I am not sex or gender diverse, but of course I don't "question why veterans, mothers, and fathers (whose impact and contributions to society are far-reaching and selfless) warrant only a day of celebration, while those who publicly affirm their sexual orientation or gender identity are gifted with an entire month?" Veterans, mothers and fathers have ALWAYS been celebrated. Just look at the author blurbs in high school literature textbooks. They will mention an opposite-dender spouse and often children and even mofe often veteran status. They are, however, deceptively silent on male authors who loved men, female authors who loved women, or authors who did not confrom to "gender norms" in other ways. This is beginning to changea tiny, tiny bit, but by no means is the change universal. Sexual minority people aren't "giften" Pride Month; they have earned it through centuried or erasure.
"Last year, Pride was marked by “unprecedented backlash.... Pride flags at a business that has supported Pride Month for years and never had 'an incident like this' happen before....For the first time in a decade, non-LGBT Americans told pollsters that they’re “less comfortable with their LGBT neighbors.” Hmmmm.... where else have we seen a similar phenomenon? Ah,, yes--in the last days of the Weimar Republic. And we all know where that led.
Finally, your term "victim basket" is inaccurate. "Erasure" basket might be more appropriate.
