I’M A GAY MAN. HERE’S WHY I DON’T CELEBRATE PRI MONTH
As a gay man a 9 year long relatnship lookg at all those out celebratg PRIDE preachg diversy and jt boils my blood. * im gay and i dont like pride *
And the reason ’s a whole month is bee we are at the fiftieth anniversary of the New York Stonewall Rts of 1969, when gays, lbians, drag queens and others fought back agast ps who kept bargg to gay bars and harassg the clientele. It gave rise to stggl for gay liberatn and equaly. The gas ma by gay-rights warrrs over the past five s have been amazg and important.
Gay people should be as ee and equal as straight people.
Now gay-rights activists don’t mand tonomy — they want validatn. It’s no longer enough to leave homosexuals alone to live however they choose and to flict on them no persecutn or discrimatn or any ill-will whatsoever on the basis of their sexualy, which is absolutely the right thg for a civilised liberal society to do. Today isn’t homosexuals who are persecuted; ’s their crics, whether ’s Ann Widbe or Tim Farron, wh their well-known aversn to gay rompg, or those Mlim parents Birmgham who don’t thk six-year-old Muhammad needs to know that some men sleep wh men.

“I DON’T LIKE GOG TO GAY PRI”: EXPERIENC OF NEGOTIATG LGBTQIA MORMON INTY UTAH
The very ncept of “gay” rights and activism to force a sexual revolutn is the basis of today’s liberalism. Gays did not beg by askg for marriage or to be viewed as everyday cizens; the movement grew om social rejectn and tentnal unter-culture behavrs and worldviews. Beg gay was more than jt same-sex attractn, was a liftyle of rebelln and creativy.
Like most gays my age, I have a set of mon social experienc, but I am told I am not entled to enjoy or appreciate them. I grew up wh a generatn of gay movi, magaz, onle chat rooms, micians and, of urse, drag queens.
