Although I completely agree with this, I also think it’s important that there is a very small minority of people who genuinely do seek to “shove pride down people’s throats.” They are typically the people that are un proportionally framed by news outlets. I’m just saying it’s not fair to claim it doesn’t happen at all. Regardless happy pride month! 🏳️🌈
So like a specific example would be people taking advantage of a pride parade to have public sex while children are present. This is a specific example that has been documented that you are arguing for. This is the shit that people take and claim everyone in the community acts like when they don’t. Explain how this is resistance.
I’ve had way more people actually tell me that I’m religious when I’m not than people tell me I’m gay lmao. While there is a small minority on both sides, OP is asking that for just one month people don’t fly off the handle for seeing a flag. I can see that you’re trying to remind us not to assume, but I don’t think this is the post for that conversation
