You told us to shut up twice in your last paragraph... very tolerant/"inclusive" of you. Do you think all White, straight, Christian males should be silenced? Or are we included as well when you say "it takes all of us"? Do you want to hear our thoughts, opinions and concerns too?
They do, and that's why the Democrats continue to lose the White Male vote. They also lose the White vote as a whole.
i'm still trying to figure out why we have to celebrate people being gay??

52 years, 2 days ago the nypd raided the stonewall inn in greenwich village. The nypd raided the few gay bars in nyc every month - each bar averaged one raid a month. The public morals patrol screwed up the raid and tried to arrest everyone. They beat a woman who said her cuffs were too tight, threw her in a patrol wagon, and a riot started.
51 years, 2 days ago the first pride parade happened in greenwich village.
Most conservatives still insist homosexuality is a choice that can be cured with a little prayer and conversion therapy, despite the fact that there's no evidence that this has ever occurred. Even those who have claimed to be cured of homosexuality at some point eventually recanted. Conversion therapy teaches gay men to suppress their same-sex desires, many times to the detriment of their mental health, but does not cure them.
Conversion therapy was just recently banned in Canada because it was harmful.
We don't need any type of sexual pride, and most people really don't care about what sexuality you are, however flying rainbow flags everywhere and daft marches are just childish nonsense.
"most" isnt 90/10 its more like 55/45, and thats not a big enough margin to argue that pride doesnt matter.
Because pride marches and drag queens marching up and down the street coupled with rainbow flags is the best way to win over those who don't believe in homosexuality or have deep seated religious views.
If anything it's just going to do the opposite and have the opposite effect.
