In all seriousness, though, my Complex Thoughts™ about the LGBT Community™ are a few pages back. If you're such an adult, I presume you can click the previous page button without a problem? Most of these things I can agree with. Still, doesn't give you the right to call out allies who don't take as many actions as you would like and then straight up ignore any critic because you can't deal with it. Congratulations on having thoughts™ though.

Anyway, if you're an ally, and you find yourself getting irrationally upset when people don't kiss the very ground you walk on for it, maybe it's time for you to examine whether your allyship is genuine or just performative. Just another Thought™. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I went back to quote myself since, apparently, some people can't. "If you as a straight person feel left out because you weren't born a certain way then try and think how the rest of the year must feel for lgbt+ people." To be an ally all you have to do is be cishet and support lgbt+ people. I don't? Disagree? I'm just saying that certain "allies" here maybe need to think about why people are going off on them instead of getting defensive.

But you are right, some 'allies' are only allies for themselves. Anyways, this is going off the original topic, the pride flag which shouldn't be used by allies, so I'll stop.

As someone who is Asexual and questioning other parts of their sexuality (might be Bi), seeing how the people of the LGBTA+ community act here is really unsettling...

Okay I respect you but. yawn I'm getting tired of this someone literally just sent me a pm saying I'm a bully because of this and I don't know why Quick note: if anyone is receiving PMs that are insulting or defaming you, please PM a staff member that's online & report the user + forward the PM. I find it oddly ridiculous that people are PMing someone to tell them they're a "bully." If you're going to call someone a name or insult them, whether it's in PMs or not, you will receive a warning for it.
