In Germany the Pride Parade is called CSD, Christopher Street Day, and is only one day a year. Unfortunately, the Anglosphere is having a bad impact on that institution, seeing as more and more companies are global and are thus catering to the ‚PRIDE MONTH‘ stupidity. Maybe, if veterans get one day, LGB (cut the T) should be humble enough to not celebrate a month long something no one gets to chose anyhow. Should be a good thing to split the sexualities away from the woke crowd of transtrenders, and then have one CSD per city. Doesn‘t even have to all be on the same day, so you can travel from parade to parade if you want to.

Don't forget it wasn't the protest that made a huge difference, but it was people finding out their relative, friends or coworker was gay. When you know someone and close to someone who is gay you are more likely to accept them. The message was love is love and getting people to understand us changed people's opinion. Not today young activists decide to be confrontational and force people to accept us or you're a bigot. This is going to cause us to lose acceptance.

[@sputumtube]

I'm 63 years old and I don't understand any of this. All the different 'labels' for the various groups (binary, non-binary etc) mean nothing to me. If you have a vagina then you're a woman and if you have a penis, you're a man. If you want to be gay or lesbian, fine. Just don't push it down the throats of everyone else. And teaching all this rubbish to toddlers at school is outrageous.

[@rommelangus]

Lol correction: if you have a vagina, you’re effeminate as fvck but if you have a penis, you’re masculine as fvck 😮😮😮

[@rebeccaspellmeyer5761]

Real transgenders in the majority of cases are born with a penis but have no attachment to it because the feel they are female. It causes great anxiety for them. In order to try to alleviate that anxiety they will hide or even surgically remove their penis and make other changes to pass as a woman. They will not sing about normalizing the bulge and say women can have bulges. They will not make tiktocs talking about having a stillborn. Most will not agree with giving blockers to children that permanently alter their bodies.

[@DaniTofte]

Some people will trot out the genetic mutations as examples to prove sex is on a spectrum. We have XXY individuals like Caster Semenya taking gold medals from females. "She" is a man born with a vagina, but in all other biological aspects she is a man. Someone can be born with six fingers. We still don't make a claim that there is a spectrum of the number of fingers we humans have.

[@afroaesthete3701]

I’m a lawyer. Rights for gay and lesbian people in the US were won based on the constitutional right to privacy. Requiring more and more of the public is going in the complete opposite direction and completely undermines what activists up until recent years fought for. As a Black woman, the fight for civil rights was a fight to end legal disenfranchisement first, and personal opinions second. Basing a movement solely on changing people’s personal opinions is doomed fail, because people don’t like being told what to think explicitly. Public sentiment changes organically, based on positive representation in public spaces. “Validate me or you’re the devil incarnate” is significantly less effective on a large scale. It does work on the very young and the weak-minded though.

[@via-anghelmagahum2586]

Yes pride and gay acceptance used to be from the community about tolerance: You don’t have to like it or me for being trans or gay, accept it, celebrate it, affirm it, condone it. But we do ask that you respect us as human beings, be kind courteous and polite in public, agree to disagree. Let us have the same basic human rights as you. And we’ll leave you alone. Now it’s become if you don’t like it, accept it, condone it, affirm it, celebrate it regardless of your own personal religious beliefs or personal beliefs in general you are evil and should be bashed and destroyed. Especially when and I’m saying this as a Bisexual woman, the LGBTQUIA+ movement has become so politicized and so radical in gender ideologies and involvement with minors, corporately exploited and politically exploited, and need to have everyone agree with everything they do, it’s pushing people who were neutral about the community and gay rights or supported us against us and making us all look like radical idiots.

I believe the majority of people really don't care what anyone's sexual preferences are, but once you start to bring children into it, which the Trans Community has now done, you have crossed a line that most people won't accept.

Throw on a frock because you must be a woman...and other such rhetoric is demeaning to gay individuals. I'm a straight woman and that disturbs me, so heaven knows how that makes gay people feel. To be treated like they don't know who they are, that they need fixing with some hormones and surgery. That they are a bigot for who they want to be with or not. Just NO. It's all, just, so regressive. I knew a lot of gay people, of both sexes, growing up. Just everyday people getting on with their lives.

If you want to be accepted in society and treated just as anyone else in society, then have some decency, there are kids, old folk, and other members of your community who wouldn’t wander round dancing almost naked. Regardless of what celebration it was, we get it your gay, if you want full acceptance and celebration then allow anyone to attend without fear of what is essentially sexual exposure. I was at the pride march in Tokyo, and it was nothing like this hedonism. They understand that to be accepted you have to be part of society not break it.

[@steventalik4782]

You clearly didn't watch the video. The pride parade is starting to be less and less about gay acceptance and more about trans, queer, kinks and nudity. These groups have hijacked the pride parade from the gay community and made it about themselves. All these groups have their different needs and wants that are separate from the gay community's needs and wants. Some of these people are not even gay they are straight liberal activists who colour their hair and wear rainbow outfits but apparently can speak and represent what gay people want. The kink and nudist community have their own desire to be naked and do sexual acts in public, which are the real issues in the pride parade, and it is not what every gay and lesbian wants. They continue to do what they want in the pride parade due to young activist organizers while gays and lesbians have been taking the blame for this when some of us don't even go to pride and not even near it, yet we are being blamed for this.

They have poisoned some young Gays & Lesbians playing into their internal unresolved homophobia & fears. Being Gay or Lesbian is not wanted by these Str8-Queer-Trans-Nonbinary radical activists. They want to destroy our LGB Community by sewing decension among the LGB Community as well as Straight allies, friends, & family by pushing delusional agendas & false Queer propaganda. They are attempting to rewrite Gay & Lesbian History by inserting their false beliefs among our community & the world at large. I would urge you to rewatch the video & try to understand that the LGB Community is under attack by these straight wanna be queers because they want to feel special & unique. So they poison the well with their trans-queer-activist agendas. The majority of these radicals are straight people with some misguided gay & lesbians among their ranks. They play upon their fears & insecurities around their sexuality. The frustration & animosity you feel towards Gays is exactly what these Str8-Queer-Trans-Nonbinary activists want. They want you to feel uncomfortable & feel confused around Gay & Lesbian folks so that you may want to attack authentic LGB people (who don't want to hurt or "groom" children or even dance naked in parades), who do not push an agenda other than just wanting equal rights as citizens & live peacefully amongst our fellow human beings. Don't fall for the propaganda, we need to stick together to root out this trans-activist cancer out of our LGB Community & encourage peace with our Straight friends & family. Check out the LGB Alliance for more clarity on this issue. It's for biological men & women who are LGB, but you will find information there that shines a light on the difference between genuine LGB folks & these radicals pushing a trans-activist ideaology. Peace be with you & remember if it's screaming about being mis-gendered & being oppressed then that's not the genuine LGB Community those are misguided gays & lesbians who have been sucked into the Str8-Queer-Trans-Nonbinary activist movement, which is a delusional & destructive agenda that wants to transition kids & devolve Gays & Lesbians out of existence.

Ima 54yo gay bloke, came out at 17. Went through the 80’s / 90’s difficult times to be gay. Did the pride marches proudly. Today, thanks to this generation I’ve gone back in the closet. It’s gone far left and homophobia is back on the rise. Just nuts. Gays for Gaza was the final straw for me 🤷🏻‍♂️ ironically Toronto pride was cancelled due to pro Palestine supporters stopping gays for Gaza 🤣 but yeah. I don’t associate anymore

Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

That woman implying a man should "transition" to get straight guys is outright insane. The idea that any significant proportion of straight men are willing to date a man posing as a woman is laughable at best.

[@ratatata104]

transsexual women are not pretending or posing💀get a life

[@unendedquest.14U]

Men aren't interested in them and lesbians won't entertain them. So what's the point of transitioning.

[@jaijai5250]

He’s not straight if he’s willing to date a man, who claims to be a woman.

Eating popcorn and waiting for the split in lgbt community

[@jodawson5268]

The split is happening with LGB splitting from the TQ etc . When Mermaids the Trans charity tried report the LGB to the charity commission and ended up being investigated themselves.

[@TheIrreverentUncleAl]

@@jodawson5268 What were they investigated for?

[@alexanderjohns1588]

It all sounds so complicated I’m glad I’m straight.

[@flameofthewest6196]

Also read After the Ball. Pride was a deliberate marketing campaign to make it "acceptable".

[@richiep3520]

I'm happy it's over too. I'm feel ashamed of how I'm represented at these events. My husband and I are treated equally here in Ireland. We face no harassment, we are going through surrogacy which has just passed new laws protecting all people under the law. Yes, these rights were achieved through activism and pride events but I don't need 2 men in dog outfits acting out sex acts to represent me as a gay person. I don't need children dragged into it either. Fettishists and gender ideologists have taken over and have tainted all that was built.

[@YarrowPressburg]

Thanks for your help, I appreciate it.

[@DEichenberg]

We gave them the benefit of the doubt, and they went straight for the kids.

[@TheJeffbarrett]

Actually, a SHAME month would be appropriate these days.

[@Hernyjoeph]

They already have the adults now they want the children

[@gonzoexpress9885]

What's that song lyric, "If you tolerate this, then your children will be next . . ."

[@MGTOWforthewin]

There are NO gay rights, there are NO trans rights - there are only HUMAN rights...and it starts with respecting the individual and their rights!

[@stupor_mundi]

It’s the blatant depravity and predatorial attitude towards children that disgusts me the most about their movement. To the point where I think many people who supported the rights of that community could now care less if those rights were taken away. They made themselves such an eyesore and a scourge on the public space. We must restore dignity to civic behaviour and protect the innocence of children. They overreached themselves with their constant provocations and depravity.

[@rubies200]

I agree, 100%.

[@martinbonner2585]

Saw a post by an original lesbian activist who said she wished she hadn't bothered because it's been taken to far. The whole point was to be treated and have the same rights as everyone else, rightly so, now it's become, look at me my sexualitiy is all I'm about, you must celebrate because I am special and if you misgender me or use the wrong pronouns it's a hate crime. Totally going against that everyone is just a member of society who should be treated the same, and then wonder why people are turning against them again
