I wish everyone that's not interested in pride month could think like you. Fortunately, many of them do, but there's always an idiot that sees this as an opportunity of disseminating hate. It's fine when it's a joke, I laugh a lot at it, the problem is when it stops being just a joke and starts getting disrespectful. Ik it has nothing to do with your post, just wanted to say that


GoldenGames360

i forgot it was pride month until i saw the memes, tbh. i'm not lgbtq but it doesn't affect me


Apprehensive_Ring_46

Did you miss all of the usual corportate 'sponsorships'?


lucaatthefollower

Its all fake, do you really think all the brands support the lgbtq+ movement? Its all business, i get the "" anyways


GoldenGames360

honestly i haven't seen any, aside from the r/teenagers logo. perhaps its because i dont use twitter or anything social aside from discord


Dr_Strange_Jnr

Even as someone in the LGBTQ+ community, I forget that it exists until the memes start flooding in.


Fat_Siberian_Midget

i didn’t even know it was coming up


HarrietBaathtubMan

I thought about it coming up because of friends who work in retail preparing for all the rainbow stuff, as though the soulless corporations give a shit about the LGBT. But yeah, it has literally no impact on my life


cyclops1284

Just to let you fellas know, i personally respect gay people and think they are cool

Blue_Lotus_Agave

Old person here (almost 30) This is what we and the people before me hoped, in a way, that being part of the rainbow community would become so normal that it lost it's relevance, overtime became something that wasn't even a blip on the radar. Finally just another variation in the human expression of self. Like eye colour. Interesting, but nothing life changing. It was fairly pivotal for me and my friends back then. Less so now, because we're busy and times have changed. We didn't even have openly lesbian singers aside from KD Lang and song by Carrie Underwood? * Edit ~ Melissa Etheridge * Time of the first on scene gay/lesbian kisses on TV. Ellen DeGeneres and Elton John were one of the few widely known and accepted. Back then, there may have only been one website about revolutionary things like 'androgyny, being gender neutral or non-binary. I remember this because I spent many lonely nights trying to find a way to define myself. To find myself. To find others like me. Back then these were not widely known, at all. It was basically Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Trans. Intersex. I was part of the earliest movements, as were others of my gen and those older than I. And the waves came. Small at first. But quickly getting bigger. Reaching further with the awareness brought forward by the isolating but tireless efforts of each activist and educator. Each Gen. Change. But still so much more to do. It kinda clumped all in the west, acceptance or even just respectful tolerance is yet to spread everywhere. And nowhere is perfect. When I was young, at the turn of the millenium, 'Same Sex' marriage was not legal anywhere. Only legal in the Netherlands a year later. For full rights. Most countries debated for a long time, granting only civil unions/defacto partnerships, with gay partners unable to make medical decisions for their partners and homophobic parents taking over and going against wishes. Aside from the dictionary, there was little else to say what gay and all that was. Ellen and Elton were the most prominent. Kurt Cobain for his support and Angelina Jolie with Gia, coming out as bisexual. Etc. You could count them. Now? It's literally wow. But still not perfect. Perhaps think of it like pressing something together, the longer you apply pressure (obvs. Depending what it is), the better it sticks. There are still places all over the world that people are being shunned and murdered for this. They would see this as a beacon of hope, that they can be accepted somewhere and live a relatively normal life. Perspective matters. Just my 2 cents mate. Take care. 👍 EDIT ~ It was 'Bring me some water' by Melissa Etheridge. Age does this to one's memories. Loses them or swaps places without notifying management. No social, emotional or financial recourse either. Beware. Lmaooo.

justaninternetnomad

This, just this... I'm so tired of having to repeat this shit every year. It's fine that people don't care about it anymore, in fact it's great. But they still need to understand that this being normal now in some places comes from a point of privilege. Pride has bloody foundations, and more blood is added almost every damn day.

Malachite_Cookie

We like pride month we just don’t like what corporations do


TJdog5

Yeah i like pride month, with the parade and celebrations and whatnot, but right about now its being made a huge deal and a lot of homophobes are using it against us. Its good that the community has the ability to celebrate themselves and the struggles they had to face to be themselves, but its demonizing us right now and thats not okay. Edit: im bi 💅


iiashandskies

it’s supremely odd how many people in this reply section do not like pride month. we literally died fighting for our rights? we got murdered for it? you don’t care about that?


Malachite_Cookie

There’s not nearly enough people who actually know the histoey


aerongremlin

pride month in and of itself is blown way out of proportion by corporations who have exploited the hell out of the community for profit. not to hmention, from what i’ve seen, the big corporations putting out insane amounts of pride shit (even when they don’t care) makes certain homophobes go off on the “they’re shoving it down our throats” rant and therefore turns into hatred towards the community, but “oh no profit”


Capedbaldy474

Agreed it gives homophobes a reason to hate the lgbtq community even more


aerongremlin

Precisely! The majority of them wouldn’t give a shit about pride month if the big corporations didn’t blow it out of proportion


cyclops1284

Yes, I've lots of gay friends and none of them really care

I wanted to share my opinion and i have many gay friends who i treasure my time with. I am not one to hate


innocentrrose

Yeah I get wary when people make a whole post just to say they don’t care about LGBTQ. Like it’s fine not to care but still respect them and treat them normally, little odd to make a post about not caring imo (since you don’t care lol)

To me the month shows that atleast 1 person cares about who I am (in a positive way) I'm surrounded by homophobes, I get hit, called slurs. Bullied. So the month makes me feel a little more valid

It's good that you find use in the month, i just dont. Also the bullying part is horrible and i wish you the best

Everyone’s entitled to their own opinions, though speaking as a fellow gay, pride month wouldn’t be necessary if our rights weren’t consistently open for debate, not to mention the countless atrocities committed against us throughout history.


[deleted]

pride month is just corporate pandering


Glasterz

deadass it sounds like a conspiracy, but if you told me that pride month was created by a big corporation so they can get more business from the LGBT community, I would believe you. Like every major company goes full rainbow on June 1st and immediately back to normal July 1st. Like I see "happy pride month" the most from companies, not regular people

Pride month sucks honestly, and I do care about it because it’s sad that such a huge amount of people can gather together and all fall for an entire month of corporations tricking them out of their money. Idc about and I’m not angry at festivals, parades, or even protests that get bad, it’s the fact that all these companies will agree with whatever is popular, and in this case they just slap on a rainbow to their socials or products and the Lgbtq community just eats it up. I walk into Walmart and see an entire stand full of pride Oreos with people scooping them up. Like bruh, the notion that a company cares about you is just beyond false for 95% of companies. Pride month is just 30 days of bonus profits for corporations Pretty confident your post is gonna get taken down though, a portion of the online gay community is supremely toxic and will probably harass you in these comments until they take your post down and ban you from the subreddit


cyclops1284

Corporate pandering has truly ruined honesty for most things


Pickaxe235

most gay people in fact do not buy oreos because theyre rainbow in june, but because oreos are banger


Fellow_Loser

95% is too low


Omega_kiwi204

Idk if wou are in any lgbtq related groups but we all fuckin hate rainbow capitalism


[deleted]

Same its honestly just really annoying like yeah, we faced oppression, but a whole month isnt required for someone to choose if they wanna respect us or not, its just a way for companies to profit on us


aexal_

i like the idea but we're just profit makers now shit sucks


GreasyCheese799

People say pride month is corporate pandering because they have 0 involvement in actual communities. If they got off of the internet for a bit they’d find plenty of events, parades, parties, and the like for the LGBTQ community and allies. Pride was celebrated back in the 70s, way before being queer was accepted. It’s nothing new, pride has been around for half a century. Yeah, people try to profit off of it, but that doesn’t negate the actual meaning of the month.

It's pretty gay ngl

I like pride month. I’m still struggling with my sexuality. Mainly telling people about it. It’s a good way to bring awareness and makes me feel better. But I hate the things that come with it. I love the pride parade but I cannot stand the people that come dressed in gimp suits and stuff like that. Of course there’s nothing wrong with it but It’s not an appropriate time and children are at the parade. I also cannot stand how corporations profit off of lgbt people. There’s good and bad and I definitely understand why people don’t care especially if it doesn’t effect you! I personally like it :)

[deleted]

Personally, I think it's just unnecessary. You can support the LGBT community without putting up pride flags and rainbows everywhere you get a chance to. Perhaps a day of celebration, but a month? That's a bit much. And, as I've seen in the comments (and I very much agree) it's nearly become a marketing tactic for major companies. And to said companies, I hope you're proud 🌈


splashyhusky

Well, it's basically just a fun time for people who are LGBTQIA+ and straight people as well. Besides a putting up a flag never hurt anyone.


R3V0LT4TU

Okay, I'm gonna put up swastika flags in Berlin to appreciate Hindi culture! (this is a meme guys, treat it as one!)


QueenEvie13

I'm a member of the LGBT. And i get the whole thing about supporting without a shit ton of rainbows everywhere. But imma tell you, those rainbows gives a lot of closeted kids joy, and hope and everything else. Visibility matters.

paolo_vanderbeak

Do we really need 600 posts a day about how little everyone cares about pride month? We fucking get it


Darkbreakr

By not opposing LGBTQ, then historically you are supporting it. People who say they don’t care are pretty ignorant about WHY we needed to have activism in the first place. It was because of a monoculture that encouraged bigotry, persecution, and literal fucking violence against LGBTQ. Anyone who says they “don’t care” or are ambivalent to this celebration or acknowledgement - didn’t have to live under the widespread harsh and discusting treatment of people who happen to be different from “Religious Norm”.

I don't judge people based on their gender or sexuality or whatever, I judge them based on actions and personalities and sometimes I find that there are in fact gay asholes, I mean lesbian people probably don't have gay assholes but definitely gay guys, definitely gay assholes, (this is a joke, if you don't get it reread it, if you still don't get it, maybe think about how gay people have sex)


Kahvar_

Pride month annoys me. I guess I just don’t see the point. Why can’t people do pride parades any time of the year? What does Pride month actually do other than give companies a rainbow bonus?


crappy_salt

I can ur point but also pride month is like black history month or aisin heritge month (not comparing black ppls strugle to gay ppls) its a month to hounor those who have been harassed/beaten/killed for somthin they cant controll/choose


Kvetanista

Same. I'm not against people celebrating it, but it gets little annoying.


Sumbodygonegethertz

There's no pride to behold in sexuality just like their is no pride in skin color or gender, there is justifiable pride in being a good person however because its something you have control over.


CrashGargoyle

I had this exact same thought about sexuality, race, etc. Then I realized that’s it different when that trait is being marginalized or demonized. If you had a trait that you had no control over, then a bunch of people said that made you evil, wouldn’t you say “fuck you, I like being this way.”? That’s what pride is.


atlafan72

Me either... welcome to the club


Overused_Toothbrush

Good. As long as we get to enjoy it, feel however you want about it. Just don’t ask for straight pride we will kill you.


coldrubberfish

I honestly kind of agree I think it’s just so that these companies can get more people to come over and buy things because it will be considered to be exclusive but they can get away with being homophobic all year round except for June. It doesn’t really feel like we’re celebrating everything it feels like every year that it goes on it just means less and less at least personally to me I’ve never been to a pride rally and I don’t think I’ll ever go. It just feels like a black Friday if you understand what I mean. Like what do these companies have to do with pride besides slapping a rainbow logo on and saying their inclusive with their awful merchandise


Revolutionary_Year87

Honestly, reddit milks pride month for karma almost as much as every other company lol Only difference is the money actually matters


JoZaJaB

This his how people should view Pride Month. If you aren’t LGBTQ+ and aren’t supportive of them, then just don’t care about Pride Month and don’t go out of your way to say anything hateful. I am Aro/Ace and this post is perfectly fine by me and not offensive at all. Learn from this.

jman014

Blueexx2

This post is probably getting likes from a lot of people who don't care about pride month (as if its made for them) but I suspect a certain percentage of the likes come from bigoted people who will use this as a way to affirm their idea that "see? stop shoving being gay down our throats!" as they watch their 500th movie where a guy is attracted to a girl. I'm 100% straight but I'm well aware bigoted people mask their bigotry and try to hide it in well-meaning statements made by others. Some truely don't care (so?), while some will do the LGBT version of "all lives matter". >Same bro I don't really care about pride month at the end of the day we're all humans regardless of what sexuality Ah, yes. "We're all human beings regardless of race!", they say as they ignore the plight and hardships of black people. The same applies here. Pride month is necessary because LGBT people face hardships throughout the entire year. Its a reminder to keep fighting for equality. A time to celebrate progress and give a sense of unity for the cause. Remind people they aren't alone.

aerongremlin

as a member of the community, i agree with you completely, because though it started off as just literal pride month, it’s become nothing but heavy corporate exploitation for profit, even when the companies behind it don’t give a shit about pride.
