"Regardless of what I feel on the matter, I get why people who feel marginalised would want to celebrate & party...it's the summer too so crack on and enjoy yourself if you're going to any outdoor events. What does rip my knitting however is the blatant commercialisation of Pride. It feels completely disingenuous and no more than a box ticking exercise for many companies. " I agree regarding the corporate sponsorship of Pride. Feels like it detracts from what Pride is about, the community coming together. Although I recently went to the Swansea Pride March and event, which for some reason was earlier and it was great. Zero corporate influence, all organised by the local LGBT community and some of the trade unions | |||

"Less is more... Yep, like I said above Homosexuality has never been as acceptable as it is now yet someone decided we should now go on about it for a whole month. I'd rather it was talked about less myself and became a non subject. That always used to be the aim" With respect, you're being naive. Because there are plenty of people who still hate those who aren't straight, and who would love to roll back the rights won. And they're not going to stop trying to make that happen. Decent people stopping talking about gay rights, trans rights etc plays right into their hands. | |||

"Why is there no heterosexual pride month?.... Again it's the minority who shouts the loudest I won't be celebrating it.... not that I'm a homophobe or transfobic or waysist but I can't see why everyone should make a big deal about it Because every day is heterosexual pride day. In a world where heterosexuality is the assumptive default for every media outlet, film, TV, newspaper, radio, advert or game, then every day is a straight party, you just can’t see it because it’s so prevalent Think you've missed my point for a tiny percentage of the population why such a big deal? You never hear of ginger month or budgie owners month No one’s getting killed for owning a budgie " don't no about that ask Jeff capes | |||

"Incident of hate crimes based on sexual orientation have risen every year for the last 5+ years and lgbt people face discrimination housing, healthcare, the workplace, sport etc etc. The UK has also fallen down the league table of best places to live for lgbt people and is currently NOT on the list of safe countries to seek asylum as a trans person. That's why visibility matters, and why pride events matter. " | |||

No; ageist would be me denying him rights and support based off his age. Not me saying a quote because he’s purposely attention seeking and being belligerent on a post that was just meant to be a HAPPY PRIDE POST. | |||

"As a proud bi-curious member of the lgbtqia+ community, I've often wondered what it would be like to go to a pride event." You should go! Lots of straight people attend pride events too to support their family: and there are straight trans people. Pride is for everyone! (Well, apart from homophobes and transphobes). | |||

"As a proud bi-curious member of the lgbtqia+ community, I've often wondered what it would be like to go to a pride event." Go to a smaller event would be my advice. The bigger ones (Manchester & London) are corporate now so will cost you just to get into the main areas. Add that to the price of accommodation, food and drink and it’s an expensive few days. The parades are worth watching but that’s about it. Either way you’ll be welcomed and should enjoy yourself | |||
