Hey Look! Another gay day...

Tykian Wrote:Honestly. This is the problem with most minorities. They scream for acceptance, we give it to them, they then continue screaming and shoving their minority's "pride" down your throats. It gets really irritating. I think the gay community just wants to be hated, because it was more exciting. WELL. This'll do it.

In the defense of the minorities, no one really has the kind of complete acceptance people believe they do. White males are still the dominant race across the globe, commanding total and complete acceptance that isn't questioned. Women, non-white ethnicities, LGBT and non-binary gender identities all still face discrimination, prejudice, hate, and violence in enough places that events like these are actually grounded in a real problem that needs fixing (ex. a colloquially named "Kill the Gays" bill was almost brought before parliament in Uganda the other day that would essentially sentence LGBT persons in the country to death, had it been passed. Aka legalized killing of people with nothing wrong with them).

A lot of people have your mentality, for justifiable reasons. People such as yourself typically have above average intelligence, are capable of recognizing differences in people, but ultimately don't care about them in the grand scheme of things so long as they aren't presented in a repeated way that results in annoyance. What I'd ask you to do is please understand what I said above, and to treat such events as DeanNim just said: deal with it by not giving a pomegranate. Is it really worth your time to bother posting that now that you're going to bother wasting your time hating, when you don't have any logical reason to in the first place beyond being annoyed? Things are not as shoved down throats as people make them out to be. You didn't have to click on this thread. You don't have to read flyers posted around town or accept pamphlets from activists.

My challenge for all of you to whom this post applies is to simply ask yourself "Is this worth my time?" every moment from now on in which you're exposed to a message you already agree with for the millionth time, and have an opportunity to comment on. I guarantee you the cumulative time saved by refraining from making such posts as the ones I'm quoting will be a gift to yourselves over time.
