@Dannydanbo : I’m curious. What would you have added to represent gay/queer and Asexual, Aromantic, and Trans, etc, culture? (Because LGBTQA is not just “gay”. It’s also got Trans and Ace.)
Some of us LGBT people do like the fact there are Pride celebrations and other celebrations for LGBT. I’m very closeted and live in a very, very divided state, so it’s nice to see some positive affirmation in various places in the U.S.
I personally do not care for the flags or rainbow stuff, but I appreciate what they represent, and I do not mind if people want to wear them or wave flags, etc. It’s a symbol of solidarity and positive affirmation, which some of us needs.
So, I’m not offended by Pride, because I would love to be out of the closet and attend a Pride event one day...
So I feel you’re being a bit angry and rude towards people who do like having items with those symbols and colors. We are a diverse group, and some of us like to express ourselves using those positive symbols and colors.
I would be interested to hear your suggestions of more stuff that can be brought from gay culture. I’m not involved in gay culture because I am so closeted, so I’m curious what kinds of things you think represent gay, queer, genderqueer, and trans, and Ace cultures?
