This is supposed to be a thread about LION pride, not gay pride!

It's so disgusting, I used to like pride when it was this weird little makeshift event that sprouted up seemingly at random during the summer. It was weird, it pissed people off, what's there not to like? What it has become is turns my stomach, nobody wants to see your weird buttsecks flags.

Let's watch lion pride videos instead:

He is "getting boned for pride", handing out free saucages... he's also selling "testicles and ovaries" at a discounted price:

He should've tossed all that meat to the lions instead:

Pride can trigger mental health issues:

I came across his video of queers/troons (? I honestly don't know WTF they are) reviewing Pride t-shirts:

It used to be something other than a dumping ground for worthless corporate merch they turn out every June to capitalize on the sodomites and their sinful ways.

Actually it's even worse now, I don't care if you are personally gay but the "community" is one of the inner circles of cringe.

We should go back to persecuting gays and lesbians for allowing totally fucking deviant trannies and furries to ruin it.

You mean straight activists; AIDS pretty much killed off the OG leadership. Also, figures like Randy Shilts espoused some really based opinions that, if AIDS happened today, would've gotten him cancelled:

“The trouble was that, by definition, you had a gay male subculture in which there was nothing to moderate the utterly male values that were being adulated more religiously than any macho heterosexual could imagine…Promiscuity was rampant because in an all-male subculture there was nobody to say ‘no’ – no moderating role like that a woman plays in the heterosexual milieu. Some heterosexual males privately confided that they were enthralled with the idea of the immediate, available, even anonymous, sex a bathhouse offered, if they could only find women who would agree. Gay men, of course, agreed, quite frequently.” – “And the Band Played On”

“If I criticize the gay community, then I’m part of the establishment. I sold out, rather than just having a different opinion. There’s no room in the gay community for people of good intention having different opinions. Either you have the opinion or you’re nothing.” – New York Times: April 30, 1993

“The gay community didn’t want me to write about things like bathhouses that made gays look bad. But to me that was like going to one side of a burning building and covering the firemen trying to put out the fire, and then ignoring the guy on the other side who’s dumping gas on it.” – Los Angeles Times: October 09, 1987

“The politically correct line, emerging from a handful of ‘AIDS activists,’ maintained that talking about the gay community’s prodigious promiscuity was part of a ‘blame-the-victim mentality.’”– “And the Band Played On”

“I hate to be the one to say it, but I don’t think our gay leaders are going to tell us. The fact is that we’re not in the middle of the epidemic, we’re at the beginning…I don’t think that civil liberties are the most important thing. The gay political leadership is misguiding us by always talking about civil liberties. The most important thing for most gay men in the next five years, particularly in urban areas, is going to be just keeping sane in the face of all this suffering, because what I do know is going to happen is that we are going to be facing an incredible amount of untimely death…We need to begin gearing ourselves for it psychologically as human beings.” – Au Courant: 1987

You know his book about AIDS? It got him spat on in the streets by his own fellow gays. They viewed him as a traitor, an Uncle Tom. It was only after he died of AIDS himself that he was suddenly reclaimed as a hero for the community, the very same community that abhorred his central thesis that yeah, Reagan was an asshole, but you didn't do yourselves any favors. That's the whole point of his book, but any reading other than "gays dindu nuffin, they was good boys" will be ridiculed. Honestly, Shilts is refreshing in a time where "you must support the narrative or else" is the norm because he wasn't afraid to call out shit where he saw it, regardless of who it was peddling it.

Fun fact: Shilts tells the story of one big shot newspaper editor in the gay community who would have a kill list - every time AIDS killed one of the people on the list, who he hated because they disagreed with his proto-AIDS denialism, he'd cross off a name. That's the kinda fella that infests the gay community nowadays: that and largely straight "allies" who think they've got a case of the Heterosexual Man's Burden.

Another notable figure was Larry Kramer, who wrote Faggots, in which he exposed certain elements and practices within the gay community. The fact he was explicit about it (one of the characters, sure to excite certain folks today, is a sixteen year old recruited to do gay porn) provoked controversy just like Shilts' book did, and got him condemned too. Even the grocery store he went to banned him for it.

On the reception of the novel Kramer said: "The straight world thought I was repulsive, and the gay world treated me like a traitor. People would literally turn their back when I walked by. You know what my real crime was? I put the truth in writing. That's what I do: I have told the fucking truth to everyone I have ever met." He'd also be expelled from the GMHC (formerly Gay Men's Health Crisis) because people were still butthurt (no pun intended) about the book. One Redditor summed it up as follows: "He got into a lot of trouble for this book, because it was so unsparingly critical of gay life in the pre-AIDS "golden years." People stopped talking to him, furious that he dared to wash our dirty linen in pubic at a time when it could unquestionably hurt us. It was problematic in many ways; I'd even say self-hating."

However, Faggots would, like ATBPO, become one of the best selling gay books of all time, and is often referred to in college classes. He spent the rest of his life thereafter insisting on the same point Shilts raised, that certain practices and tendencies in the gay community did more harm than good, but was predictably dismissed by gay people who got their beliefs from straight "allies" like Salon's Richard Kim who threw him under the bus.

About talking shit/facts about how faggots did the AIDS epidemic to themselves.

In my country at least, fags gets free Prep. Which has evolved into a clusterfuck where fags straight up deny it, if it's not raw. As Prep do not protect from anything else than HIV, they will of course get other STDs. As a result from being on antibiotic all the time, you end up with STDs that are resistant against antibiotics.
It's the AIDS epidemic again. Faggots learning from history, level impossible!
