Holy crap. We didn't even make it 11 hours into pride month before all hell broke loose.
Make no mistake, the gay people of TexAgs are absolutely loving this thread. The slurs and insults give them recognition they desire so much. Those are basically ammo for the armor they wear that is their flamboyant/or countercultural lifestyle.
Understand: being gay or trans is largely a choice. I say largely because it is neo-genetic meaning it is highly influenced by your environment. That's the latest science we have. Fact.
Also understand that when you converse with gay people, 99% of the time they will admit that the lifestyle sucks. (especially the older guys). (Anecdotal)
Fact: Depression is more prevalent in LGBQT+ individuals. This has gotten worse, not better, over time. So has all depression numbers sadly but at least we cannot blame non-acceptance for the depression in our LGBQT brothers and sisters getting worse based off the lack of acceptance since it is clear there is more acceptance now than ever before. If we are clearly more accepting now than we were 20 years ago, and depression and suicide is markedly worse, then either way you cant blame non-acceptance for suicide. As a matter of fact it is more logical to blame the infliction that is gender dysphoria and a internalization of sodomy and same sex attraction.
Therefore--What LGBQT+ people are really after this month, may just be a big party to celebrate themselves when they never get to (Which, ok whatever, go nuts), but from that end this month is way less admirable than it comes off at face value. It is clearly narcissistic, which makes sense considering the term they coined for the month is "pride".
