I don’t like how Pride month is being handled. I haven’t seen it used to educate the public about the history of gay rights at all or even on trans issues since the trans activists don’t actually want any studies on trans issues.

The way Pride is being handled contributes to the sense that the LGB+WTF community is a big social club that you’re either in or out and that people should want to try to find a backdoor in to feel special and like they have a purpose.

I just want to be left alone to love women and not be defined by that. I want people to understand that being gay isn’t a feeling. It just means that like the vast majority of the population, we feel attraction but that it is to the same sex (and in the case of bisexuals both sexes), and that this feels normal and natural to us just like opposite sex attraction feels to them. Pride is working against this entirely and making it all about personal truth and identity. I hate that.

I saw some supposed gay man who is a TRA rail against LGB Alliance harming the community but when asked how, all he could say was “what did they do for Pride month” as if that should be a primary concern for a nascent organization fighting for its right to exist.
