For me is irrelevant what other choose, they are people just like me and that’s enough.
As far as I understand, the whole point is that some people don’t think it’s irrelevant and discriminate others based on their sexuality (or lack thereof). So they make it public and open up about it to show that it is not bad and lots of people are like that - that’s kinda the whole point of the pride parades I think?
There will be always people that don’t like you because you are different . Because is a personal and private subject. They feel they can judge . So is like feeding them. We have to protect of private and personal word. I don’t agree is the way.
It’s one thing to openly be a happy gay couple, and another going to excessive lengths to make sure everyone witnesses you as gay.
A minority will fight back, because no one can please everyone, but for most people, it’s as annoying as straight/religious/republicans/etc. people making that trait their personality. We don’t care, just make the world better by being happy with yourself.
I totally agree. But the solution i think is not exposing yourself. And not because one is gay or not. Its because is your private life, it’s a double-edged weapon. I repeat, not just exposing if you are gay or not, anything that is my sexual life, i keep it private. Because is part of your “sacred temple” or those tings that makes you unique. I think the fight should be without exposition, because we are talking about RIGHTS, human rights, no need of self exposition, is what we deserve as humans beings. Everyone.
You’re completely missing the opposite though. Should straight-cis-whatever be just as private? How does that work with media and entertainment? What types of relationships are being used to tell a story and how does that effect someone watching? You can’t just say it should stay Private when every piece of our society-fabric is woven with hetero storytelling/traditions.
A traditional marriage is a heterosexual parade (even have throwing shit and jumbling cans behind the car so everyone knows!).
Also, I’m not sure you’re aware of this (I guess), but most people in history just don’t come out exclaiming their sexual preferences. They were outted and condemned by the communities and people in it. They suffer in silence while those around them judge and make their lives harder (or end them). You can’t ask a whole swath of people to stay “private” while others celebrate their relationship openly, I don’t even understand how you can equate all of this together honestly. This just seems like a “don’t dress provocative if you don’t want to be raped” kinda view.
They are not just bigots, they are people that were rised with a poor point of view and they attach to the point of view of others without having a criticism mentality. They just repeat . Like religion. The problem if you expose your private life as a cost, society is fucked up and doesn’t matter people will always criticize you. No matter if is of sexual orientation or if you don’t like football. Or alcohol.
Bigotry thrives on ignorance. By coming out and speaking up, people are actively challenging a status quo that enables such ignorance.
You’ll sometimes notice this when a homophonic parent has to confront their own child coming out instead of just a bogeyman ‘other’. Not always, but occasionally, they’ll actually rethink their ingrained biases.

They don’t want to have to hide who they are, make up lies, etc. They are demanding the right to be who they are. I think it’s great.
Gay couples shouldnt have to stay secret, trans people shouldnt have to stay locked in their homes.
I deserve to exist as a human in public.

Those people are called bigots and we should continue to expose and ridicule them for their idiotic biases.
