Pride isn't pride anymore. That alone makes it perfectly acceptable to be against it.

It used to be a protest to force people to realize that gays do exist and to help people not be ashamed for existing.

Now it's just neoliberal pandering for corporate influence points and a showcase for narcissists with sexual fetishes to show off in public.

I went to one a couple years ago and luckily it wasn't a big fetish parade but it was nothing but various companies and corporations advertising with rainbow colored products.

It's really normal to distance yourself when a group changes fundamentally from what it was in its inception. The same thing happened with Greenpeace, one of its founders disavowed the group publicly because the way they'd been behaving was not in line with his principles. I'm sure the same could be said for many LGB people with respect to Stonewall.

I got angry because he said I was "unempathetic", "I have to evaluate myself", and "what I am saying is archaic", "don't be so defensive", "my posture is absurd". I never said anything about how I see his views and my opinion about his views, but he was very quick to jump and say those things as if he is right.

"don't be so defensive"

I hate people who say that shit.

If I had a boyfriend who said those things to me, I would flat out tell him to stop doing that, and if he kept it up, I’d dump him. No offence, but your boyfriend sounds like he doesn’t respect you at all. He sounds like a jerk.

It sounds like the same mentality as the bandwagon that attacked JK Rowling for being a bigot but refused to actually read her writing. Complete confidence in themselves despite being utterly incorrect.
