I'm trying to ignore it. It is unnecessary to be shoved down people's throats.

My hair dresser is a black gay cross dresser. He also does fashion shows and drag queen shows and the really funny thing, he hates pride month with a passion. When someone comes into his salon with a pride shirt, he will tell it right to their face "get that sh*$*%*%t out of here now!". He says it best, you can't claim to want equity and equal rights then want special treatment and an entire month dedicated to your group. It doesn't work that way.

It's not even about understanding and agreeing with others.

It's about freedoms and freedom of choice. Ever heard of those before?
When it's being SHOVED down my throat everywhere I'll say what I'm saying. Don't care what you think. WHY do you need to CELEBRATE AND ANNOUNCE what your sexual preference is to THE WORLD??? WHY can't I not agree with that?? It's UNECESSARY and because I don't agree with this crap, I'm homophobic?? Give me a break.

I don't give my business to any business that shoves anything down my throat. That includes all pushy marketing, not just the pride kind.

I will spit it back out and leave.

I'm not interested in your sex life and frankly I don't care. But when you broadcast your sex life in public, you should expect it to be scrutinized and even criticized by the public.

Just received the daily email from Walmart, only this time the promotion was for alphabet products.
I took the opportunity, upon unsubscribing; to express my annoyance with their pride stuff; and crossed them off my shopping list.

How in the hell does anyone “groom” a kid to be gay? That is another of these stupid right wing buzzwords, along with woke and CRT, that are completely made up.

You think if a little boy sees a transvestite at a drag show he’s gonna suddenly decide “I want to be a woman”.? You think if a girl sees two women holding hands she’s gonna suddenly become a lesbian? A teacher teaching kids that some people are LGBTQ is not going to affect her students sexuality. The ignorance is stunning!

This is exactly how I feel and I have close friends who are gay and love them dearly but the minute you disagree with the LBGTQ community you are automatically considered homophobic and disliked. Even my gays friends are sick of this nonesense.

What really steams me is all these clothes with NFL team logos being sold at Target. Why must they shove that football crap down our throats? I mean, go ahead and be a football fan, fine, but why do you need to Celebrate and Announce what your favorite team is? That sheet should be kept private, and not thrown in our face constantly.
