This is something I hear often, especially around this time of year when many Gay Pride celebrations take place. Well, to answer your question with a question, when did it become okay to celebrate the oppressors for discrimination, hate, and violence to a minority in the community? Why don't we have Nazi day? Why don't we have Slave Owner Appreciation days? The answer is, oppression is not something to be proud of. The purpose for gay pride is not to alienate, but to provide support. To let others know they are not alone. There are others just like them out there. To let the community know that we are a part of their neighborhoods and we want equality. There is nothing we would like better than to change gay pride days to United Community days. Change them to Love Our People days. Yes, there are some people who may in fact take things to far and make things in appropriate, but that is not gay nature, but human nature. Least not forget the KKK. Even the other side has it extremists. So if you are feeling left out for not having a celebration, embrace equality, embrace goodwill and your are welcome to join our celebrations. Love to all
