I’M A GAY MAN. HERE’S WHY I DON’T CELEBRATE PRI MONTH

I'm tired of pri month but do that make me homophobic. The difference between what means to be a gay person on the Right and a gay person on the Left is beg far more profound than mere polil disagreement.

Although there is much discsn about the legimacy of gay nservativ, we often don’t articulate why we reject our socially assigned muny, or how difficult that separatn n sometim be. 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.

WHY ARE PEOPLE GAY? GAY BY CHOICE OR IS BEG GAY GEIC?

I grew up wh a generatn of gay movi, magaz, onle chat rooms, micians and, of urse, drag queens.

But by rejectg what LGBT is today, I am expected to forfe all cultural experienc lkg me to the gay muny. Much of how society views me is stctured around media imag of gay men, ually origatg om “Will and Grace, ” “Ellen, ” and RuPl.

Gays Aren’t Fun Any More.

A PECULIAR DISAPPROVAL OF GAY PRI

Gays aren’t fun any longer. While growg up, I watched the gay world through movi, the Inter, and magaz and imaged an environment of lghter, mic, and genue acceptance.

There is simply nothg for me to march for or agast as a gay man.

I Don’t Need the Gay Movement to Be Free. It promised a world of acceptance and normalcy where my dreams as a person supersed my limatns as a gay man. I no longer need the gay muny.

There are gay people who have embraced equaly and tegrated to daily life exactly as they are, whout fear or hatn, and gay people who still believe they mt surround themselv wh a rabow flag.

In the et time of our history this untry, when a Republin print is un-self-nscly gay-iendly and nservativ open their arms to like-md gay cizens, the gay Left remas unr an umbrella of self-perpetuatg fear and doom. What means to be gay has changed dramatilly. Durg the month of June I do not raise the rabow flag or celebrate “pri” wh my fellow gays.

Pri month no longer holds power or weight my world precisely bee beg gay is not the fundamental attribute that f me. As the LGBT movement ntu to move to the Left and s opprsive characteristics grow proportn, many people happy their liv as gay dividuals will beg to unrstand what I and other gay nservativ have realized for a long time.

Gays who move outsi of the limg polil boundari of the LGBT movement have to regnize that our personal sense of inty wh the culture is ours alone, but will always be fluenced by polics.
