The way I see it the fact that I was born cis-gendered and heterosexual was just random chance, and if I hadn't been it could so easily have been me on the receiving end of vitriol and hate. Even though I could easily say "well, I'm not part of the community so it's nothing to do with me, I'm not going to participate in this". I think the key to changing attitudes and stopping prejudice is to take away fear of the unknown and educate, and to demonstrate that LGBTQ+ is accepted and celebrated. Maybe where you live and where I live things are pretty peaceful, maybe even positive when it comes to attitudes about LGBTQ+ people. I think there is a good point to having Pride Month. I just wanted to provide a different perspective. Not that you need anyone else to tell you that.

No, I don't expect you to partake in it your reasons seem personal to you and you're free to do whatever you want. Just don't expect me to partake in it, otherwise I'd imagine you'll be rather disappointed." If it's your thing, go ahead and be my guest I won't go after you for it. Though, this is not to say, I neglect it altogether, but there are better things to put more up front and centre.Īs to whether I think people shouldn't celebrate it at all or there's no need whilst I may think there isn't for myself I could honestly care less about whether you do it or not. So what if I'm more homosexually inclined? I don't really see a need to concern about it all that much. To me, it is a secondary concern to the overall picture. Nor do I see any point as a whole, to set any amount of time to such a minor facet in the path of life.

There is a time and a place for everything. You are going out of your way to argue with individuals about topics ranging from what they should find offensive to what they should bother celebrating. It is not up to you to decide what others think is appropriate to celebrate in order to make themselves feel more accepted within a community. You absolutely reserve the right to decide whether or not your sexuality should be celebrated. Homophobia and transphobia are alive and well. If you think that the majority of LGBT+ people live in a "friendly" or "neutral" area, then I really urge you to read some of the books on this list. So you are uninterested in pride month and think it's unnecessary, yet keep returning to "42 New Books to Read this Pride Month" to argue with commenters.
