphed into a taxpayer-funded circus of nudity, awkward political pandering, and self-inflicted humiliation.

Not to mention the sheer phoniness of pretending that it's "all inclusive" when it isn't. At least Black Lives Matter didn't try to bullshit everyone by changing their name to Lives Matter.

There's not even a reason for "Gay Pride" anymore as a pushback against society's views, society has grown up to the point where most of us see gay people as...people.

Not to mention why the hell would one would be "proud" of what gender they want to have sex with. Like George Carlin famously said, pride should be in something you achieve, not in a genetic accident like being Irish, 5'11" or having a predisposition for colon cancer.

And we have a "month" for this crap.

I agree that by and large society has grown up. Also I think Carlin nailed it, as usual. But ... I think there are a lot of gay people who grew up when things were not so good, and they have memories of that. And like most of us, things that happened to us growing up have lasting negative effects. So I'm willing to cut some slack to people for whom "gay pride" might ameliorate some of negative feelings they have from the discrimination they experienced in the past.
