I totally see where you're coming from dude. I don't express my opinion on the whole pride thing with anyone, especially my friends from high school because they take it as a personal attack when its just me sharing an opinion that is not totally in opposition to their own. 

 

If you want to be gay, just be gay. If you wanna be trans, thats cool too. Not my cup of tea but you do you. 

 

I don't understand why, at least in the United States, you need a parade to feel accepted but if that's what you think you need, go for it. Won't catch me there.

 

Dude you need to chill.

Bingo. The best way to be accepted into being normal is acting the part and not making yourself loud and annoying to the majority.

Maybe because literally only four years ago in the United States, was same sex marriage available nationally?  Even then in the aftermath various law makers and civil servants made every effort they could to stop access to such things?  Because some kids in all parts of the United States risk being thrown out of their home or worse if they come out to their parents?  Because a majority of US states it's legal to fire or evict someone for being gay?  ...I could go on but but if you can't 'understand why' from these points, you likely will never understand.

 

Just remember, maybe you've enjoyed a good amount of acceptance in your life or maybe even you're just comfortable being at least some degree in the closet, but this isn't true for everyone and there are individuals across the United States who live in a wide range of different social circumstances that are different than your own.

seems like LGBT pride in US is so much different to LGBT pride here... meanwhile pride in US is meant for fighting to get some rights, here it looks like this:

http://svobodnenoviny.eu/prague-pride-jsem-uchyl-ja-nebo-oni/ ... they just show off , they don't fight for anything. just look at that post, it's from last year from prague. 

 

and tell me, do you think that is okay? does that put positive light on whole idea ?

Both the United States and Canada are built on ideals of freedom of expression.  I see that you want to argue against freedom of expression but if that's something you oppose, I really can't change your mind, can I?

oh, I'm trying to show you how bad it looks in my country which is not canada or US. freedom of expression is one thing, but when you are offending other people with it, it's not okay. just, look at that link. prides here are far away from what you see in US and Canada. 

 

and you should see how Russians treat LGBT people... I think that's the other side of extreme. [one side is too much freedom and other side is no freedom at all] .

I do have issues at home to the point where I can't have a girlfriend until I move out. I'd rather not keep a relationship a secret anymore. With how expensive it is here to live on your own...that dream won't be for a while.  :|

Unfortunately for me all of my relationships even when I dated a lady back when I was confused, they’re all secret. Only a few friends knew who I dated.

For me it was bad enough to where I had to be drunk to tell these kinds of secrets to my close friends. I'm that hidden.

I'm still closeted to my family. I'm not super proud of that, but they're also very conservative and religious.

It happens but it's not too terribly frequent.  Would be hand to have a 'bat signal' for those times though.

My family doesn't give a shit that I'm gay. I mean, 8 years ago...

 

...fuck, 2009's been that long ago?

Anyway, 8 years ago, we went out to Colorado to attend the gay wedding of one of my cousins.

It's an unfortunate reality for too many, really.  And it's things like that which are why it's good to include LGBT characters in video games or TV or other media.  It's things like that why people march with rainbow flags.  Hell it's why there's a flag in my window.  It makes it seen and known.

 

I'm sure some would argue that people shouldn't have to be 'out' and that 'sexuality is a private thing' but in so many ways it's not.  Even just a casual conversation with co-workers friends can contain something like 'My girlfriend saw the cutest dog yesterday' or anything else that which defines their sexuality in the process.  It creates scenarios where those in heterosexual relationships are free to include their relationships as conversation topics where as those in homosexual relationships are not.

 

We're in a world where, even in some of the most liberal places, being in the closet in some or all areas of life is 'convenient' and that's not the way the world should work.  It's quite simply not fair.

Its like that with me too. I wouldn't dare come out to them ever. At the very least while i'm living at home. I would definitely get the boot immediately. At least there are a few people who don't care but sadly they have no pull. Ah well someday

I agree 100%. It's something I really struggle with.

tbh my parents like the fact that I spend thousands on computers a year and always have less than $100 in my bank account less than the fact that I'm gay :P
