    Awesome! Diversity is the spice if life and something to celebrate, not be scared of.

    And for the critics and their never ending comparisons: ‘when you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.’

    /Cheers,

    If there were not so many bigots on this planet we would not require special months to make minorities feel accepted. And if you think pride month is about sex you can toss yourself in that category.

    But where is super straight celebration month wings?



    Have you been oppressed because of your sexuality? Not accepted? Did you have to explain to your parents that you were different and praying that they would still accept you and not kick you out of the house? What do you want a month for? Aren't you "normal"?

    If you honestly think every group has the same rights in this world and many aren’t being oppressed you are exactly the ‘privileged’ in the quote. Also, when you accept every person, no matter the color, gender etc. you apparently automatically belong to that group and get called a ‘kid.’ As a 43 year old white male I’ll tell my wife and three kids that, I am pretty sure even my 6 year old will think you are dumb too. 

    And then I haven’t even mentioned the silly notion that you seem to believe Pride is about sex….. I always grew up with the idea that it is better to keep your mouth shut if you don’t know what you are talking about, kids these days though….

    And back to the topic please, diversity, yeah!

    Arenanet is one of those few companies for whom pride is not performative. You can look back to their game from launch and see that it's always been inclusive, and that is to be applauded.

    I also had a laugh at someone assuming lahnmar was gay just because he has empathy. Because to conservatives, being expected to show basic empathy is oppression. Tells you all you need to know.

    It's too bad we can't have a discussion about normal things without the hateful and insecure spewing their bile all over everyone else who doesn't share their horrible viewpoint.

    Reminds me of some Neil Young lyrics from Ragged Glory, "...Love and only love will endure. Hate is everything you think it is."

    The wings are very cool looking.

    nobody asked for your age, gender, or sexual orientation kid, i'll call you a kid when you act like one, spewing insults every 5 seconds and saying nothing of value.

    being on topic would require you to actually put effort and thought into your posts and actually discuss the matter, which you are refusing to do and shutting down any attempts of. lol, tell us more about your perceived victim complex while we have parades going down the street celebrating where you chose to put your penis.

    so anyway, enough about the straight white male who is dictating about oppression...
    You’re describing your own posts here, your projection is of the charts. If you don’t understand basic human empathy (as shown again) or the fact that Pride is not about sex (as shown again) there is no discussion possible. You can’t even figure out that you were the insulting one in the first place, Talking about no effort posts. And yes, there are parades down the street, now tell me you also don’t understand why they are there because you think they show equality. They don’t, that’s the whole point of having them. So, back on topic now?

    Yeah, and bigots have plenty of parades, all year round even, with beautiful flags, symbols and awesome masks they wear while singing. Some even rock white dresses while doing so. No difference really, except one parade is about fear, power and hate and the other one is about equality, the right to be yourself and raising awareness. The latter is of course the bad parade,  ‘because empathy is gay.’ 

    There is no understanding these clowns, its all projection and being scared. And the usual fake comparisons and derailing of course. Also, lets not forget the weird obsession with somebody else’s penis.

    The only one not leaving others alone is you. And when people use ‘bigot’ it is not because they are mean, dictating or whatever, it is calling someone out on their behavior. But since blame shifting seems to be your favorite tactic it is great to read you are going to be ignoring yourself from now on. Have fun with that, I agree it is a great idea. 

    And besides your own toxic behavior I still haven’t found any other toxic insults or how people are dictating how others should think or feel (perhaps you could educate yourself a little with stuff like ‘the paradox of tolerance.’), it is almost as if you are projecting.  That and blame shifting being standard tactics being used by the intolerant of course. I look forward not hearing from you anymore, lets see if you can keep your promise.

    Nobody is dictating how you should feel, the problem is your feelings are based on ignorant bullshit. How about just being a better human being and not shitting on something that makes others feel better about themselves? What's the point of being angry over something that makes someone else feel accepted? And even if you are why do you need to project on others? How does pride month hurt you? The bottom line here is you're being a dick for no reason other than to be a dick. The bottom line is there is a stigma for being gay that people like you keep alive. I have seen first hand what it does to people. I have friends who were literally kicked out of their home and disowned by their parents for coming out. Pride month is for them to know they have support from many people, even when their own family does not provide it. It is treating them like humans, even if they are "different". Try it sometime.

    This bible says to honor people of all sorts. Jesus talked about how God shows love to all people by how he gives his gifts freely, like sunshine and rain, he is indifferent when it comes to his love. Bible also says to show love even to your enemy. You dont need to agree with someone to show them love.

    False:

    Leviticus 18:22
    Roman's 1: 26-27
    Corinthians 6: 9-10
    Jude 1:7
    Mark 10: 6-9

    Go read a little you may find it helpful 
    None of that says to hate someone or not to show them love. I too can quote vers after vers of where Christians are to show love. Matt 5:44 Jesus says to show love to even our enemies. The Bible is clear, as Christians we are not to hate. You dont need to agree with anyone's life style but we should be willing to lay down our life for anyone. LGBTQ have the right to live their life as much as we do. Threating Gods wrath on them, only makes them want to take away our rights for attacking them with words. No one wins in that case.

    Just so I've got this straight,  you are ridiculing the beliefs of hundreds of millions of people to show you have the moral high ground for open mindness? I don't agree with his post either but it is the ignorance of people like you who feed that viewpoint and hate.  Just because your hate is different and trendy doesn't make it any better.

    Ideas and intrinsic qualities aren't the same thing, fam. People get to pick their ideology. They do not get to pick their race, gender, or sexual orientation. If you choose to fall into a hateful subset of a religion of hundreds of millions of people, then no, I don't respect you, nor should I. Those religions have killed millions of people. A little mockery from a few harmless atheists is the least they deserve. It is better, because we don't murder people, disown our children, or pass legislation that makes your lives more difficult.
