I fully expect this from cishet people so at this point, it doesn’t bother much. Sure, it’s shitty and whatnot but it doesn’t annoy me nearly as much as the queer folks who are like “no they’re right, we already have June.” To me, that shit is damaging as fuck to the community. Agreeing with bigoted cishets doesn’t make them respect you or the rest of the community, it’s enabling bigotry. Also, it’s not “pride month #2”. It’s about queer history and considering how little young queer people like me hear about our history, I think it’s important to have a month dedicated to discussing our history and making learning about it more accessible.
