Copying a comment I made in the r/ sub the other day and remembered this joint. So... Here goes
Sup DT? Can I ask a very controversial question on a perhaps controversial subject (depending on who you are and perhaps political leanings).
Pride Month.... This question is perhaps aimed at those within the LBGT+ community, do you like Pride Month, or do you think that it's becoming a bit forced and you just wish society would move on and just treat you as a regular ol' joe/jane?
Because as a straight man, whilst i'm not annoyed or angry or REEEEE about corporations/game developers or whatever with their Pride Month celebrations, I feel like it's pretty rude to highlight a month for a group of people who just want to be treated like anyone else, and not be put on a platform every june?
I apologise if this comes off as rude, or as a "a straight man talking about pride month stuff". I support LBGT stuff as much as the next person does.
I answered this in the other place already, so I won't repeat myself
How have the answers thoughtfully provided to you so far influenced your opinion?
I high-key love your low-key sass ๐๐ผ
