If my Niagara Falls photo sporting Pride colors offended you last night then you need more 🫂, 🤙🏻, and 💜 in your life and it shows.

Pride isn't about pushing an agenda or narrative. Pride is about showing support for people that didn't have our public support for quite some time. They were ridiculed. They were discriminated against. They were killed.

Supporting Pride means that you support love and freedom to love whomever you want to love and should be able to live your life however you choose.

If a group of people were persecuted for hundreds of years, I think 30 days of public support from time to time sounds like the least we could do.

Besides, it doesn't hurt me to support another human. But, it's possible that it could make them feel all that much better.

I'm all for equal treatment of people, but I think "pride flags" & "pride month" are really as destructive & divisive as black history month or Juneteeth. They all perpetuate the stupid & arbitrary separation that the bigots wanted in the first place. In the words of Morgan Freeman, "Do you want a white history month? ...just stop talking about it!"

Somehow pride went from “let’s leave everyone alone and let them live their life” which I agree with, into “heteronormativity is evil, traditional families are evil, there are too many people on earth, and we need to convert and sterilize children”.

Keep anti-family indoctrination out of schools. Live your life. Be free. Just don’t groom our children.
