    It’s called “pride”. If you’re not proud of it then I guess just don’t show up.

      I am proud, and I’d like to join a movement that actually accomplishes meaningful change for the acceptance of LGBT+ people, which I believe pride parades currently do not.

      I’ll join the pride parade the day the goal becomes to convince others that we’re just like them, with jobs, families and bills to pay. Not sex-crazed maniacs, which is the stereotype perpetuated by a small minority amplified on right wing media.

        I know, it was a month ago, but…

        There are extroverts and introverts. Some people are almost totally naked or dressed very special, dancing around, trying to get the attention…

        And there is the huge majority that goes there just to support the community, maybe with a flag, maybe without…

        Guess, who is in the newspapers the next day? The quiet, shy guy from nextdoor or the extrovert I described above?

        I am from Germany and here, the mix between those 2 types of people is good IMO…
