I don't understand why the 4th of July or any other independence needs to be celebrated. We can celebrate the USA for all the things they have done, but why do we need to celebrate it existing? There are countless numbers of things we can celebrate about a country but why do we need to celebrate a country for existing? There can be pride in what someone does but why do we need to celebrate someone's nationality?
I said the exact same thing as you, just replaced pride month with independence days. Listen, when a group of people struggle a lot in history, be it poverty and/or lack of rights for independence days, or discrimination for the LGBTQ community, when you overcome your struggles you would want to be celebrated, right?

The audacity to compare the independence of a nation to LGBTQ struggles. Celebrate whatever you want with like-minded individuals in your safe space, no need to shove sexuality down everyone's throat (no pun intended) randomly when no one's even talking about it.

The audacity to assume that I just randomly started talking about it. Remind you, if anyone should be the one who brought it up, it should be Laforeia for the classic "Trans Rights is Human Rights" statement. And have you ever heard of, "ANALOGIES"? If you truly dont want us to "shove it down your throat", DONT OPEN YOUR MOUTH. If you dont care about our community, we CAN respect it. But using words like "audacity", or "randomly" when clearly the people talking about it just want to talk about it in a safe-space? The only reason why I tried to compare the two is because some people dont know the difference between pride and overcoming of struggles. The RMB is several peoples safespace, and people like you who practically lie by saying we are the ones who force this against everyone else, is breaking the safe space, their 2nd home where they truly feel loved, making them seem like they are in the wrong. And before you mention me using the word "audacity" as well, being hypocritical, you should know I was just trying to match how you worded it. Also, I wasnt even talking to you. I was quoting someone to speak to THEM directly.
