A "Christian, conservative, Constitution supporter" is holding the opposite of Pride Month at his Boise bar... but it still sounds pretty gay.

    The answer is the old chestnut,

    “When you are accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.”

    People like those you’re responding to often see the world as a zero-sum game. If LGBTQ+ people carve out – or in this case, demand – representation for themselves, they believe that representation must take away “representation points” or whatever from some other group.

    Frankly, Pride is the one time of year it’s okay to tell these people to shut the fuck up and sit down.

      Uh, no. I think I’ve been super clear in my support for LGBTQ+ community and their representation.

      I meant that many kinds of heterosexual couples are barely covered by modern culture, and it’s important to show that hetero couples can be very different and still amazing.

      Because what I see on hetero couples on the media is just one, very traditional, kind of relationship. That’s not how all heterosexual relationships look, and it’s important to show that so that people would be more free to be themselves and build their futures in freedom. Freedom to be the kind of heterosexuals they want to be, if they are hetero to begin with.
