I don't really understand why we celebrate Pride here in the Netherlands. Gay sex has been legal since 1811. We legalized gay marriage in 2001, America didn't even fully legalized gay sex until 2003.

Pride just seems like such an Americanism and American culture coming to dominate. I just don't participate in Pride and I don't understand why anyone here does. Especially when they go full in on it acting like Stonewall was some pivotal event for their own rights. Having to hear people who were born and grew up here tell me to learn my history and thank trans women of color for my rights is so aggravating. No, fuck off, you learn your history and thank Napoleon for his legal code that legalized homosexuality.

I wish other countries would just shut the door to American cultural exports. They are almost never a net positive.
