This was the point I made in a now-deleted thread.
Very much so.
Yes, the Pride flag is associated with a cause, but it’s also a celebratory symbol. I don’t see how it’s any more a reminder of the real world than the daily Flag Retreat.
I think the argument would be that the rainbow flag represents a “people group” and not a political movement.
The only old example is housing discrimination.
You're right. The right to keep and bear arms is actually an enumerated right in the Constitution. I've yet to be presented with any examples of how civil rights are being denied to LGBT folks in 2022.
As is your right. A previous member said that if churches don't allow LGBT pastors, true equality doesn't exist.
No, they can't. You can thank the Civil Rights Act for that.
Are you referring to Florida?
That you tried to compare those who support the Second Amendment to the LGBTQ+ community, in relations to public displays of support in a theme park is absurd.
What "medical care" you are referring to?
Sadly I know of 2 teens whom are not out fully due to negative beliefs around them.
Part of this is due to schools not even having the ability to do much. DD now 13 was in 3rd grade passed a note that told her to k*** herself with drawings of a person. This past year again in 7th told by a student she should k*** herself overheard by a teacher this time. In neither instance was the student punished, it was a quick call to the parents, that's it since it was the first time each student had been warned for bullying that semester. Meanwhile one of her friends 2 months prior did attempt at school bathroom, the results: her friend was expelled because it caused an interruption to the school day.
Yes we did...and a larger group of us did at the different photo ops they had in each park. It was a very sweet gesture to have these, and there were lines for them in each park. The amount of Rainbow merchandise was wonderful to see...For decades we have made our own shirts and apparel to wear for Gay Days...it was lovely to see the park finally has caught on in the last few years and is officially celebrating with us.
The same reason it's appropriate to celebrate when people get married at Disney World.
Having worked for the company for several decades in various capacities, I don't need a history less on it's ideology, history, or operations. Thank you.
Brave men and women fought and died for that flag. It also happens to be the flag of the territory where they fly, and in the cases of the international Main Street U.S.As, the flag of the territory they claim to transport you to.
The difference is that one side of the ideological spectrum, and as a result, overwhelming swaths of American institutions, have taken up LGBT pride as one of their causes. That's what makes it political.
Correct. If 1A protections extended to individual to individual speech, it would be chaos. That's not my point. My point is that if you see someone who has a viewpoint which you disagree strongly, you should present facts and arguments to challenge their perception, not call for their censorship.
Yes, Valentine's Day is incredibly dumb.
I apologise for assuming.
It certainly feels like a celebration to those of us who don't see ourselves represented in the same way.
So if you are a part of the LBGTQ+ community, why express such negative views toward your own community and a rainbow pride mural?
I don't dispute that, actually. If Disney were to have a same-sex couple as the stars of a new movie (which I suspect is in the pipeline), and it's successful, I also wouldn't really have a problem with them being in a parade.
I didn't say I am; but it's not safe to assume that someone is or isn't. Other LGBT folks on this site and even this thread have expressed why they feel that pride month and/or these murals do nothing for them.
