I'm the proud mum of a beautiful gay daughter. I am volunteering at pride this month, to represent her as she's away. I felt, viewing this, that maybe I'm not doing the right thing. However, even though some of your points made sense, a lot is to do with one's conscience and respect. So if I say something which I don't know is wrong at the time, I'm hoping someone can explain to me what I've done wrong. It's part of learning about other human beings, regardless of which community they are in. So for me, forget the don'ts rule book. All I have to do is turn up with a kind and loving heart towards everyone. Happy Pride

[@aaronrosenberg6633]

As a cis gay man, let me make the following observations about your video. One challenge is that the Pride March/Parade/Rally is definitely a political event, but it also fosters an atmosphere of carefree joy/whimsy/freedom. These two elements, while not necessarily dichotomous, can be confusing when combined into one event. I think that people who are support of the LGBTQAI+ community may even be afraid to attend for fear of saying/doing the wrong thing. I reclaim for myself the title of SJW, however, we should also be really patient toward allies who mean well when they misspeak or mis-act, even at a pride march. Your message, "Stay out of the places you don't belong to" is misinformed and alienating. First, it is often impossible to avoid certain events in such huge crowds. Second, groups with "complex power dynamics" need to understand they're still in a public place with (hopefully) people who are supportive allies, even if the attendees do not understand those dynamics. This is the best time for Pride participants to inform about who they are with pride. If one goes to a pride parade as a supporter, regardless of group membership, there should be no portion of that parade that's off-limits. Asking people to "stay away" from certain components of the parade that they might not understand can't be a good thing for the community. It's all about visibility. A public march is about showing oneself, not hiding. If flirting happens, it happens. If it's done correctly, nobody is hurt. Making no-flirting rules for only straight allies attending a public event is again misinformed. You tell straight cis people that because they're the minority, they might be hit on by the same gender and should be prepared. Then you tell them they cannot flirt with other straight cis people in a public space? You really want to control others' behaviors in public. And we should all have learned by now that being "in the minority" should never lessen our rights. Straight cicgender people flirting with each other shouldn't bother anybody as long as nobody's getting hurt. I understand social progress, but I think your double standard is showing.

[@themelonsoup]

I think it is weird to say cishet peeps can't flirt because A. Sometimes flirting is just people having a good time trying to be a little naughty or whatever lol B. This implies that there is no one who will want to date you, but there are straight trans or otherwise gender nonconforming people and bi/pansexual people. Check the flags and use consent! Lol

[@unknowna8056]

[@chrismoebus19]

I, as a gay man, am upset by how many rules you feel you need to put on straight people to attend an open to the public party. That sort of discrimination is what led to the riots to begin with. If people want to go, let them go. If not, don't. But who are you to put rules on attendance? People need to learn to stop caring what everyone else says or thinks about them. Their opinion should mean nothing. Go to pride, celebrate the way you want to, and go home when you are done. Just my two cents worth. Either way, Happy Pride

[@xotbirdox]

@SMS101productions What makes you think gay people don't have jobs? 😂 And I'm sure you're a great person, what with your comparing consenting adults loving each other and being proud about it to paedophilia and all. 🙄 You are doing a disservice to all of the children who have been killed or had their lives ruined by paedophiles by comparing their horrific experiences to loving, positive adult relationships.

I agree with the core message of this video (being respectful, etc.) but I feel like this long list of rules for cis/straight people creates a barrier where there doesn't need to be. Idk, just my opinion

[@Ash-vv6io]

The whole point is that these are rules EVERYBODY should follow, it's just that most cishet people don't realize it because they aren't part of the community. This video is just to point them out! It's just common, if lesser known, courtesy.

[@teambellavsteamalice]

I feel the rules themselves are ok, but the tone is not effective for those who it would be meant for. Some comments indeed call it passive-aggressive or find it too long/strict (just behave and have fun). Those that don't have the common decency, respect or sense to behave themselves will definitely find this too politically correct or over the top.

*STRAIGHT PEOPLE WHO WATCHED THIS VIDEO, PLEASE READ THIS* 1. Agree 2. Agree 3. Disagree. Being respectful is definitely important but people will have their own opinions on what they are and aren’t okay with and, most likely, attempting to change their mind will be futile. It’s kind of like me and my beliefs. You would never be able to convince me that the LGBTQ+ community isn’t “holy”, or “healthy”, or “right”, etc because I am a part of it and will support and protect it to the best of my power as long as I live. It might be the same for them. They might have extremely strong opinions that no matter how hard you try, you won’t be able convince them that they are wrong to believe those things. The bottom line is people have the right to believe what they want to. Forcing your beliefs on them would be taking away those rights. 4. Agree 5. Disagree. Some slang can be hurtful. Like “dyke”, one of the examples you used, or “faggot”. But “queer” is not offensive. It’s in LGBTQ+ for Christ’s sake. Q - queer. What if you’re trying to explain to someone what all of the letters in LGBTQ+ means? What do you do? Skip that one? In my eyes, “queer” is not offensive and was never meant to be in the first place. Moving on. What about informing someone about offensive terms? Also the thing about only LGBTQ+ people can use those terms. If they’re offensive then why do we use them at all? In our community all we want is general acceptance and equality. If only a certain group of people can use a certain group of terms, that is just drawing more attention to our differences. 6. Disagree. Why stay away from other groups? Why can’t you socialize and share opinions, beliefs, and ideas? Pride events give you a chance to meet like-minded people and make friends. Don’t isolate yourself. Explore. 7. Agree 8. Disagree. Pride events give you a chance to celebrate so why not dress up a bit? I understand that dressing up with the intent of making fun of the culture is disrespectful. But if you mean well, why not? I see it as a way of celebrating and supporting our culture. That statement stands unless, as I said earlier, you are making an effort to offend and ridicule the LGBTQ+ community. Another thing is why are you only attacking men in your examples? 9. Agree 10. Disagree. Don’t be telling people how to spend their money. Because, of course, it is *their* money. Not yours. Maybe they don’t have much either and are spending more than usual because it’s a special occasion. *Disclaimer:* *These are just my opinions. I don’t speak for the whole community.

[@hatorigirl1202]

I agree with most of what you said, with the main exception being the use of the word queer. For some in the community that is how they identify. It's been used as an identity since the 80s, and some would prefer you use that over calling them gay or bi or whatever. Usage matters, and you should never use a word to describe someone that they are uncomfortable with, and there's a big difference between referring to someone as being queer vs. saying they're A queer, but the word itself has such a different meaning than it used to, that I don't think a blanket ban from all cis straights is the right approach. Kinda erases those who identify that way.

[@IndefinableSin]

I've seen quite a bit of controversy around this. A friend of mine made a facebook post at one point saying 'queer is still a slur, straight/cis people can't say it." I tend to agree with you that the context is the most important thing. I would be okay with a cis het person saying 'the queer community' in conversation for example. But if you're at a pride event it's possible not everyone there will agree and it's best to be safe.

[@ryebreadthomas9465]

I honestly don’t think that we should be telling the supportive people that aren’t part of the community but still want to show up all these rules.

I'm also saying HE because Marsha didn't identify as trans. In multiple interviews he refers to himself as a drag queen and gay man. There are also multiple threads on twitter from relatives of some of Marsha's best friends. All the threads say that Marsha only referred to himself as "she" because it's a part of drag culture and he 100% identified as a GAY MAN. Storme DeLarverie, a butch black lesbian started the riots. There are countless amounts of interviews that confirm this. STOP repeating false information that you read on Twitter.

[@ecueto395]

Newly out as Bi and I’m a bit nervous and waaay out of my comfort zone so I’m binge watching any videos about what to know and/or expect. Thank you for making this❤️💜💙

[@brandoncruz2809]

Awesome video!!! So glad you made it!!! Happy Pride Month!!!

[@kiwichan2325]

Guys. I'm really sad and I just need to talk to someone so here we go I'm pasexual, the only PPL that know are my bff and my crush (she is bi). I wasn't scared about coming out, since my family have excepted lgbtq+ ppl. But only recently when me my mum and brother were in a car my bro started to talk about bi and pan ppl. Idk why he just was. Anyway, the next thing he said made me want to cry. He said "bi and pan people are just confused. I think you are either gay or straight and you can't be attracted to more then 1 gender" but then.. my mum agreed. I'm so sad. It's awful to know I can't come out know, if i do Ill proberly get kicked out. I don't know what to say. Bc if I ever do get a gf... they will think I'm gay... but then if I get in a nother relationship with a different gender... they will know. I'm gonna keep it a secret, forever. I'll be hard but like anyone will like me anyway :')

[@cicidiaries]

4:05 Was she basically saying straight cis people can't go to pride unless they bring a LGBTQ+ friend or family member? I wasn't planning on it, but still

[@IndefinableSin]

Yeah I don't know if I agree with that. When I was little my whole family used to go and make a day of it long before I came out, and my parents are both very straight. I don't think it's fair to say cis het people shouldn't show solidarity just 'cause they don't currently know any gay people in the area.

[@christinas.3461]

CiCiDiaries this is just one person saying this. As long as you are coming from a space of love then it’s more than ok. All are welcome. Coming from someone who is a part of this community. ❤️

[@cicidiaries]

@@christinas.3461 Thanks! I appreciate it. If I end up going (which I really hope I can) it'd be with my lgbt friends, but I'm glad to hear that I'm welcomed regardless. Happy pride!! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

[@christinas.3461]

CiCiDiaries Hope you’re able to go! Have fun if you do 😊

[@eliotjupiter7807]

i thought straight people were apart of pride month

[@laurelmichaela259]

This is such an amazing video!! As a straight/cis person, I learned a lot about pride and the LGBTQAI+ community! ps - I love that your cat is named Oscar Wilde! 😆

[@tankbitsscatter127]

As an asexual, thank you so much for using LGBTQA. I’m excited that we are getting more representation. ❤️

[@charley_161]

Yes! I thought the same thing! :)

[@nolongeractive08]

I would love to go to pride if I could! Hopefully, I can this year

[@randomnon5486]

Me, too. But I’m still in the closet and still trying to figure stuff out.

[@ThePr3stineBlad3]

I'm bi and going to pride in a few days I'm so excited

[@katrineee7092]

The Pr3stine Blade hey, I wanna go. But in my country it can be a little dangerous. And also I’m not out. So.. what do you think?

[@PokeYugi3000]

Amazing video. Shared it to my Facebook so my cis straight friends can see this so they can understand what they need to know. Happy Pride Month!

[@dressagegirlkae]

Would love to go to pride this year, but I'm in a delicate emotional place right now and if I get shit for being bi there it would finish me off. I'm just sick of being forced back in the closet since I'm with a man now.

[@lonelyhuman98]

Next week I'm going for the first time on Equality Parade in capital city of my country and I'm so excited bc it will be much bigger than in my city. Hugs from Poland!

[@ozzie7596]

Have a lovely pride!

[@greymage6977]

Hum, I am glad that I am no where near wherever you are celebrating pride. I have never seen so much hypocrisy this side of a church. "Pride is a way for US to be ourselves and express who we are, BUT YOU can only come and watch (like at the zoo) but you can't think, speak or act" as expressed in #4-#9, but we will gladly accept your money #10...No wonder there are some people who actually want a Straight Pride. I am a Gay Male, who has been out since the middle 1980's...I have non-biological family that is gay, bi, straight and even asexual. I have biological family that is straight, gay, bi and lesbian...Everyone of us are adults and are enough of an adult to know how to act around different people. I don't know where you celebrate pride but where I do, people mind their manners and don't need a passive aggressive list to tell them how to act. I originally thought this was going to be a video on how to enjoy PRIDE, like where and when is best to get drinks, what not to eat and so on...#1 though #3 were almost like that, but NO!

[@PhantomX0990]

[@_zoeyshaa_]

You said things really well! Thanks for this! I am a straight ally. (:

[@georgejdi]

Steph,as an active lgbtq+ person, I am disgusted from your video. This militant and arrogant approach to people is dissapointing and the reason why the lgbt+ community will NEVER be strong. Who are YOU to tell a human being what to say if they identify as straight or gay or whatever? Even if you have the slightest feeling, that telling people how to behave and what words to say, then you are another fascist in the community. We can NEVER tell another being how to behave and what to say. It is not ok for the straights, it is not ok for the lgbtq+. We accept and show unconditional love to EVERYONE and let our behaviours and words be the bright example for all the beings around us. I really suggest you to go to india for a couple of months and live in an ashram. Your words in this video prove that you are completely desoriented and on a path of really bad energy. I send you all the love and positive energy of the world.

As a cisgender female I’m open to learn about the LGBT and how to respect them... ( BTW the sign you have in the back is hilarious)

I never heard of cisgender what's that? Btw hows ur pride month going mine is awesome knowing people support us

[@YodaMan-420]

wait LGBTQAI? now theres AI involved? were gonna have to stop adding letters soon. theres only 26 in the alphabet and we got 19 left.

[@yuagiin]

the added IA or AI in LGBTQIA stands for Asexual and Intersex, though it's much easier to say LGBT+ than listing out the entire thing which would be LGBTQIACPGNQFNBPD - Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual, Curious, Pansexual, Questioning, Gender-Fluid, Non-binary, Polysexaul, Demisexual, probably more I'm forgetting lol

[@ElloSteph]

Amazing! Definitely check out Cubbyhole. It's my favorite lesbian bar here in NYC (and they also have the cheapest drinks)

[@davidsharlot6794]

Surely there is a difference between people associated with LGBTQAI+ community and the general cis straight community with no real connection that are just curious.

[@lazyperfectionist1]

"...LGBTQ... _AI+?"_ 😟 My god. How many letters are necessary, here?

[@davidsharlot6794]

@@lazyperfectionist1 I like H+, I'm hoping it will blow up.

[@teambellavsteamalice]

@@lazyperfectionist1 Yeah, it can be confusing or annoying to some. You could argue lgbtq+ is broad enough with + being like an other category. But asexual or intersex may like separate recognition. I'm kinda a bit lazy myself and you shouldn't annoy people telling them the miss letters or use wrong word. But if people make the effort to use the full LGBTQAI+ why complain it's too many letters?

[@lazyperfectionist1]

@@teambellavsteamalice I'm not complain that it's too many. I'm asking how many are necessary.

[@puckbryn3583]

I don't give my straight cis friends "permission" to use the word queer outside of the context of referring to me and my identity, and I always give he context for the word outside of that, but if they didn't refer to me as queer during pride because someone said they can't, they also wouldn't be respecting my identity. it's a pickle when people tell them they can't ever use the word, but I think it all comes down to learning about who you're talking to and respecting them.
