LGBT++++ Pride: Good, Bad, and Ugly

Here we examine the gay/lesbian/bi/etc "pride" culture in depth. While some express completely pro or anti sentiments, the issue is actually nuanced (as are most issues). Intellectual laziness prefers taking "one side" or "the other," but the price of this foolishness can be great, especially for future generations.

Pride is not a virtue, that's for sure. Pride comes before a fall, as it is said. Pride gets us into trouble. It also is warranted at times, in moderation of course, as a good thing to take in oneself or one's achievements or one's work. There is a healthy level of pride, which is self-esteem. So, like LGBT blah blah etc etc pride month or pride events, or pride in general, is it not a for or against, good or bad thing.

Let's go deeper, and let's go back in time. Ancient history is full of examples of sexual expression and relationships that extend far beyond a man and woman mated pair for the purposes of reproduction. Sex is pleasureful and can be healthy and provide health benefits. Like anything pleasureful, sex can be abused with overuse, dangerous use, etc. It must be moderated as well as enjoyed. It must be kept in its proper place place of balance and priority. There are other needs far more vital, basic, and worthy of attention. That doesn't mean we shouldn't enjoy it sex; it just means we must be mindful with it.

History and modern times are also filled with examples of violence against those who wish to have sex with partners of the same sex. In western countries the violence is so low it is not even worth mentioning. There is probably statistically more violence against people with dwarfism than members of the LGBT community. Yet it is in western countries that the "movement" for "equality" and "rights" is the loudest. Of course - here one will be accoladed and admired publicly for "fighting" for "justice," and there is no risk to doing so. All reward and no risk (except for our civilization, perhaps) makes for fun play.

In the middle east, in many African and likely some Asian countries as well, people who practice same-sex intercourse can be subjected to death by stoning, burning, being dropped from a building, and other terrible forms of murder. The virtue-signally corporations don't put up the rainbow colors in their ads in these locales. Like the self-described "fighters" here in the West, these corporations are just playing a game and trying to personally profit from the suffering of others.

Violence is a terrible way to disagree with someone who is not physically hurting someone else. Artificial compensation through obsessed and obnoxious over-representation in the West is not the way to end violence in the East. Those in the East  need to do that for themselves. Pro tip: armed gays, lesbians, etc are much more difficult to throw off of buildings.

As far as being proud goes - one needn't a lot of pride in the West for one's sexual preference. That's like being proud and marching because you are tall. Tall people are not being attacked, and neither are LGBT people. Someone disagreeing with you is not an attack - it is their expression of their opinion - their truth. STFU and deal with it. Likewise, having access to "free" healthcare is not a right - rights don't require other people to work for them. Most Americans, I believe, would say congrats on being whatever - just stop rubbing it in everyone's faces all the time. No one cares - get a life.

The LGBT flag has so many colors, none of which have any meaning whatsoever to nearly 99+% of the population, it is meaningless. Rainbows used to be beautiful colors for kids to enjoy, but now they're being used to target kids with ideas and thoughts about sex. Kids need to be taught about sex by their parents and trusted adults - not strangers. If they are going to like someone of the same sex, they don't need to be taught that either. That will happen on its own.

The new LGBTxxxxxxxx+++++ flag:

This one conveniently includes every shade of every color to represent everything and everyone simultaneously. Well, everyone except heterosexual people.

In conclusion, LGBT pride in the west is bullshit. You aren't fighting for anyone or doing anyone a favor. In fact you are hurting society. You are sexualizing children - which is a terrible crime - and only serving to confuse more people more of the time. People are being injured by the trans surgery/drug/affirmation abomination of "care," and it's because this is a social contagion perpetuated by the sick and twisted and the ignorant.

Once again, no one is being violent attacked in the west because they like the same sex or they want to dress like the opposite sex. No one is being physically hurt. There is no right to not be emotionally hurt by strangers - strangers have freedom of speech including mean speech. Hopefully we can talk things out and reduce mean speech, but it's not a criminal offense. It is a learning that we must get through - all of us - together.

If you want to help LGBT people in other countries - you can do so by focusing your efforts IN THOSE COUNTRIES. You will need to listen to the concerns in those countries, and find ways to address them while still exercising your freedom. It will be risky, unlike here. The west is more than saturated with rainbow crap - to the point that it's sick. Leave the kids alone, stop pushing the agenda, and stop pretending to be victims. Everyone knows you are not.

If your sexuality is your identity, you need to expand your horizons. Find meaningful work, care for other people, realize you are not a victim, become thankful for everything you have, be thankful you are not getting thrown off a building or burned inside tires as you would other places, and put your energy and focus onto the countless other more important things in life. Or if LGBT is so important to you and you want to help protect people - do it where people actually need protecting. It isn't here. Here you're just pissing people off and making yourself look silly.

P.S. - maybe a pride day wouldn't be so bad, but an entire month is extremely overboard. Every single LGBT person is here because of heterosexual intercourse or artificial insemination of male semen into female egg. Period. Our individual very existence required that. We celebrate mothers and fathers only 1 day a year each. They don't get a month. Pregnancy and birth is a miracle, and the continuation of the human species is desirable. Let's celebrate that more. Let's be thankful for what we have in the west - tolerance of LGBT - and not be ungrateful and self-centered. Let's help those in other countries who need it - and use our vital time and energy for a worthy cause by focusing efforts there. That's something one could be proud of.
