Hey Look! Another gay day...

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.

Fair enough, but I'd like to disagree with the first paragraph. I don't know how it is down yonder, but up here in Canoodle we tend to be about as accepting as they come, at least my generation. In fact in my high school the best way to become an outcast was homophobia or sexism. Racism still cropped up in satire, but for the most part it's just general not giving a pineapple humor. I myself am a member of 2 minorities so I don't speak as your typical "white male". Otherwise, I agree, that was a pretty pointless post. However you need to remember Canada is not just another star on the flag. Things up here tend to be a bit more... relaxed.

@Mute: Well Mr. Steven, on the whole, I would tend to agree. Except the great white noth already accepts same-sex marriages. Unless you include gossip, however that's practically all your average boring waste of oxygen does with their existance.
