So June kicks off pride month and this board is predominately queer so I thought it would be cool to see how yall felt about Pride in general.
Do yall celebrate pride? Why or why not?
Is it important to you or your friends?
Do you see a need for it?
Let's discuss.
:ohwow: :ohwow: :ohwow: :ohwow:
no need 4 it

I think I'll be sitting London Pride this year.
Normally go, but with all the 'err'rism going on...
:udontlookok:
Oh yeah :'(
In the past, did you value going?
Never been to one, but I definitely want to go sometime.
i slap a pride bumper sticker on my ride n call it a day!
Not important to me therefore I dont go to the events. Im not a real celebratory/party person anyway (xmas, thanksgiving, and other traditions people go crazy over are meh to me) so I dont feel theres a NEED.... just people wanting to celebrate something. And then the whore'er stories..

Why you say this Lew?
because it just seems extra

its like freaknik for gays
id rather have lgbt history week than pride
but the same can be said for mardi gras

OM I hadn't even thought about that :uhh:
I've been to the parade a couple times. It's a fun day out but there's no deeper meaning behind for me.

Understandable.
I also think that Pride sometimes is synonymous with all the sexual stories and that deters folks from wanting to check it out or see value in it. At least from folks i've talked to.

This tbh.
Oddly enough, I don't find Pride inclusive of anyone that isn't a white gay (particularly Toronto Pride after last year), so I'm meh tbh.
i dont enjoy it as much as i used to but i do go every year just cause.
I dont think we should have a latin gay pride or a black gay pride. We should all be celebrating together not separate.

Yeah. I still attend because Black pride here is terrible BUT I can't help but wish that the whites were like...gone.

Wouldn't that be erasing the plights that each group faces though? Or do you think they're all one in the same?

even the subgroups have their struggles within the lgbt construct

im not here for a white mess tbh
i want some soul
and im sure they want their latin mess
why does everything have to be whited owt?

i personally think they are one in the same IMO.
If trump were to get impeached and mike pence is pres and he implements the electro shock therapy for gays we would all be screwed.. there is no color in that.
What does each group face that is soooo different that we need to celebrate being gay separately ?

Well,
Racism immediately came to mind. White gays don't deal with that. The other groups do on macro and micro levels. I'd even argue that the other groups have been dealing with xenophobia as of late also. This can often be perpetuated by the same people they'd be marching in pride with.

TRUE white gays dont deal with racism but just because we all go through something different i dont see why we have to do things separately. All it does is divides us when we need to be standing together IMO

Aside from racism that can also occur within the LGBT community, minority gays are impacted by AIDS, poverty, familial and cultural homophobia at rates white people will never experience
Like... "segregated" Prides were a RESPONSE to being marginalized within the LGBT.

No it doesnt divide in the way that you are thinking
its division within the inclusion of solidarity

Wait King :ohwow: :ohwow:
Yeah Nick these are my sentiments exactly.
I went once with a friend, but it was a white one
Never again
DEATH at a white one.. there is no white gay pride lol
I used to love Pride, but lately I'm not really interested in partying beside a bunch of racist hypocritical fags.
I do enjoy Black gay pride tho.
There isn't a white cowboy rodeo either but you know what group of people will be there when you arrive
I live in Florida Nick, and I was in St Pete
A predominantly white racist city
Defend your white faggots somewhere else

I really didn't think so many people hadn't been to pride before.
My first "pride" was last summer and my new group of friends are the first gay group of friends I ever had offline. All we did really was dine, bar hopped and ended the night off with karaoke. You don't have to do all the extracurricular mess. Just enjoy your faggots
I have only attended black pride events. I hear they are better anyway
Love pride events
The energy >>
Yea I think these things can mostly be what you make it or what you choose to participate in, although if you're uncomfortable with some of the stuff you'll SEE, I definitely get that too.
Folks will do anything for attention
I've been to Chicago pride and some pride-like mess in Australia. I do t particularly have a good time. I'd probably like a black one more.

I just cant wrap my head around this im scared to have a layover there

No one is gonna come BUSTING in the airport love. Well, no one from these parts.
I don't partake in any of the parades. None of the shit actually educates young gays on the history of homosexuality or anything interesting.
At least not the known ones I've heard about.
