Fine here too, until they start talking about removing a perfectly healthy penis, Vagina, or breast. It's like sexual mutilation is horrible when Muslims do it in North Africa, but it they do it as a sex change, then it's fine
You should point out that the real place we draw the line is the grooming, the castration and the mutilation of children, which is not only happening in many areas of the country but has also been advocated by several people on CityData, over the past few years.

That doesn't even make sense. You can't be pushed one way, but you can be pushed the other? Incredible (in the literal sense of the word) that any rational person would make such a statement.
Frankly no one is born gay, although some have a tendency towards it. Literally thousands of children are being groomed to believe they are something they are not, in the name of tolerance. Well, tolerance of child rape and mutilation is just not in any good person's nature.
It doesn’t really affect my spending, although if two stores selling the same stuff we’re side by side, but one had additional pride stuff, I’d probably go to the store with the pride stuff.
June 1st as like in the past few years businesses and corporations will cover their logos with rainbows and stuff pride into their messaging to the customer/consumer. Will this effect your spending with the business?
I will avoid Target since they seem to be the worst at it, with pride attire for babies and all that.
I won't shop anywhere that is blatant and in your face about it. Not interested.
But if it's online or something like amazon, who cares?
I don't base purchases on the political or cultural values of the supplier, but on simple value proposition according to my personal profit motive. Thus, the overall value of the product itself dictates where I spend money.
I also don't normally care what people think, say or express. Even if there are rainbow flags everywhere, so what? Don't put that flag in my yard or house, and I couldn't GAFF about it. That goes for any flag delivering any message.
I'm a left-wing Democrat and I'm 100% pro-equality for LGBTQIA+ Americans.
That said, a lot of corporate pride stuff is profit-driven. It doesn't influence my decision to shop or eat somewhere any more than an absence of pride stuff would. It doesn't make any difference to me.
I don't patronize businesses whose values I strongly dislike (Hobby Lobby, Chick Fil A, etc.) but I don't vet every business I patronize either. At some point you have to live your life.

That is only somewhat true. I know plenty of kids who went through a "gay phase" during their adolescent years because they saw it as cool and trendy. I find that rather sad, to see kids announcing they are gay because they think it will make them more special and popular. And that, I am quite certain, wouldn't be happening if "gay pride" wasn't being pushed so hard everywhere.
Love who you love. Have sex with whomever you wish. I don't see where it should be a point of "pride" or anything that needs shouted from the rooftops.
For those reasons, I avoid stores/brands that are over-the-top with "gay pride." I just think it's stupid and unnecessary. I'd feel the same way if any small segment of society were glorified 24/7 for some trait, be it left handedness, red hair, vegans, or a rare blood type. Who frickin' cares??? Seriously, why do I need to know this?
That doesn't bother me. What people do in the privacy of their bedroom is not my concern. If the business wants to encourage that market segment to shop there, that's their choice of marketing.
Now if they promote perversion like Target, that is something else entirely.
It's not mine either but it's being shoved in our faces now. When will there be BDSM displays in these same stores? What about swingers? I mean, this used to be something you did in the privacy of your own home and I recall people asking that if you allow gay marriage (which I could care less about) what will be next and now we know. Next is apparently indoctrinating children to the lifestyle. Making it seem cool and hip to be gay or bisexual or transsexual. So no, I will shop in these stores.
The Religious Right Wing Control Brigade is out in full force now. Be careful not to wear any multicolored clothes in public, might get wacked by some nut case.
