June is Pride Month! Please, curb your enthusiasm. While homophobia is generally a dumb idea, we at Un-intelligencer don’t feel you need an entire month to remember that gay police riot (we only take a single day to remember the birth of Christ.) It’s just another activist creation, a phony holiday to advance an agenda (see, Juneteenth, another fake holiday.)
Except for the police riot, why do we need an entire Pride month? What are we even celebrating….the fact that some men like to have sex with other men, and women with other women? I don’t see exactly how celebrating that fact does me any good at all. Celebrating the act of sex is like celebrating the act of eating, and even THAT has only one day devoted to it (Thanksgiving!)
If and when sex is natural and normal, it is a fact of life and doesn’t need special celebration. If it’s not natural and normal, that would be because some people find it sinful/immoral, and on that basis alone it doesn’t need to be celebrated. Recognizing these things has nothing to do with hatred, as the media often tries to imply. If you want to be recognized for your choices, good for you, unless you want to FORCE me to recognize you for your choices, which is dumb.
I thought that gay liberation was about people having the privacy to do whatever they wanted in private. Okay, that’s long since been granted. Now you want me to be forced to celebrate what you do in private, for an entire month?
