I’m not LGBT, first of all. I just sort of get what pride is about.
They don’t want to have to hide their differences. Pride has a deal of “look how different I am” built into it because that’s how people advertise that they’re not ashamed of the things that set them apart from non-LGBT people.
The goal isn’t to just be like everybody else. For a lot of LGBT people, that’s exactly what closeted life was. The goal is to show that their lives are more enjoyable for them now that they’re no longer trying to just blend in to the background.
To anyone who doesn’t have personal experience with this stuff, your opinion doesn’t matter. You don’t have a horse in this race. Not every lgbt person wants loud representation, and others do. These are the people who matter in these debates. It’s about us. Not you. Get over it.
But in the off chance this was a serious question, LGBT people/teens in need usually refers to counseling (not conversion therapy), shelters (still to this day, many are kicked out and disowned by their families) and sometimes even legal counsel for discrimination in certain states (more often Red states than not).
I understand where you are coming and what you are saying.
But this was an event about charity for
A DISEASE
After all this is something that affects families around the world and should be supported.
Sexual orientation on the other hand is something that is becoming way more normal these days and what you are implying is that they are ‘‘special’’ in some way? Isn’t that the opposite of what LGBT people want?
I mean I am a male, should I go making posts about how Blizzard should make a ‘‘male’’ skin for a hero simply because I am male?
I think this is just a little bit dramatic don’t you?
You’d think that after the LGBT [redacted]fests of December 2016, January2017, March2017, June2017, August2017, November2017, and late Feb2018 on the forums, that people would know a lot of the community doesn’t approve of this.
