Today in Tranada: it's now hateful and bigoted to NOT ATTEND Pride on your free time. Also, the Catholic Church is a cult with far too much influence.

Oh no, I don't think they should have been there

So you've already come to your conclusion and are using anything you can find to justify your coming to that conclusion. They don't attend and it's proof they're all bigots, they show up and they're clearly only doing it to show they're not bigots and they don't actually care.

This is just new religion lashing out at old religion. Pride is increasingly becoming a new religious holiday, I saw someone post a picture the other day of "Pride Eve", there are people out there trying to shame people for their behaviour or speech because it occurred gasp during Pride. Saturday's events were just another perfect example of that, "Well maybe those lesbians had a point, but couldn't this have waited until after Pride? We're supposed to be one big happy family" sounds exactly like what plenty of people hear every Christmas.

Is this why Pride is celebrated in this new religion? In the old one it was one of the cardinal sins.

Nah, that was initially as a reaction to being shamed for being who they were. Really the opposite of shame in situations like that is not feeling ashamed rather than necessarily pride (and you even have a good number of gay people saying that nowadays)

Though as another example, look at the planetary maps they used to draw up when geocentrism was the theory of the day. We're always told to trust the science, but that's a perfect example of how religion interferes with that. The lengths they had to go to, the knots they had to tie themselves up in to justify geocentrism, and have it line up with the observable movements of the planets were ridiculous. Planets just looping back on themselves for no reason. Because to dispute geocentrism was to dispute the church's teachings.

And yet now we're told to believe a man can become a woman, just because equally afraid scientific institutions are claiming it can happen, because they don't want to risk going against the modern church and they're tying themselves up in similar knots in an attempt to justify it. Sometimes things are genuinely more complicated than they may seem at first, but often enough if someone is trying to make out that something simple is actually incomprehensibly complicated, they're probably bullshitting.

The planets didn’t loop back on themselves “for no reason”, it was necessary under the Ptolemaic model of the solar system for Planets to have epicycles in order to explain the observations of retrograde planetary movements in the night sky. The model was sufficient for the pre-Copernican astronomers and astrologers to make predictions about the position of the planets and agreed with the underlying philosophical pinnings of the church (Aristotle). In fact the Ptolemaic model produces identical predictive outputs to the Copernican model.

What I’m trying to say is, all the gender identity shit is way more retarded that the Ptolemaic model of the universe because at least the Ptolemaic model worked, and when something better came along it was (eventually) thrown out the window.

I went to pride this year in a US city. I was dragged to keep someone company because his bf was in an event.

I was at an outdoors area (not the parade). Rough observation: 90% of the people there were morbidly obese. Most of those people were women with blue hair. We sat down and I notice like 3 guys walking towards our seating area and think "oh finally some attractive guys" only to realize they were the janitors coming over to empty the trash. A bit later I see another guy who seems attractive the crowd moves apart and i realize he is wearing a speedo with a nearly unbelievable bulge like he has a floppy quart of milk in there. He then says something to a person and i realize he's a dancer at the gay club. So in total I saw about 4 attractive guys. 3 were janitors and the other... Might possibly be a nice guy but he could kill a man with his unit.

Everyone else is a bunch of obese wildebeests, probably all straight but identify as "queer" because they are too far to be recognized as male or female... So 100% do not recommend attending.

After the sun goes down the bars open so I get dragged there. We show up and the cost to get in is like 50 per person. We go in and finally all the obese blue hairs are gone. I guess none of them have money. But I can't stand brain shattering volume so I'm just standing there as the designated driver waiting for everyone to get tired enough to leave.

I did see 1 really attractive guy at the bar but I know who he is and as far as I know he is straight but likes having gay friends because they all give him attention.

So that was pride. 0 out of 10 do not attend. I am a hateful bigot i guess.

Lol that was an interesting read. I can't say I've ever attended Pride. It seems like it's become a thing for failed adults and weirdos to self-aggrandize and act like martys.

What was the deal with giant dick guy I wonder? Injectables? Surgery?
