Has the LGBTQ Movement Gone Too Far? | Man on the Street

It's Pride Month, but with one-third of the year now dedicated to LGBTQIA+ national holidays, what does “Pride” even mean? Aldo travels to West Hollywood to ask people what they think of Pride Month and whether the overt sexualization of the LGBTQ movement has gone too far.

I have a handful of gay conservative friends and they sound exactly like the older man with the drinks. One of them told me, " I would rather be back in the closet than deal with this bulls***". Another one of my gay friends said, " Life was better when everyone minded their own business. Everyone knew I was gay and nobody cared".

[@peterjermey7235]

Life was better when the cops could arrest you for being gay, AIDS was rampant and even the liberal politicians treated it like a big joke?

[@TayWoode]

Believe me there’s a lot of us like that, all my gay friends hate all this pride crap, it’s a very loud minority, usually younger people coz they now get accepted more than in the past and the more camp they are the more they act up like attention seeking kids

[@peterjermey7235]

@@TayWoode so your gay friends oppose gay rights?

[@TayWoode]

@@peterjermey7235 what a ridiculous disingenuous question. We oppose it promoted like it is when it doesn’t need to be, especially to children and done so over the top it’s annoying. They think the more they shout and act flamboyant the more they’ll be accepted when they’re acting like drama queens. Nothing to do with “rights” it’s to do with attitude

[@peterjermey7235]

@@TayWoode Pride is the campaign for equal rights. It isn't a ridiculous question to ask if they oppose the aims of the movement. Having done all my education in a system where it was illegal for teachers to say anything positive about gay people, I disagree that kids should not be allowed equality. It's really really damaging for gay kids to be in an environment where adults pretend gay people don't exist or, worse, are dangerous to society

[@dornie_donko]

I thought talking about who you want to have sex with was considered sexual harassment.

Yep... But only if it's a guy asking a straight woman....or so it would seem.

It still is. Gay men don't want to have sex with all men.

Read Romans Ch. 1 vs. 21-31 regarding homosexuality. Don't they fear hell. Jesus wants you to be saved. Repent.

[@peterjermey7235]

I think the challenge is most people don't see heterosexuality because it's as common as water, but if they see the exact same behavior from gay people then it's somehow a personal offense to them.

Sweetie, the one pushing it is PragerU. I guarantee, as a queer person, conservative media is giving Pride a bigger platform than actual queer people are. Because outrage sells better, and PragerU and the Daily Wire want to keep you angry

Um no. Not the moment it began, but probably now. The moment it began, gay people were people assaulted and killed for who they loved in the name of Christianity. Those people and sounds like you apparently don't care about the commandment where you do not kill. As a gay guy, I would agree it's gone too far. I don't get what dancing in your underwear celebrates about those who fought for our rights and that it's okay to love who you love.

The notion of "Tolerance" is what was used to convince everyone to let this lgbt stuff go through society, ahnd now that it's integrated, "Acceptance" is the word pushed at everyone. These two terms are nearly opposites even though their convepts have some similarities. "Tolerance" is a fairly noble concept in that it means for people to tolerate eachothers differences and lifestyles, in order to focus on what we agree on ahnd live together peacefully. "Acceptance" is the act of accepting others ideologies as good or alright, despite what one might actually believe... Which is pretty darn incoherent, as one can't accept any and all belief systems where many hold values that.contradict one another. It's a sneaky word that at it's base concept is incredibly invasive, pushing it's values onto those who don't believe them and tell them they are veing bigoted for not accepting their ideology. Just mah 2 cents and observation on the cultural change this past decade.
