    This is what happens when you insert politics into areas where they don't belong.

    No matter what side the issue falls on you're going to piss someone off.

    Why can't they simply play baseball and leave it at that?

    I don't understand why all of these groups feel like everyone is supposed to take a stand and support them.

    So you're gay ( or whatever other "thing" is the thing now......)

    News flash.... The rest of the world largely does not give a damn.

    It's not enough for these people to simply exist, they have to demand that everyone "takes a stand on the issue".

    Is it okay if we simply do not care? Why don't you see heterosexuals forming groups and demanding that everyone comes out and supports them?

    Your issues do not have to be my issues. I do not have to care.

    It’s the lack of what is said while condemning others that’s the issue.

    Pointing out hypocrisy and cognitive dissonance is a tool that attempts to wake people up but so many would prefer to lay asleep.

    Just a side note: while these attempts to call this out frequently upset the individual that refuses to see their own bias — it is more meant to illuminate said bias for viewers that are open to new information.

    This thread alone shows what is going on with the anti LGBT hate even when they are charities vs support of open pedophile organizations.

    That's very doubtful because heterosexuals just go about living their normal life and don't think they need to parade it in front of people and think that other people are supposed to go "oh how brave, we need to celebrate them" !
    And then accuse you of being bigoted and homophobic just because you don't agree with them and don't think that they're special.

    Were heterosexuals ever arrested for being heterosexual? Executed? Placed in camps and gassed? Targeted with police stings? Denied healthcare? Denied rights? Representation made illegal in schools?

    (this is a yes or no question by the way)

    Where do you think gay pride came from?

    Injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere.

    Like it or not injustice against gay people is EVERYONE's issue.

    100% — all the people saying they don’t care while simultaneously cheering charities being banned because of their membership is why this is such a major issue.

    They “don’t care” as long as they hurt people they don’t like like but rest assured if it was a religious group that was removed they wouldn’t be able to contain their rage.

    If you don't give a damn if someone is gay then why such a push to make sure it isn't mentioned to kids in school?

    Straight pride events[edit]
    Heterosexual pride parades exist as a response to societal acceptance of LGBTQ visibility, and originated in campuses in the 1990s as a backlash tactic.[1][4]

    Incidents where the slogan or concept of "Straight pride" caused controversy have occurred since the late 1980s. In 1988, Vermont Republican John Burger asked the state's Governor to establish a "Straight Pride Day".[11] In 1990, rallies in support of Straight Pride were held at the University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMass Amherst) organized by the group Young Americans for Freedom; and at nearby Mount Holyoke College.[12] The UMass event was promoted as "Burn a *** in Effigy" rally.[13] Conservative organizations at UMass Amherst held another such event the next year, attended by about fifty people and protested by a crowd estimated to be ten times larger.[14]

    "Straight pride parades"[15][16][17] or "straight pride days"[11][18][19][20] have been organized in response to similar events organized by LGBTQ groups.[21] Other events, typically occurring in United States high schools where First Amendment concerns arise,[22] have revolved around people desiring to wear "straight pride" t-shirts.[23][24][25][26][27]

    At a 2010 Tea Party Express rally in Lansing, the state capital of Michigan, a vendor was selling t-shirts printed with the slogan "straight pride".[28] Some state and national gay advocacy groups denounced the shirts, claiming that they echoed the use by racist groups of a "white pride" slogan. Some of the opposition arose from reports that the shirt seller was a sponsor of the event with a cut of sales funding the Tea Party Express, although those reports may not have been accurate.[28][29]

    Support for straight pride events is often based on religious objections to homosexuality.[14][30] Groups such as the White Aryan Resistance and Ku Klux Klan have also tried to oppose "gay pride" by stressing straight pride.[31]

    So why is the lgbtq community have a problem with it?

    And you don't realize that these are very much most likely, events organized in answer to pride parades.

    I guess people probably get tired of seeing men parade around in g-strings and banana hammocks

    I suppose it's important that you take the small victories where they may be found. Congratulations.

    I just don't really care. And no one is saying that you cannot mention gay in school.

    But perhaps it's not your hyperbolic exaggeration and I'm simply imagining that's the case...... In which case you can demonstrate to me that there is some prohibition about even saying gay in school

    Don't you think homosexuals would like to "just go about living their normal life"?
    Don't you think that homosexuals would be happy that a teacher could show a movie that has a gay character in it and not end up being investigated?
    Don't you think that homosexual teachers would love to be just as open about their spouse to their students as straight teachers?

    Kids don't seek out churches, but churches certainly seek out children. LOTS of children. For thousands of years. And despite all that we know about the physical & sexual abuse of children in churches and church run institutions parents still force children to attend. Many of those same parents are the ones screaming about drag queens. Probably the sort of people who "just want to have a child to teach them how evil these people are".

    As for 'not liking' paedophiles, you are certainly in a rush to mimimize their behaviour when they are connected to churches. Also fascinating.

    A Petition to get Hernandez, a school board member to resign.
    15,000 + signatures so far.

    Lotsa and more lotsa security, it's Floriduh so shoot first ask questions later when you FEEL threatened.
    We know how the GLBTQ community threatens DeSantians just by existing.

    'Online petition started against Hernando school board member involved in Disney movie flap"

    "Meanwhile, the district is changing the location for the next school board meeting, as officials are expecting a larger than usual crowd, given the circumstances.

    The May 30 meeting will be held at Hernando High School, in the campus theater. This applies to the board workshop at noon and the regular meeting at 6 p.m.

    There will also be extra security measures in place. No bags, purses or backpacks will be allowed, and visitors will be screened by metal detectors.

    Additional law enforcement officers and school guardians will also be present'.

    The problem is having a "pride night" in the first place. They are about baseball, not woke politics.
