I guess we found out who the final boss of Pride month into July is 😒

it's really odd. This year's Pride especially seems to be all about punishing same-sex attracted people, with the punishment all coming from the TQ+ community. Maybe they feel like they have to silence us online even more this year since there are no pride parades? Normally they'd just ban us from the marches and be done with it. Now, we have to be rooted out from having a presence ANYWHERE, perhaps especially where uninitiated normies might accidentally wander across our perspective.

This is just so upsetting, no words can express it. I am in my late 30s and I come from a very homophobic country. It took so much time and effort to escape my country of origin and move to a democratic and open-minded one. Never ever would I imagine to have to go through hate, discrimination and "lesbians will enjoy dick, they just need to try it" all over again. It feels surreal. We gotta do something about it.

If it makes you feel any better, I've been watching this shit-show unfold since the early 2000s, and I've never seen as much awareness and resistance to it all as there is now. The idea of someone like JK Rowling coming to the support of lesbians would have been unthinkable back then. No disrespect meant to her, but if she'd been aware of the 'conflict' back then, I am pretty certain she would have been on the pro-trans and anti-lesbian side, because that was just the default position that the nice, clueless allies took. We even have some conservatives speaking up for us. And I know there are different perspectives on that, not everyone likes it, but again...20 years ago, that would have been unthinkable. The bannings are happening because we're getting too loud and too organised and too effective. So we just need to keep doing more of the same.

    Yep. You're right in everything you say. Even if I wasn't there for a lot of that, what you say matches up with other accounts I've read, and also a lot of things I've seen myself, particularly non-lesbians insisting on calling themselves lesbians and being in lesbian spaces. Not in all cases, but in many cases the non-lesbians were the ones at the vanguard of insisting lesbians be more open to having men in our spaces.

    It's one of the reasons why I think lesbians need to be vigilant and tell all the bisexuals and celibate straight women wanting to hide from their own toxic culture to buzz along and stay out of our lesbian-only spaces. There are plenty of other spaces where they can mingle with lesbians if they want to.

    I watch this shit-show almost as long as you and you are right.I always believed that their end would come if their vile demands and tactics spilled to the mainstream and started harming heterosexual people.

    It does make me feel better, indeed! Thank you for sharing how things unfolded, I wasn't aware of it. Yes, we just continue to be loud and organized and it's all going to be fine again.

    Is that country Russia? I'm half Russian and that side of the family says the gay comes from my Canadian side since there's no gays in Russia.

    That is a great point, as they seem to be more aggressive because we are not all over the place online to some extent and the foundation/congregation scares them, especially since IRL pride was canceled. They always had to be constantly validated and it’s tiresome for those that can see through the bullshit. Misery loves company though

    well I think they're facing a bit of a conundrum this year with regards to the whole 'Pride' issue. Because on the one hand, even if world events are stopping the marches, all the Woke media of course want to virtue-signal the hell out of the whole thing online. BUT, there's a big danger that people could start listening to the 'wrong voices', esp. in the wake of some things which are currently happening like JK Rowling speaking up, transitioning of minors being questioned in the UK, Allison Bailey's actions against Stonewall. So they really have to go the extra mile to try and shut up all the riff-raff (ie the actual LGB) who might get the general public realising that all is not well in Alphabet Utopia.

    If that’s the case, I hope we keep giving them a conundrum and show them that we cannot be silenced

    I decided to make signs and go stand outside city hall just to show the world what's happening. They cant shut us up.

    I'm not going back into the closet I'll be damned .

    Seems my protest piece everyone hated was right .

    They want to throw us in the closet tied up with tape on our mouth with terf burned into our forehead.
