        You don’t see how hosting a non-existent counter-event to the very real pride month is an inherent rejection of said pride month?

            So you think that it isn’t a dog whistle because… not enough people showed up and too many people are aware of it existing?

                I don’t think anyone asked you for your opinion on it. I do remember you asking how it was a dog whistle. Maybe you have a bigger horse in this race than you let on.

                  No, not really. Like I said, genuinely curious. I do not see how a tiny nothing bar offering free beer in Idaho can be a dog whistle for hatred to gather. Anyhow, thanks for the response! Have a nice day!

                    Oh yes really. You don’t seem genuinely curious at all. You seem like you want to dogmatically defend it. You’re also being purposefully obtuse about it when you say things like

                    I do not see how a tiny nothing bar offering free beer in Idaho can be a dog whistle for hatred to gather

                    Like if all that was happening was a small bar in Idaho was offering free beer, then it wouldn’t be a dog whistle at all. But that’s not what’s happening, which I think you know full well.

                    Genuinely curious, I’m just asking questions and arguing against the answers! Just a curious guy, nothing else! No horse in this race…but you’re wrong.

                    I love it when the JAQasses show up.

          People celebrate hetro love as a whole. The vast majority of society approves of us pairing up. Pride is about the people who don’t get celebrated when they pair up.

          You wouldn’t go to a funeral and start complaining that there are other people in world that also had meaningful lives. You let them have their day.

          So when people make these straight pride stuff it’s basically saying having 11 out of 12 months a year wasn’t enough, we need to have the last bit.

          And yes I am straight. I just understand for the roughly 2% of the human race that isn’t they should be able to have normal lives.
