Couldn't care less about it. There may have been a point to it long ago when it was to draw much-needed attention to LGB issues. But the issues LGB people (in the west, at least) struggle with the most today are honestly exactly the ones pride month itself is pushing. So if anything, pride month is anti-LGB in my book, at least practically. Not everyone who celebrates it is anti-LGB obviously, but what pride month is actually accomplishing now is anti-LGB measures like transing LGB children, normalizing homophobic concepts like "genital fetishism," normalizing straight men invading lesbian women's spaces (and vice versa,) etc. Other than that, it's now just a competition to see which soulless billion-dollar company can pretend to be in support of us the most.
