‘Screw whomever you like but don’t pretend it elevates you to some higher plane of being. In fact, you’ve just amped up your chances to suffer loneliness, broken relationships, domestic abuse, substance abuse and depression. So rotsa ruck.’
This is what I don’t get, what’s to be proud of?
I think it’s reasonable to conclude that ‘pride’ was a school-of-fish style ruse to appear larger and more formidable in daring anyone and everyone to criticize them.
Pride is usually a finite emotion ie one can be proud of a child, a team, a school, etc. but that does not create or imply any obligation on the part of observers to join in. Not so with this lot - it’s an odd North Korean Funeral type scenario in which the most over-the-top display of emotion wins some sort of prize.
In the stifling corporate world where any male standing by the water cooler discussing last night’s date or assignation with a female might see him lose his job by 5 PM, we see those same corporations putting normal business activities on hold to ‘celebrate’ the homosexual version of same. This isn’t just a double standard...it’s mass psychosis funded by piles of stockholder cash.
