If it were just acceptance they were after then there would be no need for promoting LGBTQ pride. They are simply promoting LGBTQ pride.Acceptance has nothing to do with it.

Don't celebrate your birthday anymore then.

Seriously, why do you care so much?

What is being taken away from you?

I do agree with this, and I think the left is too afraid to pull on the thread as to why (it's because the most vocal of the LGBT are white millenials so there is a racial favoritism involved I think.)

Regardless, I just don't see the allure in being upset about them.

This is certainly true in a lot of ways, there's no doubt about that. I think from a governmental, business, and otherwise "official" level you can't dispute this. But I still think there is room to grow on the personal level in this country.

Regardless of that, I just don't understand why people get so pissy about it. It has zero impact on me, so I lose absolutely no sleep about it. This country has turned into a million Karens ready to bitch and moan about anything and everything.

Did you even know if the USMNT was going to wear "pride" numbers before last night when you saw them?

Seriously? It was blasted all over their twitter.

It's not so much about the kits from last night, but the entire messaging and marketing of both US national teams. I feel zero connection to this team.

---

I don't think it has much to do with last night considering every company and league competes with one another to see which can out-pride the other, but I do think it's true that the national teams are largely ignoring what should be their target demo - middle class families.

We have a national "insert stupid shite here" day for every day of the year now.

June 2 is National Rocky Road Day. Nothing stupid about that, amigo.

Do you turn everything off you don't like? Are you that ignorant?

Do you not know what we're debating here?

You're the one saying that the reason fans don't show up is because of the pride thing.

quote:

---

Just because I don't like it doesn't mean I turned it off. It also doesn't mean I don't get the right to bitch about it.

---

You have the right to do whatever you want, to an extent, but I just don't understand why you are so triggered by something that has no affect on you. unless you are actively worried about dudes coming from behind and pegging you.

Seems like a miserable way to live.

That's because your trying to hard. It's ok to force the rainbow shite on everyone, it's not ok for some to not like the rainbow shite. Got it, you're a huge hypocrite.

Your reading comprehension sucks my friend.

I said none of this.

quote:

Do you know any actual gay people or do you just rainbow knight for them? My gay friends couldn’t give a shite about “pride,” they just live their lives like normal folks

---

Where have I actually defended gay people in this?

Hell, I even called out the community a few posts back.

All my stance in this is that I don't give a shite about the pride numbers and that they weren't the reason why not many fans showed up last night.

But by all means, continue to bend over backwards to make me the enemy.

Would have been better if you’d said “bend over forwards”.

Did you upvote yourself for that one?
