Halloween has its pumpkin pie. XMas has its candy canes. Thanksgiving has its turkey. Da Yoopers have der pasties doncha knows?

Since when do homosexuals have a holiday with an established food? Wouldn’t a fruit cake have fit better?

    You don’t hold hands in public? You’ve never gently kissed an SO in public? Does everyone around you think “Oh my god, those people are probably having sex.” No, because it’s perfectly accepted for a man and woman to hold hands or kiss in public. Gays should have that level of acceptance, too. But they don’t because people like you are saying they should have no pride in their relationships.

    That’s all pride is. Being yourself and not hiding in a closet. And it applies to the transgendered, gender queers, asexual, and the whole rainbow.

    “ThOsE tHiNgS sHoUld be kEpT PrIvaTe”

    This is why we need pride month! To let people know it’s OK to be queer and not hide in a closet. People like you are why we need pride to be a thing. A very-out-in-the-open thing. You need constant reminders until you fully understand what a fight it’s been—and still is—for acceptance. Acceptance won’t come from hiding away. It demands people stand proud.

    That’s what pride means! So anyone can feel OK holding hands in public or simply existing! It has nothing to do with sex or anything private.

    Be better.
