Why Progressive Events Like “Pride Month” Won’t Last 

This saying is brilliant. Did you make it up on the spot?

@@mikesecondname Heard it from a Channel talking about how Traditional European Architecture is making a Comeback. The one where the People who live in it like it but the modernist Architects hate.

​@@arnowisp6244 I don't know anyone who likes modern architecture and homes because it's so copy paste and sanitary. It's the perfect Indicator of where society as a whole has gone and why so many are becoming more disgruntled at things.

To anyone who's wondering what this is from, I think It was from G. K. Chesterton

@@miscellaneous2160 Damn. No wonder why it's from the legend Himself. Edit: Actually it's from Gustav Mahler.

What makes me the angriest about pride month is that it's *MY* birthday month. I am so gracious as to accept only a single day to celebrate the very emergence from my mother's womb unto the world, one piddly, tiny, little day for my entire being! And I don't even get it all to myself as other people got born that very day! And yet these selfish, egotistical *maniacs* demand and entire *month!?* For something as silly as a singular aspect of them? Is it the only aspect they have to them!? If so, that's sad.

Eventually the teenager grows up. Pride Members don’t.

That type of teenager doesn't grow up. Look how immature even 30 year olds are, using baby talk in normal conversations, inventing new slang constantly that no one understands, and the inability to manage their own lives

It would still get hate because in many places Like NYC and San Fran, they are wearing butt plugs and ball gags and leather thongs and they do all these sick fetish things out in front of GOD and everyone.

Although the fact it's Pride *MONTH* is a problem, it's not the only problem many of us have. The problem is what pride and the lgbt community has become. It's no longer just about lgbt acceptance, it's become celebrating their disgusting fetishes, perversions and kinks. No, I'm not saying being gay is a fetish, i mean actual perverted fetish crap. Just look up videos or pictures of pride parades you'll see people just flaunting sex toys or wearing bondage gear. I remember seeing a youtube ad that was pro gay/pride and an image they had in its montage showed men riding bikes and their lower bodies were censored; probably because they were wearing bondage gear. There's a reason why, for the first time in recent history, the younger generation is out right rejecting the lgbt community. Even lgbt people are rejecting the lgbt community because of how perverted and toxic it has become, and they don't want to be associated with that. Why would anyone want align themselves with an organization that publicly supports showing children, YOUNG CHILDREN, sexual content.

because one increases corporate profits and the other doesnt

The scarcity also makes Remembrance Day much more special, it doesn't need more time really. That's likely one of the many reasons why people don't like pride, the whole thing is utterly self-indulgent, and it's only gotten moreso as time went on. It's the same reason why retail workers hate Christmas, it's shoved in their face all day everyday for MONTHS.

@@stephenallen4635 With all due respect, I mentioned how you will often hear statements like this, I'm well aware every single one of these things is self-indulgent and thus very marketable.

@@Vaguer_Weevil I agree, I always put on my uniform and pay respects for that sacred hour at the cenotaph. If we gave it more time we'd all just get bitter, not just because of the length, but because it's a sad holiday. I will say though, I really love Christmas despite working retail for years. I however, would happily never hear "All I want for Christmas is you" or "Santa Baby" ever again.

I'm not defending pride month at all, but May is National Military Appreciation Month. It includes veterens and active service. Celebrate it how you please

Its not a competition

And fathers day

@@Will-eq6vy I can't agree entirely. While not everyone is extreme it still has turned into a tribalistic cult. ''Either follow the leader or be socially ostracized.'' It is a competition of who gets to be the crown of the pity party.

@@Will-eq6vy so you would be fine if we’d phase out pride month since it’s not a competition right?

That’s because the alphabet soup nominally includes women. Men’s mental health awareness is just about men. However, the sexual attraction/sexuality angle probably gives men non-trivial (at least 55/45) majority representation in the actual event. Even the Bible never mentions the possibility of female homosexuality explicitly.

​@Necroman98 suddenly it's "not all". I remember me too.

@@relishcakes4525 What is the Cult of not all?

The "Slippery Slope" has been proven time and time and time again to the point where someone calling it a "fallacy" feels almost like a red-flag that the person you're talking to *knows* it'll slip further, and that's what they're betting on.

"We just want to ban abortion" "We just want to end same sex marriage" "We just want to ban sodomy" "We just want to ban sex-ed" "We just want to ban contraceptives" "We just want woman to be more "traditional" (no education)" "We just want to abolish woman's suffrage" "Your child willl give birth to her rapist baby you degenerate" "The law will be written according to the bible. Hallelujah!" "The priest will aprove your 12-year old child's marriage with a 50-year old nobleman! NO!? Its a century long christian tradition you heretic!!!" The slippery slope is bullshit, just because development A open the discussion to B and B is bad doesn't mean A is also bad. You can perfectly accept one and reject the other. Otherwise I should be able to dismish any Christian political talking point out of fear that it will slip us to a Christian Theocracy where the priest class performs pedo marriages like they did for centuries. The truth is that the people that believe in the slippery slope didn't like gay marriage to begin with. They're christians that are piss-mad about being beaten by the "amoral sodomites" and now they can't even say the f-word in the family table without their grandkids calling them out. The slippery slope is their attempt at camouflaging themselves among the less piss-mad christians so that they may have their revenge.

And it is going to get worse, they will resort to violence and complete bigotry and hate. An example of that was when one or two LGBTQ people attacked two schools, one of them, also a Christian school, was attacked and 11 kids and a teacher were gunned down by an LGBTQ person who murdered them. ALL of them!

It’s only logically fallacious if the progression being stated is not logically consistent, rational, and actually foreseeable. So, the slippery slope fallacy is real, but there’s times where it doesn’t apply. For example: “if we legalize weed all the children will start using it, then everyone will get hooked on that diacetylmorphine stuff because they started with weed, become homeless nobodies on the street, and then all of society will literally collapse. Would someone please think of the children!” (Yes, I’ve actually heard arguments like that one before…) That is a completely nonsense progression of events; thus, it constitutes a slippery slope fallacy. Where the fallacy doesn’t apply for example: give bad actors an inch, and they’ll take a mile. Of course those with a negative hidden agenda are going to constantly advance their demands to get what really want: more power, control, attention, money, etc. They can’t get what they really want without resistance, so what do they do? Use a strategy based on gradualism.

​@fearlesswee5036 the slippery slope is only a fallacy if its not shown it will actually go to those extremes

I can see pride in overcoming the struggles that come with the disorder, but not in the disorder itself, that doesn't make much sense.

@@SSJKamui Pride stand for Personal Rights in defense in education. Do you think you as neurodivergent have a right to control your own destiny? Or do you think your inferior for some reason and need guidance from neurotypicals? I question the idea that high functioning aut is a disorder, I don't think it is it's just a different order.

@@memph7610 i agree

I see people, and I hate to say this, but almost exclusively women, proudly proclaim every neurodivergency they think they have on social media. They treat them like Pokemon, got to catch 'em all! And being that I know some of these people well, I believe they suffer from nothing more than maybe normal levels of social anxiety. It's attention seeking and looking for validation for no good reason. The screwed up fallout is they take pride in this, and then turn to people who have real issues and tell them to do the same. Fortunately, I'm not autistic, clinically depressed, etc. But if I were, I think I'd find their behavior very insulting.

You should ABSOLUTELY be proud of your attitude about it though rock on

The reason is simple, scientific research figured out 15+ years ago that homosexuality is a learned behavior. Nobody is "born gay". This is fatal to the LGBT religion. The entire movement is based on a lie. Rather than abandoning the religion, they doubled down and blindly assert that choosing to engage in homosexuality is the same as being born black. It's crude and ham fisted.

the Progressive/Imperial pride flag has never been about inclusion by specification. It's been about self-aggrandizement, that oneself is somehow specially standing out in a crowd of supposed equals. "I've been pointed out in particular, therefore I am special!" When things become normalized, those who understand being previously abnormal don't see themselves as special anymore, so they resort to finding new ways of standing out. It's a very infantile call for attention.

@@Tounushi This also ties in, at least in my perspective. to the astronomical rise in transgender-identifying people these days. Its no longer just an incredibly rare medical condition, its not just a fetish, its "how am I supposed to be special anymore if being gay/lesbian/bisexual doesn't cut it anymore? How can I stand out?" so they simply declare themselves trans and go through all these harrowing bodily modifications to be special again. Its a neverending cycle of trying to reach the apotheosis of special, to tbe the one Little Star that twinkles like no other.

@terminator572 Ironically, the more they try, the LESS special they become. And with each attempt to become "special", they get progressively more unhinged and obnoxious, which makes people's distaste for them worse.

I found them obnoxious 20 years ago when I only opposed them for religious reasons. Since then, they’ve vindicated my position more than I could have expected.

Because they have a grudge against their fathers 😢😢

It also wishes to erase Men's mental health month. The left just hates men.

They want to erase mothers, fathers, girls and boys.

😢

Absolutely this

I hope one day your sexuality isn't a point of pride one way or the other

@@emarskineel In general I don't care about it. The problem is when they tell you "everyone is celebrated, except *you."* At this point it starts feeling like done in spite.

@@emarskineel No one should feel pride over sexuality. Hetero and otherwise, it's not a choice. It's not everyone's business. I don't want to teach 5 year old children about it, and I'm sick of seeing it interrupt movies that aren't ABOUT it. Being sex-obsessed is a bad thing, and I would rather we treat non-heteros equally so it can become a mundane part of life, like being irish or left-handed. Being persecuted doesn't make ME owe you, because I never engaged in it, and straight-savior complex is undoing progress.

I saw something like that. a teacher gave colorful stuff if you picked something lgbt. if you picked straight or something not gay you got something plain and boring.

@@emarskineel No. Heterosexuality should be a point of pride. Without us the human race ceases to exist.

Id also say im a common ground

I wish it was only the rainbow Rainbow=everyone

And consumers.

Wish people would not care

Why are you gay?

The progress pride flag is really really ugly. But actually it could include straight people in the way that a trans man or trans woman who's only attracted to the opposite gender is technically straight.

i like to call it the overdesigned flag because it takes a decent simple design and completely misses the point and ruins it. idk what vocal minority of LGBT folks thought that was a good idea but they sure don't know anything about design

@@noxxyy when I first saw it I could not believe my eyes that shit is atrocious

I think the flag should be changed to EBSCW (everyone but straight cis whites) Flag. It certainly is shorter.

@@rottencandy2675 yeah it's about sexuality and gender I have no clue why they added a racial part too it, kinda dumb cuz the original rainbow did just fine.

"...some animals are more equal than others"

I’m a conservative gay femboy, and I approve this message 👍

​@@Echo_Underscore F

​@@AndrewRyan-zv7zb animals farm reference

It’s not stupid, it’s meant to more specifically identify a smaller group of people. Giving the pride flag brown, black, white, light blue, purple and yellow, and pink doesn’t make it worse. It makes it easier to understand for dumb people

When all this stuff vanishes, it'll be because society has moved back to the historical norm of gay oppression. This liberal era we're currently in is the exception, not the rule.

strangely, a lot of young gay men with lots of internalised homophobia will go through a far right phase, that happened to a friend of mine, before he grow up a bit

​@@reececrook7021 Strangely a lot of hyper progressives claim this about anyone who doesn't 100% agree with everything they believe when it comes to sexuality as a whole. Homophobia has lost all real meaning as it's been thrown out so often as an insult. I know plenty of LGBT people sick of pride. Doesn't make them homophobic simply because they don't share your far left wing progressive views.

@@reececrook7021 I’m not far right, nor am I far left. This “internalized homophobia” thing is just a buzzword used to invalidate people who don’t all join the hive mind, similar to calling black people coons or uncle toms when they don’t bow down to the left wing. It’s disgusting and I’m sick of being told that if I don’t suck up to the narrative I must hate myself.

That's not internalized homophobia lol. I think you'd be surprised that most gay men are actually pretty normal and nuanced, not a monolith. They like to keep their sexual life private. I'm still closeted besides a couple friends knowing, because I find the whole pride thing extremely annoying.

Since 7th October I have lost all confidence in Pride. I'm a gay man but when Pride started supporting terrorism it totally lost me.

Pride has more to do with an accomplishment or a sacrifice than a sexual preference.

​@@kenandrews4634 I live in Downtown Palm Springs. Trust me, Pride is about sexual preference. And it is really perverted. Most of the groups gathered are fetishist and drag groups, they're not dedicated to human or LGBT rights. They've already won and they know it so they're just enjoying the hedonistic fruits of their identity.

@@kenandrews4634In theory yes, its supposed to be about those who were persecuted for being gay but stood up for their right to be treated as normal citizens. However now its a narcissistic display of fetishes by people who havent faced any adversity for being gay. In favt they are now being celebrated just for their sexual preference... we were told they just wanted to be treated normal. To be treated like everyone else. That it was just a difference in who they chose as a partner. But now they demanded to be celebrated for flaunting sexual fetishes in the street. (Obviously that doesnt apply to all lgbtq) many are not that way and many are appalled at what “pride” has become.

​@@kenandrews4634 I disagree. You choose to die for your country and for the people you protect. What do you sacrifice by being born or developing a sexuality? Socially ostracisation? Possible abuse? What do you accomplish by being a man attracted to men? Aids?? I understand if they have a bad home life but that's not LGBT exclusive, and what about the ones who are fully supported by everyone around them? What did they accomplish and sacrifice? Nothing.

A few years ago you couldn't go a minute without seeing a pride flag anywhere. This year it was like July 1st or May 31st. If a corporation is supporting you then it's because you're convenient to their bottom line, not because they honestly care.

Hear hear. My feelings exactly.

To be fair they say pride but often means lust exclusively.

I think we can map this out. We already have Pride month set. As for the others.... Sloth month: January, when we all blow off our new year resolutions Lust month: February, the month of Valentine's Day. Greed month: May. Here in the States, that's when people are receiving their tax refunds. Wrath month: July. The heat makes people grumpy. Gluttony month: November, when it's time for Thanksgiving dinner. Envy month: December, when you see that the other kids got better Christmas presents than you.

We have greed all the year alredy

When gays invoke the word "pride", they do not mean the opposite of "humble", which is the pride that you invoke when you draw this poor joke. They mean the opposite of "shame".

@@somedandy7694 40 days before Easter yeah(I am Eastern Orthodox, so it's a little different for me). It's an interesting idea, but I don't see why we can't just get rid of the Pride month, instead of replacing it. We don't need to replace or match, we already have the analogue, so why not use it?

@@nothernstar2576 I'd like to see Pride Month fade away, but until that happens I think opposing it by observing Humility Month is the best course of action. Also...I understand Lent to be religious (specifically Catholic/Orthodox if I'm not mistaken), which gives it a more limited reach than a secular movement toward Humility Month.

How is pride month dividing society? Yes there are some that attempt to use it to divide but you don’t have to be divided if you don’t want to be. Nobody is saying that all straight people should die. If anything it’s straight people saying all gay people should die. This division is created by one side and not the other.

What if the division is for a good reason...

on the contrary, events that unite people should be encouraged. like, idk, "talk about why nuclear power is a really good solution day". "pick up litter day". "share useful life tips with others day". something like that, which is beneficial to everyone

@@noxxyy Beneficial to everyone would also include a free education all the way to Professional status if you can maintain the grades to do so.

@@stickmanbrains It isn't.

For some context, if you have actually been fasting before the feast, during Lent or Advent for example, you are going to want a slap up meal to celebrate. This is very traditional.

As an atheist I celebrate Christmas. I understand the meaning and the "war on Christmas" is nothing more than a made up and fabricated war. Saturnalia was around a thousand years prior. And before that, Yule. And before that....equinox celebrations of one kind or another for anybody paying attention to the seasons. I don't care how hard any religion tries, they will never, ever stamp out the need for people to come together and be kind to one another in the darkest hours of the darkest days and the coldest and harshest of times. That is just what humans do.

I'm from the suburban south, ba k in the 90s it was more of a "don't ask don't tell" we just didn't talk about sexuality, it was ok, but keep it private.

I was in the South in the 90’s and no one cared. I knew 2 gay guys and they were really popular at school. I hate when people who have never even been to the South believe the stereotypes that Hollywood always pushed.

Same in Europe. I mean, of course there were jokes and stuff. But they were harmless, just a bit of fun.

Well if you don't like it there are plenty of countries in Latin America that are quite religious and would be happy to have you. But honestly, we revere the military in movies constantly. Every day. What we don't have is a bunch of conservatives that want to PAY UP and make sure veterans get the care they need. The VA has failed a lot of those veterans. And if people would stop being butthurt over the color of flags for one moment and actually look at how the Republican led congress shot down VA assistance, then you'd know something. Never accuse a conservative of doing homework. That requires them to look up from their big book of hypocricies long enough to have self awareness.

We have a whole month. It's November. Not our fault if they don't wanna celebrate it like LGBTQ people do

@@allister-malister9179 Hell yeah. Poor dogos.

This is a genuinely refreshing and sane comment.

Great comment. This kind of division has been happening around the world and I think a lot of it is being driven by politicians and the media. Most people tend to have a lot of common ground in their views and want the same things for themselves and their families, even if they'll differ in how they think these goals should be achieved. It doesn't serve political parties or media commentators to emphasise this commonality because there's less to report about in the media and politicians would find it harder to differentiate themselves from their opponents who are practically the same in reality. Making everyone as angry and divided as possible makes reporting much easier and generates more clicks, while politicians get less scruitiny of their own beliefs and actions when all they do is attack the opposition.

It's like when they bring up "Star Trek was always progressive!" Yes, but it also used to be well written. When your message is crap, and your story is crap, and the acting is crap, no one is gonna want to consume it.

The difference between now and the 90s is that the majority of people can tolerate gays, as long as they keep their clothes on at their parade and don't touch kids I can tolerate them just like anyone else (if these two things were part of other ideologies I wouldn't tolerate them either). You can't force me to do more than tolerate your ideology, though, I will never like you or be prideful of your left-wing religion

It's not propaganda to occasionally show a gay person living a normal life.

it was subtle but the people were not. If you're american most of the slurs for gays originated in the 90's.

That's part of the problem. "Pride" month is its own form of censorship. If you say anything against the LGBTQ community, or even just say you're fine with being heterosexual, you're labeled as "homophobic". It's repulsive.

It makes me happy to see I'm not the only one who thinks things like these. Sometimes I feel I'm the only non-straight guy in the world that doesn't subscribe to far-left ideologies (for this case, pride month), and it's nice to have a reminder that there's other people with a neuanced view, regardless of which way they lean

Sexuality is not earned. What is there to be proud of?

Consider how boring you'd have to be to make your sexuality or gender identity into your entire personality and lifestyle. These people are incredibly dull individuals who have little or nothing going for them so they latch on these kind of identities as a way to have something to talk about.

I noticed in HS that girls would just say they're bisexual and date exclusively dudes because it got them to not be seen as evil by their peers who have also been brainwashed into thinking they're "LGBT". That was 10 years ago. They don't treat "allies" as equals, so you have to become one of them. How do you do that without messing with your life too much? Just say you're bi and "too scared to date girls cause of my parents" (who vote democrat and do not give a single fuck if you're gay. white people in portland will say things like this, these people lie so much it makes the entire movement suspicious.) Nowadays it's with transgenderism, and you can see the exact phenomenon with non-binaries in HS and college aged women. A non-binary can be above an "ally" because they're trans, and because a non-binary person can literally just say they're however they want to present, most of these girls wind up dressing extremely feminine or not even changing ANYTHING about their presentation and just saying "i'm she/they" or some variation of that and suddenly they're a member of the T in LGBT. Or would they be the Q in LGBTQ? I can't keep track of this crap anymore.

For me it appeared in 2020 which made me think it was a product of the Chinese flu

@@noxxyy That's why I really like how simple but wholesome the Christian belief on human value is. All humans are created in the image of God, therefore, all humans have inherent worth and value. No secular, ephemeral, shallow marker for human worth. It's just, inherent to each individual

@@noxplay4906 fair. now if only all christian folks were actually following that. it's unfortunate how a noticable chunk misses the point and uses it as an excuse to hate... when really, it's supposed to be a reason to coexist happily

Churches are just corporations. They shouldn't be demonetized, but they should definitely be taxed.

I'm 20, I had never heard the acronym lgbt until around 2017.

ignorance is bliss

First I heard of this was LGBT, and that was like 10 years ago probably. Until 10 years ago gay people were just called gay or queer, although queer was considered a slur, and most people seemed to agree that it's ok to be gay. Other than that, growing up I saw a lot of homophobia, but it was diminishing day by day. Now I hear the same homophobia ressurrected by young people, and the same slurs coming back, so it almost seems like the excessive focus on the alphabet club has had a negative effect on society, like we are going backwards now.

Yeah, I'm old enough to remember when gay was about gay people, rather than celebrating the degeneration of society

@@fren111 sure you are frogman

They were actually borrowed from pagan symbology. I think the reason why progressive events are despised because they have no interesting traditions unlike Christmas, Easter and April Fools which is probably my favorite one so far.

ehh.. most of that symbolism, including the Name of the holiday, was coopted from germanic pagan spring celbrations regarding fertility and such. Mind you, it then quickly Became christian symbolism as a result. Similar things happened with a bunch of stuff, mostly with the intent of making conversion easier and reducing backlash.

" He's not an ai" was the best thing about this video, I could not think of anything else

Yeah, it is almost like like-minded people seek each other out. *GASP* Oh your god! Oh noes! But let's throw in islam because you want to change the topic. I could give bugger all less about ANY superstition, at all. If somebody tells me they are a Christian, I say, "big deal." If somebody tells me they are a Muslim, I also say, "big deal." Big deal. I don't need any religion. What I do need is for people to act like decent human beings, show a bit of empathy, and chill the f* out.

​@@HeortirtheWoodwarden Canada's birthday in 1867.

The “pride” Pride Month is about is primarily the negative, hubristic pride born of dominance. This is also the pride that is meant by the sin of pride. It is a sin because one is proud to the point of erroneously feeling that one has a right to demand certain attitudes and behaviors from other people. The main criticized demand is for sexual lesbianism to be treated independently of projections of male heterosexuality.

@@Vyx__LMAO. Imagine getting birthday gifts each day for an entire month 😂.

That's pretty well deserved blame too. They could've just let society progress at a slow rate in a healthy direction that respected all of us but no, narcissists had to make it about themselves and rush things. Now they're going to pay for it and I don't feel bad at all. 😊

@@o00nemesis00o i am. I'm just sick of the ethical discourse being done on Christian's terms. I felt like reminding the fact that sin means nothing to a growing portion of people.

Pride isn't a sin *in itself*, but it's a personality trait that can cause a person to be tempted to sin. In the Bible, "pride" (the most common translation of the Hebrew גָּאוֹן, ga'on) tends to be used in the sense of "arrogance".

​@@sixghill1925Quite the opposite, sin means a lot to secular society, it's just not called sin anymore The current discourse on racism a great example of that

Good god. Do we have to label everything according to somebody's political view now? Progressive holidays? Really? Don't conflate people celebrating something or being recognized and wishing to be recognized as a holliday. The butthurt and crybaby nonsense about this is what is making my stomach turn. Not because somebody is having a "Well my CHURCH didn't allow this and give you permission..." bullshit. Little teensy eentsy whisper: We don't need your permission for anything.

​@@DanielTorresGonalezThat is what the Church says.

Yeah yeah. Everything is a religion blah blah blah blah blah. Some people need to touch grass.

I mean, I do understand how religious people can equate everything with a religion. After all, religions are based on believing in absurdities. Therefore, anything a religious person views as absurd, must therefore also be a religion too.

@@OceanusHelios Philosophically speaking, it is. Everything is a belief. Religions are groups of people with a belief. If you want a human to stop believing you need to get rid of a human mind. Even Atheism is a belief. Even if everyone becomes atheist, it would only be a matter of time before another superstitious belief fills up the vacuum. It doesn't have to be a belief in a deity. Humans are irrational, stop believing there is a Utopian future based on rationality and truth. Those two go against the very principles of the mind and such society would eventually plunge into chaos. I think Anarchism is a great example. Anarchists seek to abolish all laws. No laws means that there are no laws preventing you from creating new laws. The only way an Anarchy could survive is to enforce the "no laws" which would not make it a true Anarchy.

Yes, in a sense. But I don’t celebrate Christmas for 2 months just because the stores start selling decorations and Christmas tress, in fact I hate it. In the US Thanksgiving comes before Christmas and there is no time set apart for that anymore. In my family it’s celebrate it for two days. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I don’t give gifts every day, I don’t prepare a big feast everyday, i don’t go to church every day, I don’t decorate every day. I do prepping and planning yes, buying gifts takes time and thought and meal and dessert making takes planning, and all that time if I put it together is a week at most, but the day itself is still only 1-2 days long.

I see Christmas stuff appearing in store in early October, and Hot Cross Buns in January.

Well, that's convenient. But inside the churches they are defining you as a not good person. And that is the reason for the pride parades.
