If you want to be treated equally then stop pointing it out?

Question

For so long i have wondered why so many gay people celebrate gay pride, or go on and on about how they are gay. Same with some coloured people, they have celebrate black history month and the "music of black origin awards". All of this whilst pointing out "we just want to be equal". The same with some women, constantly saying "as a woman...."

I'm not against anyone, I love all races, sexualities, genders etc.

However, put the shoe on the other foot, imagine we have a day to celebrate being white, or being a man, or being straight. Think of the up raw this would cause and would instantly be .lablled as "racist, sexist, homophobic" etc

Surely if people want equality, then they should stop trying to show that they are different when they aren't. right?

I agree. I have wondered the same thing

Pride isn't about telling people we're different. Pride is about standing up to bigotry and telling the bigots that we're not about to let them make is ashamed of being ourselves anymore.

Until people like you learn that lesson, we're going to keep needing to have it.
