    Default 'pride'

    I'm gay.


    ....But I do not get, or enjoy pride, in the slightest bit.


    I did a little when I was younger, but even then it felt like a different time. When I was in high school in the early 00s I got made fun of really bad for being gay, and when I first found 'pride' it was kind of a nice feeling. But as I got older (am 35 now) I just... I feel like yeah, there's still hate out there, but we've come a long way and have a lot more acceptance, and the people that do still hate aren't going to change their minds with sex parades... or companies changing their logo for the month... (If anything I feel like it deepens the hate.)


    I'm having a harder time this month because... as I've said, in late april my bf of 13 years broke up with me, and, though it wasn't the main reason, it was A reason in the list, that I didn't have any pride. And I just... don't get it at all. I'm not 'ashamed' to be gay, but I'm not 'proud' to be gay either. It... I'm sorry, but it just feels stupid to be 'proud' of who you're attracted to. - I didn't say all that to him, but yeah. (It hurts worse because he was actually in the closet for 11 years - it was long distance - but he would come over here and be one of the family, but his family didn't know I existed until 2020. (And we got together in 2009).



    And I mean I wouldn't have stopped him from going to those events, but I just didn't have any interest in it. And that was actually a reason he listed, after 13 years, and being in the closet for 11. It just felt like such a slap in the face.


    So I know this probibly isn't the best fourm to ask this, but its the best outlit I have... Is it really bad that I don't like 'pride'? Why do some people think I must be self hating?

    Funny how you don't hear anyone talk about being proud to be heterosexual. Although, you do get those who brag every time they get laid. (I always wondered why some women don't mind having their one night stands plaster their names all over the place.) But you don't see any "heterosexual pride" marches.

    Anyway, whatever I think out your lifestyle, I am still too busy trying to get my life in order to pay attention to what you do behind closed doors. Don't you think everyone should be that way?

    Uh... I don't even know where to BEGIN with that. You do know there are still places where they MURDER people for being gay, right? Rape too of course. Legally.



    And until they started doing Pride Festival it happened in America... a lot.

    I've read in some Arab societies they engage in public castrations and/or "necklacing." That's where a car tire is chained around your neck, gasoline is poured on it, and then it is set on fire.

    Ok. So, as a transgender (male to female) person myself, I feel I have a platform to speak my opinion on this.


    I have very often been conflicted by the idea that I should have 'pride' in who I am based on something so inconsequential as my gender identity, because to be 'proud' of something, means that I have accomplished a task worthy of praise. Don't get me wrong; coming out of the closet is one of the most difficult things anyone can do. Bigotry will always persist; those people are 'too far gone' in their views. It is so important to remember that people in the LGBT+ community (Despite many different viewpoints), will always support others of the community, because it is that support that will always count.

    Even bigots can change their minds if they are educated. Not all, but some do. I think such a thing is SUPER!!
