Happy LGBTQ+ Pride Month: "Be all that you can be," as the US Army says.
Jane Austen was clairvoyant in 1813 when she wrote Pride and Prejudice, a novel about LGBTQ+.
The story teaches us life's most important moral lessons, to put aside our prejudice in favor of who we thought we were at birth and take pride in who we want to be when we grow up, after receiving psychological guidance from a public school teacher, body altering surgery from a med student at the University of Dachau, and mind blowing drugs (Timothy Leary's not dead) from a conveniently located Department of Health and Inhuman Services infirmary. Also, gender equality is one of the main themes of this story. It educates cisgendered, hetero-normative 6-16 year old "boys" (sic) and "girls" (sic) to be sexually more fluid and open-minded and to not discriminate against anyone based on their unalieanble Fourteenth Amendment and Magna Carta right to choose their gender and abort their baby.
This month is LGBTQ+ Pride Month, and you really should celebrate. Pride Month is the most important holiday since Black History Month (which quickly became Black History Millenium) and Juneteenth (which will soon be all year round, as in Januaryteenth, Februaryteenth, etc.) Make up your own list of things to do, but here is what Austin (not Austen) Texas has planned for Pride Month. 8 ways to celebrate LGBTQ+ Pride Month in Austin in June (msn.com)
You have provided a fascinating "lifestyle primer" for public enlightenment on the 1st day of LGBTQ+ Pride Month. It's way too long and endlessly repetitive, but the article provides first bottom (not hand) empirical insights into the brutal physicality and horrendous medical consequences of gay sex, which when combined with consideration of the painful emotional stress and the labrynthian psychological complexity (Freud on stilts) of homosexuality should induce us not to celebrate but to sympathize with queers. Now we know that Rock Hudson had a "hard" life, and we ought feel sorry for Mayor Pete.
Wow. I had no idea that lifestyle was so brutal (thanks for posting).
Graphic it was, but very well written and insightful.
The comments were also revealing.
For a community (and supporters) who fiercely defend such a dark and soul-destroying, decadent lifestyle it was interesting to see so many invoke God and redemption in their comments.
All of the other letters are just there to legitimate the T and the P. The T is out in the open now but the P is still top secret(pizzaphile?). As Briggs says, sodomy is something that has always been with us. The push to destigmatize it was always a trojan horse to smuggle in the T and the P.
I call it the LGBWHATEVERITISTHISWEEK because they are always adding letters, and even the members of that tribe don't know what the letters past the "T" mean.
We are definitely not "the first people who insist on celebrating it."
Romans 1:
"26 For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27 and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.
28 And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; 32 and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them."
I'm old enough to remember when it was just LGB. Now, so many subsets of sexual preference simply must be acknowledged (and for God's sake, we must be ever so inclusive) that we are all the way up to "2SLGBTQIA+". I saw this in print a couple weeks ago and I'm not sure what most of it refers to. As a humorous aside, can you imagine President Houseplant at a microphone trying to stumble his way thru THIS dog's breakfast?
I'm old enough to remember when Christianity and Judaism, the profession of psychology and the practitioners of psychiatric medicine officially declared such behavior as deviant, abnormal, and to be ostracized not celebrated.
We demand comprehensive grade school sex education, including topics only right-wingers consider pornographic. That is crucial for promoting sexual health, consent, and knowledge among individuals. Education aims to empower individuals to make informed decisions. The teacher unions foster healthy relationships with free condoms to mitigate supposed infections. Support for such education stems from the collective, even if it conflicts with right-wing moral beliefs. We believe in the mystery that promoting well-being within society is possible through debauchery. We foster the pursuit of Happiness.
I agree, with a caveat...don’t give people ideas! We don’t need more “months” of celebration! I can just imagine the “HBP Parade” of sweating, overweight dudes trying not to vapor lock on a 1 mile route.
Norm McDonald ripped a new one for the Priders. See this interview in which he pondered (hilariously) what it is that an old couple is "proud" of about their homosexual son:
All this can be traced back to that start of our modern woes which is the French Revolution, and the important role therein played by the sexual criminal de Sade. The ideology justifying totalitarianism was certainly important but successful revolution requires above all a solvent and that strange and malevolent man de Sade was the first and greatest of the apothecaries engaged in its manufacture. An examination of the life of this midnight creature will show that as revolutionary tactics go, not much has changed in the last 250 years.
A great comfort it is to remember how much gnashing of teeth, moments of self-loathing (however fleeting) and general cognitive dissonance this one sentence has sparked in such pitiful souls: "The people saying this curiously also think the idea of race is false."

Excellent again, Dr. Briggs. Speaking truths in a world afraid of acknowledging them.
Here's a great primer for those wondering what the lifestyle is like: https://josephsciambra.com/surviving-gaybarely/

I like John Zmirak’s LGBTQMYNAMEISLEGION.
All of the other letters are just there to legitimate the T and the P. The T is out in the open now but the P is still top secret(pizzaphile?). As Briggs says, sodomy is something that has always been with us. The push to destigmatize it was always a trojan horse to smuggle in the T and the P.
I'm surprised the 'T's haven't axed the 'B's (exposing as it does that there are only 2 genders).
I call it the LGBWHATEVERITISTHISWEEK because they are always adding letters, and even the members of that tribe don't know what the letters past the "T" mean.

Not that long ago.
What changed?
Why not? Prime Minister Castro’s Son does it often.
Are we worthy to survive? I am wondering more every day.

HA HA HA!!!! You win "best headline I have ever seen on substack!" Priceless!!!! 😂 🤣 😁
It is a simple fact that Pride is of the Seven Deadly Sins.
