If you're so strong why you need the whole world for a month to back up your life decisions, lmao
But the serious answer is because LGBTQ people have been systemically discriminated against in pretty much every country
Literally the next thing in my All feed is about the previous US president having a chill time with a man who proposed stoning gay people to death
The month does just give companies an opportunity to sell different colours
Oh sure, there's definitely lots of valid criticism of rainbow capitalism, but to be clear, it's not pride month itself that's the issue there - it's corporations leveraging it for profit
A whole month that still wont effect you in anyway.
