Gay Pride MONTH?
 
So my Simpsons calendar tells me that Gay Pride Month begins today. As is well known, I'm a pretty liberal guy who supports gay marriage and all of that kind of stuff. But is it really necessary to have a whole month dedicated to this? Are we that proud that we need to spend a month reveling in the pride of it? Maybe their should be a text sim geek month too? Funny button wearer's pride month?

Sun Tzu 06-01-2009 09:22 AM
Yes it is. I also feel that there should be a talk like a pirate month.

yar

It's a product of our present society.

ISiddiqui 06-01-2009 09:24 AM
Why not? We have a Black History Month, Asian-American History Month (just ended), etc, etc.

Noop 06-01-2009 09:25 AM
I do find it funny that gay pride month is in June which is a pretty hot month. Think about that.

I guess I don't understand why those (or anything, really) needs a whole month.

I'm still holding out for a Heterosexual pride month. I think they call it Carnivale in Brazil. On second thought, that may be both sexual orientations all rolled up into one.

I enjoy straight white male history year.

I could get on board with a steak and BJ month.

Big Fo 06-01-2009 10:29 AM
Aren't homosexuals like 3-5% of the population? Wouldn't a fortnight be more appropriate?

Shit, I'm gonna miss Pumpy's posts for 30 days.

I cashed in on that finally this year.

Steak wasn't that great though :(

Shoulda gone to the Outback. No rules, just right.

That's the plan for next year. She even said she'd buy, though I wish she could cook better.

We've had this discussion before. Outback sucks...

Talking about a BJ in a thread about gay pride.

Funny things happen when you're made ashamed of who you are most everyday:

It must be how Cowboys fans feel.

Warhammer 06-01-2009 12:54 PM
I don't know what happened to Outback, but they suddenly do suck. Its as though they changed their cooking method or something.

I'm pretty sure Cowboy Pride Weeks are scheduled for weeks 1 through 3 of the NFL season this year.

The only thing I really like there -- the kookaburra wings -- have been as good as always.

Warhammer 06-01-2009 01:19 PM
Agreed. Their wings and the bloomin' onion are the only menu items I look forward to anymore.

Do you think this is a franchise-wide phenomena, or is this something you have noticed at the one you tend to patronize?

Next month is Heterosexual Pride month

Kodos 06-01-2009 01:59 PM

But only for those of traditional marriages right? Because the gay married makes it dirty.

yeah, this deserves a whole month.

For the record I like the months focusing on historical tidbits from people that aren't white male americans.

Like Linda Lovelace?

how did i get involved

ISiddiqui 06-01-2009 03:32 PM
Apparently from downstairs in my office building it is "Sexual Orientation Pride Month". So start putting up pictures of women to indicate your pride in being straight :)

MrDNA 06-01-2009 08:41 PM
Maybe people can be proud of themselves without being told when to do it?

Maple Leafs 06-01-2009 09:01 PM
But they still can't get married, right?

ISiddiqui 06-02-2009 10:12 AM
Just in time for Sexual Orientation Month :D

The Washington Monthly

Quote:
Dick Cheney rarely takes a position that places him at a more progressive tilt than President Obama. But on Monday, the former vice president did just that, saying that he supports gay marriage as long as it is deemed legal by state and not federal government.
Speaking at the National Press Club for the Gerald R. Ford Foundation journalism awards, Cheney was asked about recent rulings and legislative action in Iowa and elsewhere that allowed for gay couples to legally wed.
"I think that freedom means freedom for everyone," replied the former V.P. "As many of you know, one of my daughters is gay and it is something we have lived with for a long time in our family. I think people ought to be free to enter into any kind of union they wish. Any kind of arrangement they wish. The question of whether or not there ought to be a federal statute to protect this, I don't support. I do believe that the historically the way marriage has been regulated is at the state level. It has always been a state issue and I think that is the way it ought to be handled, on a state-by-state basis. ... But I don't have any problem with that. People ought to get a shot at that."
:D

Not sure what you're trying to say.

1) Gay/Lesbian -Presumably this is a genetic coding (lets not even start the religious debate...please?) beyond control of the person
2) Bi - Hard to argue this si not pure choice/selfishness....I want it ALL!!!
3) Transgender - has nothing to do per se with sexual orientation this is a lifestyle choice...


Sure they are close, but this is almost like having Talk like a Pirate, Native American or Kenyan month
