[@CeruleanSword]

@@WhatDemocracyYou’re misrepresenting what type of pride it is. They are taking pride in themselves and accepting themselves for who they are, and I, as a gay person, hope you as a straight person take pride in yourself too, for being different to me. It isn’t about being superior. It’s about being proud of yourself. It’s a deeply healthy way to think about yourself. Overall I disagree with the recent movement, but I think a lot of straight people are using this as an opportunity to confront pride itself, when the original idea of it is completely harmless and healthy for gay people. Everyone should be proud of who they are. And gay people have never said straight people shouldn’t be proud aswell.

no, I'm definitely not proud of my sexuality why would I be? I still don't understand why you need a month to celebrate that you're gay?. Like I say, I genuinely have no problem with any sexuality.. I just don't see why I have to have the damn rainbow flag in my face every corner I turn because gay people need a month of pride... and I'm not talking about the whole trans movement thing.

Now I am aware of the wider implications of these various narratives, I am determined to fight against it and am at the same time very fearful that the left wing will win. I urge you all not to vote Labour ever again in your life.

@@marieuzes I'd be interested for you to find a clip of them doing that unless you think they conflate gays with trans rights activists and wokeness in general which I haven't seen myself but obviously I haven't seen everything they've ever said.

[@marieuzes]

@@mickadams1905 they do indeed conflate being gay with drag events and particularly drag twerking and pole dancing for kids. None of my gay friends think it’s appropriate for kids either.

[@kateguilfoyle5155]

Any disagreement with any of the agenda is always the fault of ‘right wingers’. They used to be called ‘alt right.’ It just means they are calling the bs out for what it is.

[@joaopedrobaggio4475]

I am not against gays or lesbians, i don't support the LGBT activism who had became authoritarian and disrespectful, they are always saying that they were born this way, but they must remember that they were born because a straight relashionship. And i know that most gays and lesbians people are leaving the movement.

[@Adam-sd2ow]

Pure ego now. It's Arrogance month. Blame the current generation who live to be validated by others instead of getting on with their lives.

[@theblackhand1]

Thats why they are recruiting children. Seeing as they are self sterilising or homosexual. So to swell their numbers they are infiltrating schools to recruit the next batch

[@danelwind2574]

Indeed, I separated from the movement when I realized that nowadays, they are imposing ideologies.

[@joaopedrobaggio4475]

@@danelwind2574 are you a gay man?

[@Patches748]

While I agree about the authoritarianism of the left, and have left the movement myself, I don’t think queer people’s existence being contingent on straight relationships says anything inherent about how we should go about viewing those relationships.

When Microsoft came up with their psychedelic nightmare of a flag, they really weren't thinking about the kids who have to try to draw it at school, were they?

The current activism has the sole purpose of causing division.

the original lgb community has to take back their movement.

[@pamelarw58]

Thank you Andrew!!! I totally agree with your comments as the original Rainbow Flag was designed to represent Gay Freedom Celebration in late 70s. 🏳‍🌈 🇦🇺 "Gilbert Baker designed the rainbow flag for the 1978 San Francisco's Gay Freedom Celebration. In the original eight-colour version, pink stood for sexuality, red for life, orange for healing, yellow for the sun, green for nature, turquoise for art, indigo for harmony and violet for the soul".

I'm a gay man from the Netherlands and agree wholeheartedly with Doyle. That flag is a joke and the once LGB community has been highjacked by the alphabet people. I do not want anything to do with the pride movement. I'm not in the queer community. I consider 'queer' an insult. I oppose pride month and hate the so-called LGBTQIAA2+xyz community that supposedly took it over. I never celebrated pride, because I think it's nonsense. I just want equality. But even a night out with friends in cafes and bars specifically meant for gay men is not possible any more. Everywhere is this toxic ideology. I'm a gay man, but I'm not in the community. I don't want to.

[@ghenulo]

Dutch is such a cute language. I wonder if Netherlanders find natives speaking Dutch as cute as I do or if it just sounds like the default, like when I hear General American English.

It's all about normalising and decriminalising Paedophilia.

[@drbalbon7332]

It's interesting that the UK's attitude towards the LGBT communities was becoming more accepting and positive over the years, but then stalled and began going down gradually around 2019. It's almost as if something happened...

[@PuffingOnClouds]

Can we get a video on how pride hijacked that term 'woke'. Because when I talk about corruption, I'm not saying I'm gay.

[@EldarianLegend]

I was born in Brighton and told decades ago that the rainbow was a symbol to represent 'everyone of all colours and stripes'. That made perfect sense. Segregating out trans or disabled or different races is counter to the very thing itself. These new flags are overtly political, subversive and frankly offensive.

[@jonno777]

At last. The truth. Gay man and agree. Gilbert Baker turning in his grave 🙈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈

[@Thespian-wp6xq]

No. It's never made sense to me.

[@karenconroy8091]

Well said Andrew

[@sparecash7199]

It goes to show just by looking at that flag, that they will ‘shatter’ themselves into tiny little pieces until they destroy themselves! The Microsoft flag denotes this perfectly!

[@stru9286]

Welcome to the wonderful world of “identity politics” 🤣🤡

[@georgemeacham8591]

great summing up, thanks Andrew

[@gavinbrando8255]

You can tell that the cool gay people who design clothes and all the other cool shiiit are not with these other interlopers. That's why the flag looks ridiculous now instead of striking a pose, there's nothing to it... VOGUE!!!

[@SafffOneee]

it really pisses me off that any group could have the arrogance of taking over something like the rainbow, 1 of the oldest features of earth and something that PREDATES ALL LIFE. as an artist this means if i was to make something with rainbow colours it would be seen as gay when i just want to use a spectrum of colours

[@wisevirginsmedia]

The rainbow was given by God as a promise that He wouldn't destroy the wicked world again with a world wide flood. His final judgment will be by fire.

[@alanrandell8597]

BRAVO!👏 As a gay man I totally agree with everything Andrew said. Lgbqi+WTFwe'retakingoverthealphabet community leave our flag alone. You do not speak for me as a gay man!

That flag never made sense because it was stolen. Which proves the real purpose of all this charade even from the beginning.

[@fredf7457]

Very well said.

[@stumccabe]

"Pride"? Are they really proud or are they just trying to convince themselves that their s3xual behaviour is something to be proud of? Perhaps some of them actually want to cancel their feeling of shame.

[@AntoKyuuketsuki]

It's literally a sausage fest. The LGBT used to exist in a manner that wasn't in everyone's faces, which now with all the added numbers and letters it's become nothing more than a political trend that will alienate the majority of its own community because 90% are already confused and don't know what they are. 😂

[@s.susanmarandi9080]

💯

[@bri-annaedwardine1697]

I agree with this comment. I believe deep down they do feel ashamed and are trying to cover it up. It may not be a popular view, but there it is. I also think that people who are in extramarital heterosexual relationships feel shame too. Being proud and "special" because you are gay, and that is soooo celebrated by society, and so "woke" is a good way of covering up a lot of complex feelings of inadequacy. Don't get me wrong I dont want to shame people, I'm just observing.

[@mokeboi3328]

Very helpful speech. Thank you
