So .... if we do not agree we should just move on ? Are we not to voice opposition to it ? Well, I do oppose it , and will not remain silent about it.

For some "Gay Pride" means becoming openly a part of society, rather than a hidden, discriminated group. Gay bashing was considered more of a sport than a crime. For some, "Gay Pride" means the Bible is not the law of the land.

It may not be "the law of the land", but it is considered by many to be the Word of God.

I disagree. It was triumphant, not sad at all. Those brave gay men fighting back, taking a stand for their humanity! I was in Zurich when it happened, I was listening on BBC Radio. I screamed with joy and solidarity.
Long Live Stonewall and its message to the world!

Good point. Thanks for info
I thought I would add a link about the Pulse Night Club shooting here in Orlando, FL. It happened on June 12, 2016.

When I lived in New York City years ago, they would have Gay Pride parades. I remember I saw part of one on one of the streets. There was a float with an older woman on it. She had a sign by her that said something like, "Grandmas for Gay Rights!'

You said "just move on" which implies IMO the same thing as be silent. Hence my comment.

Yes! It is constitutional after all. (Amendment 1 to the U.S. Constitution.)

"feel free to move on "..... "just move on" ? ...... slicing it pretty slim. And please do not tell me how I should interpret anything.
IMO, a thread cannot be "intended" for any[one] , in an open forum.
Not aiming for a shit-show , but I will voice my opinion / position as I choose.

I have nothing more ........ for now. I voiced my opposition to all things queer ....... nuff said.
oh good, nuff said, now we can go back to a positive thread.
I think it is great that we (well, most of us anyway) can now accept people as they are and nobody is discriminated against because of race, gender, sexuality and that this is protected in law.
Although I am not gay (or a minority race) I ca n appreciate the hard work to get t o this point and that is a source of pride.

I just got back to town and posted this today. A little bit late, but I see I missed some negativity here.....too bad. Now I know why nobody cared to reply at all. Well, Happy Pride Month to all!
Happy Pride Month in America 2024!

So is this
1 John 3 :: NIV. How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him.
Does that mean some children are to be treated differently?

On the contrary, you said:
" ... original thread devolved into a s*** show ... If you don't agree with it, feel free to move on."
