I used to support pride. No longer.

The gay rights movement came to prominence due to a simple agreement: You may not agree with what we do in private, but it's private. Private behavior for adults should have a lot of flexibility.

In the last 10 years in particular, this bargain has been broken. Now gay behavior is out in public. Gay proponents of drag demand the ability to have access to children, despite the fact that many gays are on the sex offender list. Men who are trans demand the access to female spaces. It's all out in public, and crammed into our faces. I am not happy seeing a bunch of screaming gay guys fonding each other in public and simulating sexual acts during pride.

It's pushed by the trans and queer agendas. With trans, you must accomodate these deluded and deranged people, annd are not allowed to laugh loudly at them, despite the completely ridiculous presentations and obvious confusion. If you "misgender", you are brought up on charges to HR, and sometimes fired.

If gay folks do not want the backlash THAT IS UNDERWAY, the overt public sexually explicit stuff needs to end. No more drag story hour. No more sex acts in public. Do what you want in private - in public you scare the horses and offend normal people.

There are different issues at play here, and based on a quick look you seem to conflate them. I agree people shouldn't do anything sexually explicit in public, but that applies regardless of sexual preference, sexual identification, etc. I hope you agree with that. However, if you have a different standard for what gay people, trans, etc. should do in public vs. others, then that would be, and I'll put it gently, unreasonable.

The gay queer ethos of the moment appears to be "embarrassment of the bourgeoisie" with overt and flagrant PDAs. Now, you see this a little in very immature couples. Not much otherwise in normal hetero couples. But the gay ethos is "stick it in the eye" of the normies. Enough. Get a fucking room.

I don't disagree. Which is why I encourage young people to understand the history and culture they purport to represent and to choose more dignified expressions.

And that is the tradition bargain - private behavior is private. Most people are comfortable with that. I certainly am. Most of my gay friends follow that, as do my straight friends. None of the straight people I know spend time discussing sexual issues, or doing PDAs. Part of it is the difference between long-married people (who do whatever in private) and those still on the market.

A quick look might not give you the point I was making… hope you read deeper. I was not advocating for sexual explicit behavior in public.

You should re-read my reply.

Wtf is this garbage?

“Gay proponents of drag demand the ability to have access to children, despite the fact that many gays are on the sex offender list.”

Heterosexual proponents of Jesus demand the ability to have access to children, despite the fact that many heterosexuals are on the sex offender list.

Your moral logic is fuking stupid. Certainly nothing to be Proud of.
