Quit making big deal

K, we get it. They are gay, but do they need a week to celebrate it? When is Straight Pride Week, by the way?

I'm not homophobic. I just think if gay people want acceptance, quit shoving it down our throats. This world we live in is getting absolutely stupid, already.

Dear (Name withheld),

You obviously do not understand WHY we celebrate PRIDE week and WHY we march in a parade. We do this because we can -- there are those in other countries that still cannot even be "caught" being themselves, that is being Gay or Lesbian. In some countries, we are executed just for being born that way...

As far as a Straight Pride week - all you have to do is organize one, so... get off your ass and do something that makes a difference in the world rather than complaining about "shoving it down our throats".

Yours sincerely,

The Wizard


PRIDE
