How's Everyone's Pride?!

Wish you the best recovery and hope everything went well and you are fine otherwise <3

Thanks it’s just the recovery part that’s miserable, lots of numbness and no solids. Turns out it is very disorientating to not feel half of your face at all. But yeah I’m just sad I can’t eat anything good. (I’ve had so many milkshakes I’m going to go insane).

My Pride's been okay. Found out my city isn't having a parade or anything this month so that's kind of a letdown, but my birthday just passed so at least I had something I could celebrate!
As far as in-game stuff goes, I tried to let a Dwight live who also had a pride charm but he kept pointing to the hook until I killed him....hope he's having a good day.

stick pizza in a juicer and watch as a mistake is born

Well pretty good considering David took me out to dinner last night 🤭
6 -
Wait... He took me out the day before.
Bestie I think we have an issue
5 -
And here I was worried people could potentially get bullied for having the charm. At least its having a positive effect in the entity's world. Don't know about the real world though. I still think plague should have rainbow barf during this month. I think everyone would get a good laugh out of that. :D

I don’t feel one way or the other about it, but I do think about Pride Month a lot.
I’m in my twenties and still haven’t came out to my family as bisexual.
My grandma literally cries every time my brother and my cousin makes a joke about me being a lesbian. And every time, I lie to her and tell her that I’m heterosexual.
I don’t plan to tell anyone in my family the truth, especially knowing that they’ll be against me. I’m not strong enough for that, yet. But for the most part, I am happy with my life right now. And I hope everyone within the LGBTQ+ community are or will be happy with themselves.

I'm sorry you don't feel comfortable enough to come out to people irl 💜
At least that's what the internet is for, though, right? Keep being you because from this one post you sound epic
(also for no reason here's a picture of a horse stealing a banana)
7 -
It’s adorable 😄
And yeah, I’m very grateful for people like you, who go out of their way to make it a safe-space for others to just be themselves. Thank you for your kind words 🤗

Dammit, Karu, you're doing it again!
The DbD community doesn't deserve to smile!
Stop being such a beautiful person!
I'm telling Cote!
8 -
Haha I wish for that so much, unfortunately I've already lost 10 pounds and kinda want to continue that trend so as much as I hate it I'm stuck with healthy liquids for a while. and to not derail the thread happy pride
3 -
Pretty good, actually. A random series of coincidences, mostly good ones, led to me starting on hormones on precisely June 1st, which made me absolutely lose my ######### when I realised like 2 days later.
7 -
Aight that's it you're getting a horse too
6 -
🤷 I can share 🥳
4 -
Nooooooooo
2 -
I'm sorry your family is like that, I know what its like to have to deal with that BS and it's not a good environment. But, well, the internet is a (sort of?) wonderful place to be yourself, and I'm so happy for you that you feel comfortable enough to share this! <3
5 -
It can get rough at times, but it’s always great that there’s people who can help us whenever we’re just going through it at times.
And thank you so much 😊
3 -
No flag-DS please. That would be terrible. 😂

I don't get it?

Ok I guess...I want to tell my family that I'm pansexual but I worry how they'd react, and that if they react badly that I'll have to deal with them due to me being too young to live alone... on the positive side I'm into someone but I dont think they like me back and I'm too nervous to ask anyways.
Glad to see others are having a good month though ^^
3 -
Do what you think is best, none of us can really help beyond whatever support random forum strangers can supply. I didn't come out as bi til I was almost 20, then trans three years later. And, as much as it hurts to have come out that late (especially the trans part), it wasn't the end of the world.
Maybe there's someone in your family you can talk to, or a friend? Someone that can give you a second opinion without outing you?
3 -
I've told a friend who is extremely close to me and my father both a while back (I don't live with my dad but rather my mother and step father). I'm not sure about the friend...but my dad thinks that I should keep quiet for now just incase everything goes bad.
Also I hope you're happy after what you went through, I cant imagine it being great but atleast you're through it now ^^
4 -
I think February is Lust and December is Greed.
4 -
Its good you have people to confide in! I don't know what its like for you, but I hope you come to a decision you won't regret, or at least to the decision you will regret the least. Either way you'll be taking a chance, but know that it's something that most LGBT+ people have to deal with one way or another. I delayed, and it wasn't so bad, but my reasons were admittedly rather different.
3 -
It just like every other day to me but to other it might be something special and I hope people are having a great time and feeling comfortable about themselves.

`I'm proud to be straight
6 -
My pride is doing great. I'm proud to be straight and that's awesome.
And if anyone's pride is doing great because they're proud to be gay, that's awesome for them too.

Yikes
10 -
See above yikes
8 -
I'm not attacking anyone despite what anyone thinks.
I added the second line to make 100% clear that I wasn't and won't.
If it's something that's much of a hot button issue Topics like this shouldn't be allowed period. no matter who makes them. I have my own opinions on pride month and they're not what you think but this is not the place for them.
2 -
Still an incredibly large yikes
Shame you can't see how coming into a thread about LGBT+ pride talking about how you're proud to be straight is really ignorant. Maybe educate yourself on why it isn't such a great idea, especially considering the context behind "straight pride" and it's existence as a counter for "gay pride".
6 -
I added the second line to make 100% clear that I wasn't and won't.
Then maybe don't come into a thread about LGBT+ pride with the sole purpose of saying you're proud to be straight, especially considering the context behind "straight pride" as a counter to "gay pride". Didn't exist beforehand and it's only ever used to silence LGBT+ people.
If it's something that's much of a hot button issue Topics like this shouldn't be allowed period. no matter who makes them. I have my own opinions on pride month and they're not what you think but this is not the place for them.
Why not? Because you don't see a need for them, or don't see why it's useful, or what? Because from the point of view of an LGBT+ person, as well as a lot of people in this thread, they should be allowed.
And, uh, forum rules nerd here. Nothing prevents these topics being made.
5 -
Oh my God.
Okay, so, do me a favour. Name me:
- A country where being straight is illegal
- A country where murder cases against straight people is substantially higher than those against LGBT+ people
- A country where conversion therapy- the practice of using physical or spiritual methods to change someone's gender identity or sexuality- against straight people is legal
- A country where slurs against straight people exist
Oh wait, you can't.
Straight people don't need a pride month. Straight pride didn't exist before gay pride, and it exists as a counter to gay pride. Nothing more.
There's nothing wrong with being proud of your identity. Coming into an LGBT+ space to flaunt how straight you are, low-key (boarderline high-key) homophobic.
Try to educate yourself and be a better person in future, please.
10 -
Okay it's great for those who are straight but when you word things like this...
You're contradicting the people who celebrate Pride month. It's nice you're comfortable with yourself and being straight. If anything you can be proud about it. But to state you're proud to be straight on a post related to Pride is offensive and not needed. Its no different when people say all lives matter to a Back lives matter discussion. It's all about context and what's relative. Yes technically all lives matter but when someone is talking about a specific topic that is about oppression towards a specific group... you don't need to state the obvious... Again nothing wrong with being straight or being comfortable in a different skin... But when a topic is revolved around a specific oppressed discussion it is unnecessary and pointless to state such words. People who are celebrating pride month don't care that you're straight no offense. The world has oppressed the LGBTQIA community for centuries. Straight people don't need their own month because there is no reason to bring awareness to a type of life style that has been the norm for centuries and isn't oppressed. The people celebrating pride just want equality just like you do. So leave your immature and childish comments out of this discussion cause you'll get lots of heat for it.
Trust me I used to say similar things before I realized that I had white and privilege's and refused to acknowledge my sexuality. I grew up in a very Christian closed minded environment and had to suppress my thoughts towards men because my family and friends would tell me that I am a sinner and I shouldn't be this way and I am a sick person etc. etc. Now I am open about who I am and couldn't feel better.
And if Pride is something that makes you uncomfortable or even people celebrating equality you might want to check yourself and see if you have any insecurities or are uncomfortable in your own skin and sexuality. Cause trust us we want you to be comfortable too.
Thanks :)

I mean if you think about it we have a straight pride month for 11 months. Cmon, let the LGBT community have their own month.
10 -
I'm not saying that, It should allowed, however If someone can't make a topic about being straight(which is unnecessary to be clear) without coming across as someone who is a bigot and uninformed and would clearly get into a lot of trouble for doing so, but someone making a topic about being gay or LGTBQ is okay because of what it is?
I can be proud of who I am just like someone who's gay be proud of who they are, I respect that.
You're putting words into my mouth and I really don't appreciate it.
The topic title is how is EVERYONES pride. do I not fit into everyone?
8 -
I actually don't think you meant to be offensive here. I get where you're coming from but understand context to this discussion. I didn't make this discussion to debate weather or not being straight is or isn't something to be proud of.... I made it for a comfortable place to ask about people's Pride specifically revolved around the month celebrating pride.
7 -
@Beelzeboop Absolutely love that!
3 -
You know very well this is about LGBT pride, or you wouldn't come here with "straight pride" to try to disrupt the thread. Furthermore, it's been explained why "straight pride" isn't a real thing, except to try to detract from LGBT pride.

Okay so now do us all- yourself mostly- a favour. In a vaccum your argument is sound, however we do not live in a vaccum so it doesn't really work. Put it into the context of centuries of historical oppression (homosexuality was legalised in the 1960s in the uk btw), of being able to be killed for being LGBT+. Put it into the context of our reality.
You're straight. You've said so yourself. So do yourself a favour, and stop speaking over the voices of LGBT+ people when they tell you something is wrong. Because they've been through this #########, and have to go through it every day. So stop speaking over us, especially on pride month. Listen and educate yourself instead of sticking to the viewpoint you think is right, despite having been through none of the ######### we have. Okay? Okay.
You're putting words into my mouth and I really don't appreciate it.
I really don't appreciate you speaking over LGBT+ people on LGBT+ issues, thinking your view is correct despite not being LGBT+ and not going through LGBT+ struggles but here we are. One of us did the thing the other person accused of us, one of us has not.
It shouldn't take Einstein to figure it out.
Again, educate yourself, listen to LGBT+ people, and if you want to be an ally then do a better job at listening to LGBT+ people.
The topic title is how is EVERYONES pride. do I not fit into everyone?
Actually it's about pride month- for allies and LGBT+ people. So, again, if you're an ally listen to us on our problems when we say something isn't okay, and if you're not then change yourself.

Calm down, son.
This isn´t a war of LGBT against straight people. Everyone should feel integrated. No one should feel excluded.
8 -
Hey can you, like, stop calling me son by now it's getting weird.
This isn´t a war of LGBT against straight people. Everyone should feel integrated. No one should feel excluded.
Again amazing argument in a vaccum. Stick it in the context of real life and it falls apart faster than swiss cheese vs a machine gun.
6 -
So let me get this right. In your mind because I'm not gay; I don't understand what it's like to singled out, discriminated against, excluded from things because I'm not the exact same as everyone else even though I look the same and people are too stupid to be informed?
BULL ######### #########. I've been through hell my entire life because of ignorance and discrimination. I had a childhood that has completely messed with my perception of myself to this day because of it. Just because It wasn't over me being gay doesn't make it any less damaging.
If the topic was titled how is everyone's pride MONTH my response would have been this.
"It's okay, the month isn't really for me but to anyone it is for I hope it's going great."
But it wasn't. That's why I said what I said because I should be allowed to be proud of my sexuality too without taking away from people who are gay and are proud to be it.
If I were gay it would be easier, I'm not but I still went through as much of a different hell growing up. One that doesn't get recognized, have it's own month, or a flag. But still happened because I was different. Again that's awesome for anyone who's gay, it doesn't apply to me though.
Two mistakes were made hear. the first and most important is that I read a topic title that meant something completely different then what it was intended, I said something that to me wasn't a big deal because I've never felt anyone who was gay as being less then myself. Second you read what I said and were instantly blinded by fear and the feeling of being attacked when you weren't being attacked at all. I was saying I was proud of who I am just like you are proud of who you are. Not saying I was superior to you.
I know all to well about a lot of the things you're going though even if they're not the exact same. I was still labeled and treated differently, unfairly and as an outcast because of it by ignorant and uninformed people.
The same thing you're accusing me of now.
Hello shoe, welcome to the other foot.

If you didn't know this was specifically about LGBT Pride (even though it's mentioned in the OP), why did you mention "straight pride" and only "straight pride"? Why not the things you were discriminated for?

Now who's the one putting words in the other's mouth? Notice how I specifically mentioned "LGBT+ issues" every single time? Discrimination and exclusion isn't the only issue LGBT+ people face bestie.
BULL [BAD WORD] [BAD WORD]. I've been through hell my entire life because of ignorance and discrimination. I had a childhood that has completely messed with my perception of myself to this day because of it. Just because It wasn't over me being gay doesn't make it any less damaging.
Join the club, you failed to see my point so this comment is literally irrelevant by now.
If the topic was titled how is everyone's pride MONTH my response would have been this.
But it wasn't. That's why I said what I said because I should be allowed to be proud of my sexuality too without taking away from people who are gay and are proud to be it.
First sentence. First ######### sentence of the post.
If I were gay it would be easier, I'm not but I still went through as much of a different hell growing up. One that doesn't get recognized, have it's own month, or a flag. But still happened because I was different. Again that's awesome for anyone who's gay, it doesn't apply to me though.
Sure
Second you read what I said and were instantly blinded by fear and the feeling of being attacked when you weren't being attacked at all. I was saying I was proud of who I am just like you are proud of who you are. Not saying I was superior to you.
Bestie please how many times do I have to repeat that if an LGBT+ person says that saying something is wrong you listen and don't say it. It's like a black person telling a white person saying something is wrong, and the white person continuing to say it. Or any minority telling the majority to not say something.
I know all to well about a lot of the things you're going though even if they're not the exact same.
So you know the feeling of having to come out to friends and family? You know the feeling of going through conversion therapy instead of being able to get actual help? You know the feeling of having a significantly higher hate crime rate than other people? Because I know all three of those and more.
You can sympathise but cannot empathise.
I was still labeled and treated differently, unfairly and as an outcast because of it by ignorant and uninformed people.
The same thing you're accusing me of now.
Once again I ask if you're illegal, have had several hate crimes, and have been put through conversion therapy instead of being able to get actual mental help?
Hello shoe, welcome to the other foot.
This would be a really good comeback if you had any point here whatsoever.

Not a big fan of politics and specific worldviews being spotlighted or showcased. The whole virtue signaling thing is not my cup of tea.
3 -
LGBT+ people existing isn't political.
10 -
What does that have to do with the thread, though?
9 -
I´m sorry you feel like this. It wasn´t my intention to make this weird.
Maybe you should step back, take a deep breath and think about all this.
No one attacked you and you shouldn´t take this personally.
My best friend is gay. So i can understand why you feel attacked. But you shouldn´t. Again, this isn´t a war. This is a game forum where we should discuss game related things, not politics.
The into the Rainbow stream, for example was great. Sure, the mods had to do extra shifts to keep the chat in order. But a lot of people donated money. A lot of people watched it and it was a great show. I think (correct me if i´m wrong) the whole pride thing is about inclusion. Not exclusion. So attacking the people that want you no harm, will lead nowhere.
And don´t worry, i won´t call you son again.
