LGBT News Piers Morgan YT Video 'Straight Pride Flag'

Oh for f***'s sake.

Piers Morgan is a professional controversialist who will say anything to get clicks on his pathetic Youtube channel after his last show on TV (On TalkTV) ended. Don't encourage him. He's a troll and should not be fed.

I can't stand Piers Morgan. He's definitely someone who just likes being intentionally controversial.

In principle I don't have a problem with people showing pride in their sexuality, whether it is gay or straight or anything else. But personally I don't feel any. But pride has always struck me as being a bad choice of words, because isn't it simply acceptance that those who don't fit comfortably into society's pre-defined gender roles are looking for? I'm not proud to be bisexual any more than I am proud of being a woman or proud of bring British or being white. They are all just the hand I was dealt. I am proud of my achievements.

 

I found the video, your link didn't work:



Yet to form an opinion on Blaire White, she seems quite interesting. I only watched the first 12 minutes.

 

i watched to the ~20 mark.

i think the discussion (debate?) is about social evolution. To me there seems to be a factor in human nature that resists change, evolution. i've wondered if that resistance is related to a base sense/emotion of security, that change is perceived as insecurity? It also seems to me that ethnocentricity is a grouping of egocentricity with commonalities... strength in numbers, again: "security." i do think that sense of security emotion seems to covet, is an illusion. That life and change are reality, static is a form of death? It takes energy to live, to constantly look and listen and see what or who is vs labeling, grouping and responding to an idea or conclusion about a person instead of the actual present person before us.

Both ego and ethno 'centricity' strike me as a sign of immaturity. i define maturity, in part, as the ability and effort to recognize, acknowledge, even affirm someone outside my self, or put opposite, immaturity is self centeredness:

By my measure, "I Want..." without regard to others, is ego/ethno centric, is immature. Huge pieces of society are built on ethnocentric culture that has become 'the norm,' and even the term "normal" has general acceptance as a positive standard of what 'should be.' The opposite of normal is is "abnormal" (or even more inflammatory terms like "deviant" or "insane.").

i think society is best served by balance, but i think the evolutionary process often involves pendulum swings that go way outside the balanced center, gradually losing momentum and (hopefully?) coming to rest somewhere in the middle, taking both sides into account? Of course, it's never that simple, because there's far more that two sides usually.

To me, gay "pride" is a pendulum swing, the opposite being gay shame. i don't relate to either, but i understand the 'proud' response in the face of shaming. i don't see either as a productive constant state of being though.

 

What have straight people had to fight for to need a pride month ?
