As a flaming hetero male, that went right over my head. Do lesbians procrastinate paying bills or is it something else?

You should listen to MALINDA 's song based on this. It comes out June 15th

@@MichaelJP I think the point is a lot of queer representation, especially during pride, tends to be of a particular kind that isn't always relatable to/representative of many queer people. Yes, drag queens and confetti cannons are awesome, but two married lesbians are awesome too!

@@assassin743 Makes sense, thanks for the explanation. 👍

Do you need to talk? Are you safe? Hugs to you, stranger. Great song choice, but you shouldn’t have to live that way.

@@83gemm hey! Im okay 😄 thx for the virtual hug

Sending love to ya, wishing you happiness and peace in life pal 💖

His singing is amazing! So is his comedy!

Dude, get out of there. :) (I know, I know, easier said than done…)

ouch... sud immagino?

Immagino che anche in veneto o simili non sia una passeggiata.

@@glitch84-maybe not in Veneto, but in Venezia? Come in. Gayest place on earth.

I don’t know enough about Italy to know this… but are there safe places for you in your own country? Gotta be right? Jesus, I’m such an American. I know nothing. I just wish I could hug you and help you. For what it’s worth, you’ve got a middle aged dumb American rooting for you. Stay safe.

That brings up even more questions

People also love to fully erase Aromantic/ Asexual people. “ You just haven’t found the right person yet” “ You just cant get any” “ You just want to feel special”. If the label isn’t Straight/ Gay people love to tell you your just confused.

Are you comfortable talking about how that went? I’d love to hear it. Thank you for being brave enough to be yourself even then.

@@83gemm Coming out in 1968 meant accepting one's being gay and keeping it within the gay group of friends we established. We were not public about it. We traveled within a circle of gay friends, went to the dance clubs which mostly were located in less desirable neighborhoods. There was a network of shared information as to where to go, safely, including which beaches in the summer.

@@keltus_warrior6491 I have a lot of respect for your generation and previous ones then owe a lot of my self acceptance to your efforts. I want to share my experience so that you understand how some of us are so very grateful for your generation. My grandparents' generation in 1940s San Francisco had Homophile men and women in their community. My mother grew up surrounded by both men and women couples because my grandfather had broken his arm as a kid and the nurse that set in the late 1920s was actually a Lesbian. They became friends since he was a teenager and she was in her early twenties. The world opened up a little bit with true allies not figures of imagination. It allowed me to be open and honest with my family in the 1990s when I came out at the age of 8 during my first confession for communion in Church. I just wanted to be honest and real which caught my Parish Priest off guard because 8 year olds during communion usually confess to something small or trivial. My Church, Parish, Community, and Family supported me through it all with my mother being the strong person raised with understanding from her family. It is your generation and the generations that came before you that made this all possible. I hope that you read this because it's really hard now, especially after the HIV Pandemic almost cleared the board, to actually be able to express gratitude. 💓

And that's a bad thing? 😂

You are right. We own people no explanation about what we are and frankly at the end I think nobody cares

@@claudiodusi1956 of course they cares. Ppl always cares about other's lives, the whole entertainment industry from Homer to k-pop about it!

So don't ask don't tell, huh. Never works.

@@sufyanlowel4631 Why doesn't it work? What even is there to work? And what is your definition of "care", the superficial one? And to the original comment, I take it that you do tell people honestly if they ask about it? Doesn't that pretty much mean you have already come out? Or are you actively hiding and/or suppressing that you are gay? It's not like people have to walk around starting every conversation with "just so you know, I'm gay", honestly this would actually be a bit annoying if this were the case lol. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the comment, if so, I'm sorry.

@@ruud9761 blah. blah. blah. you're so ashamed of yourself

honey, just google why Prides are matters if you really interesting. it's all explained long time ago.

What a weird comment. You explained in the first AND second half why people go: one, to stand up for human rights, and two, dancing and having fun. No need to be such a hipster about it.

No. Even when some kind of equality is achieved, there are ALWAYS people who want to fight back and they will try to remove the rights lgbtq+ have obtained. Look at the abortion law in U.S. That could happen to anything people have earned. There are already people talking about overthrowing the marriage equality law (act?). The moment we lower our guard, it's when we risk losing our rights. This goes for anything, not only lgbtq rights, but also women rights, workers' rights, etc ect

Do you think once a marginalized group gets rights they just stay that way? Minority communities have to fight to stay visible and maintain every inch of social and legal acceptance we've fought for. We can just lay down the baton and go home. The moment that happens we will lose it all again.

First off - I love that you went to Prides out of solidarity in a country where I'm sure it was risky to do so. Nothing I say next takes away from my respect for you for that, ok? And I get that coming from a place like that, it's gonna seem like people where you live now have pretty much zero "real problems" in terms of oppression. I'm not gonna say you're totally wrong since it's a question of perspective. Second - but I promise you you'd eventually feel different if you were living your next two decades or so as an lgbtq person there. Especially if you were, say, suddenly transformed into a trans 15 year old in one of the rougher areas or more conservative rural parts. I live in Sweden, as progressive as it gets (although we've been rolling back on trans issues in the last few years 💔), but people absolutely do get hate crimed, discriminated, and just you know looked at a little different. It's mostly a lot more lowkey than in most places on earth and for that I'm certainly grateful, but that doesn't help the people who still do have their lives ruined. But yeah, in a lot of places here it's a lot about the party, and that's great for them, but I don't go either cause I'm the person who hates parties 😂

Usually if it’s a twin couple or 2 sister they are both gay

@@Noname-lw6hpno lol, ur getting it wrong, if people were not gay before its BECAUSE of social influence (they were just not comfortable saying it or even exploring it). Now, people are more comfortable being what they want to be and loving who they want (the only influence social here have is to make people do what want to do, its not a trend or wtv this isn't tik tok lol) No one is gay just cuz it seems cool lol (anyways for the most part im sure there are some exceptions and that does not include people who are still searching themselves which is still fine if they're not sure yet)

@@Noname-lw6hp lol, go read a book.

@@Noname-lw6hp So all the straight couples birthing gay children throughout the centuries just TOLD them to be gay.... yeah, that makes sense.

All twelve years old girls are ticking time bombs!

Now we just need an hour long documentary about the secret ingredient in Jack O'Neill's bbqing🤣

two things can be real

I think it’s the price for things getting better. Younger people generally have NO IDEA how much better it is. (I said generally!) I’m 41 cishet female and I was talking to this 20-year-old gay lad who had never heard of Matthew Shepherd. I was like, oh damn. I mean, awesome. He doesn’t exist in that world. But… ugh. I have a better understanding of his community’s recent history than he does. Just because I was around then as an outside observer. That feels icky. He also asked me why Cher was such a big deal and I had to walk away. 😂

Well as another 14 year old lesbian, your experience is much more relatable 😃🔫

You’re still very young. I hope you see things change or can get somewhere safe.

True but at the same time, it’s not like it’s a tattoo or a cage you trap yourself in for life. In my opinion, the sooner kids internalise that their identity and the way they perceive themselves are fluid things that they’ll never stop redefining, the better. It’s not like someone’s gonna be like “welp you said you were gay at age seven so now you’re trapped like that forever, sorry but that’s the rules”. It doesn’t _have_ to be a reductive or restrictive thing, just teach the next generations that all of the rules are made up.

I'm sure you say the same about heterosexual children

Yep! It's gay agenda! We must protect our children! Poor kids, take them to the priest, it helps.

@@glitch84- Of course not, lol. Hell, kindergartens have little "wedding days" where they pair up opposite gender children and go through all the motions of a traditional straight wedding with cake and pictures! No one says a peep about that, but the second they pair up two boys there'd be a f^ckin' MELTDOWN from parents.

7 is too young lmao… Tell me you’re not a homosexual without telling me you’re not a homosexual. I’ve known I was a homosexual since I’ve had conscious awareness… 😂 that’s kind of key in the ‘born this way’ theory.

Seven isn’t even too young for OTHERS to know. Lol. I used to be a classroom aide and I remember after my very first day I was so conflicted because there was this one boy who I thought, oh, he’s gay. Then I instantly felt like a bigot projecting prejudice on a little kid. So I very casually said to the classroom teacher, “Hey… is it possible to know if a six-year-old-“ She immediately said, “Yes, [childs name] is gay. You can’t work in elementary and ever try to act like sexuality is a choice. You can absolutely tell.” And I generally could. They’re all adults now and I stay in touch with some (small town). I’m so happy most of them grew up comfortable enough to come out. One girl(woman now, although I’ll always see her as the little one crying on the first day of school, love her heart) just got married and she and her wife look so dang happy. Besides, I knew at 7 that I was heterosexual (although I didn’t know the word). I knew boys were cute in a way that girls weren’t to me. Why wouldn’t a homosexual kid know the same way?

You also used YOUR TIME to watch it and hate on someone 🥲
