Finally, as a bisexual male, I've had this sentiment a long time now as well. Pride isn't about anything else than oppression olympics and hating on those that are straight. The fact that they're doing their best to spread pride to children is just creepy as fuck. Children don't need to be exposed to this at a young age, because they cannot understand the deeper implications. Same as you wouldn't take a kid to a strip club either!

Edit: Actually, yeah.. seems like this group is associating with nazis and Qanon, no thanks: https://www.businessinsider.com/proud-boys-2022-break-records-anti-lgbtq-protests-extremism-watchdog-2023-1?r=US&IR=T

I follow their account on social media and generally agree with their sentiments. I find it bizarre that their quite reasonable points are being slandered as "far right".

Saying that one of their founders used to work for another far right organization therefore you shouldn't listen to anything they say is a typical ad hominem logical fallacy. The argument itself is not rebutted, you are being encouraged to ignore the message due to the source.

Basically anything that isn't just "do whatever the hell you want" is now a "conservative" opinion to mainstream culture, it's ridiculous
