    Having a Pride month doesn't really bother me. What does is all of the virtue signaling from apparently non-LGBTQ+ persons that accompanies it. It is almost like they are tying to make it about them rather than the people that the occassion is designated for?

    So, you mean people like Poindexter and NuSkooler, right?

    I agree again.

    Not really. Their reactions are pretty tame compared to what I am thinking of. The ones I am thinking of are more like "acknowledge this (and notice me in the process) or else!" and might declare you phobic if you don't acknowledge them specifically, or of you react oddly to their constant messaging, even though they are apparently not LGBTQ+.

    If I drew a diagram of the people who act like this, and the mostly-women I mentioned previously who overshare about their sex lives on social media, the two circles would have a large overlap area. I don't think either of the circles would include any BBSers I am familiar with. ;)

    Ahhh OK, I understand now; was thinking you meant something else.

    mostly-women I mentioned previously who overshare about their sex lives

    Gotcha, thanks.

    Straight or not straight, I think most keep it simple. You don't want to
    gross people out.

    Most people would feel the same way but apparently those who overshare on social media do not. <insert vomit face here> ;)
