I don't think the anti lgbtq rhetoric will effect pride month

[reymega life]

It will expose and out all the bigots and homophobes and transphobes and it will effectively out all the people who are the real groomers like the right wing that grooms their children to hate and pumps their brains of poison and hate.

1. Often this has the OPPOSITE effect....

As illustrated in this post.

The haters will stick out like sore thumbs, mocked, and made examples of.

For America is the LAND of the FREE, HOME of the BRAVE.

2. The anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric inspires me.

Inspires me to be more vocal, visible and supportive of the LBGTQ+ community.

Let's all make this the loudest and proudest pride year ever!

5. What do you mean expose ? The anti gay bigots are very public and open

about their bigotry.

And events and people have already been affected.

12. Anecdotal, but we increased our contribution

and volunteer work for this year's pride festival in response. I think you're right to be optimistic about the goodness of people.
