There is so much privilege in this statement. I can only assume that no part of your gender/sexuality/race/religion/etc has ever been illegal or called an abomination or that you aren't a "real" person with rights. These parades are about being seen, about demanding basic human rights. A little empathy on your part could go a long way. Also, why do we need parades for Thanksgiving or Christmas. People just want to celebrate.

No.. You don't get to equate the prosecution of Jews or the literal enslavement of Black people to the "struggles" of LGBTQ.

There are no laws indicted that dictates you can't work if you are LGBTQ, there are no LGBTQ only water fountains and they are not forced to wear an identifying symbol on their arm for their camps.

LGBTQ loves to lump religion, race and their own decision to change "gender" together so that they can use it as a trojan horse to push their agenda.

Should we care for them? Yes. Should we love them? Yes and I believe that they must have access to all the therapy and treatments that they need when diagnosed with gender dysphoria.

Should they be able to have an entire "month" dedicated to them and parade it in front of our children? No, I don't think so. Nor do I think it's wise to subject our children to these at the age of 5 and then encourage them to take puberty blockers and have life altering surgeries as soon as they are 16 to feel at "ease" with their chosen gender.

If we are even not even willing to have a conversation about this without one side immediately jumping into calling the other "transphobic", then we may have a problem.

Why can't we have an honest conversation about this issue for once with being attacked?

Don't attend, then. No one forces you.

I'm expected to have "honest conversations" with people who call me a pedophile. You try it for a change.

One obscure law from 70 years ago that only prevented *reads wikipedia section* about 5000 people in a country of millions from working at a very specific place, is this really the best defense of your claim ?

>Don't attend, then. No one forces you.

There is a certain audaciousness to the idea of making a parade a public month-long occupation of streets and public squares then telling people they can not attent if they want. The only thing missing is for you to tell the GP to "Make Your Own City Bro" if they don't like what their city is doing.

I can equally say, "Don't attend the UAE then. No one forces you." but I have a feeling you won't take it gracefully.

>I'm expected to have "honest conversations" with people who call me a pedophile.

Who's expecting you ? and who's calling you a pedophile without provocation ?
