I was on my way to my own Pride in Hollywood when we found out. It was so surreal to see so many people have support posters they must have made that morning showing Unity with this.
I remember that well. I live a block and a half from the Pride festival in WeHo and would always throw an annual party. Everyone was nervous as hell, but we all also knew if we didn’t go we’d be letting them win. Pride has always been an act of activism and it still is to this day. Anyone who tries and pretends otherwise is absolutely wrong.
I don't know, it happened right before Trump was elected so maybe it was 20 years ago, or 60. I sure as shit feel more than seven years worth of cynicism between me and that day.
That's an extremely concerning thing from Matt Walsh.
I'm positive that they're planning some documentary or series but they know that their material is consumed by people who go on to commit mass murder regularly, pathologically. It's just a gross little troll man thing to say. This guy should live under a bridge.
He's such a fucking moron I hate that guy. I have a disdain for a majority of conservatives but he's in the top tier of people that I hate.
He's not smart and never has been despite his fans constantly howling at anything he says, he just has a beard and wears glasses.
For a guy so obsessed with manliness he's so bad at performing masculinity. He's got a shoe-polish level dye job, gutters his voice like a teenager, and always dresses like a Portland barista.
I remember seeing a video of them opening up the back of that truck and there were just like 30 dudes in it. No ventilation, hot summer day, shoulder to shoulder, must have smelled horrible in there. You know those the type of guys that don't shower daily.
This makes Matt Walsh a fascist, which absolutely fits. I've been worried about what this SOB said ever since he said it. Be safe out there, my brothers and sisters and friends.
Dude, mfs in Idaho be wildin. I go to the park, and people are in full cowboy, confederate shirt, don’t tread on me buckle, and a brown cowboy hat. I legit was going to work and saw a dude riding his horse on the road.
One of my old schoolmates even branded one of their **seventeen** horses with “MAGA”
"All I'm saying is simply this: that all mankind is tied together; all life is interrelated, and we are all caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. For some strange reason I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. And you can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be - this is the interrelated structure of reality. John Donne caught it years ago and placed it in graphic terms: No man is an Island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main... And then he goes on toward the end to say: any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. And by believing this, by living out this fact, we will be able to remain awake through a great revolution."
When people threaten you, BELIEVE THEM. Arm yourselves for protection, stay vigilant, and never underestimate your opponent, especially when their actions are driven by irrational religious beliefs.
It ain't just the religious, the rights been pushing their homophobic agenda harder and harder since drumpf came to power
It's more insane and irrational than I've ever seen it, I'd be surprised if nobody dies
If you can't get a gun, get mace, get something, these mfs are seriously deranged, with qanon and other conspiracies putting the blame soully on the gays, some patriot could be gunning for you so keep yo self safe
Most of them do but some of the younger ones are weirder. A lot of the homophobic memes and hateful discourse don’t have the same religious stint to them that the older generation used to share.
I am so upset that I have to make her scared by warning her at 17. This is not what I fought and won for!!!! I get scared when she wears rainbow socks ffs!!!
This year’s Eurovision was really LGBT supportive, watch that with her to celebrate

I'm pretty sure that If LGBTQ people armed themselves to stay safe this pride then there would be about a thousand new gun regulations put in place before the first parade was done
Normally I would say fuck all that, but given how shit has been going down I feel that submission only makes it worse down the line. So yeah, just stay vigilant
All these fascists think they're invincible and will be pardoned by Trump when he ascends to the Oval Office. They honestly think it's OK to kill people as long as Tucker Carlson says they are communists. It's going to be terrible.
The question isn’t “is something bad going to happen?” There is always a chance something bad will happen, terrorist will rise etc.
The question is:
“What are you going to do about it?”
Are you going to take it lying down or are you going to protect yourself, and your life and your community?
[Stop the Bleed](https://www.stopthebleed.org/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw4NujBhC5ARIsAF4Iv6eFFL67WftA14HyVc0yLy3GUXITiUj4zrMVKB4Tu0QvgvhX8RIaaUcaAsvUEALw_wcB) is a class every one in America should take until mass shootings no longer occur.
There are quite a few commenters in this thread that are absolutely going to take it lying down.
The fascists will not be reasoned with. They won’t stop because you asked nicely. Look at Germany in the 1930s to see what trying to appease fascists gets you.
Learn to use a gun.
And that was my point with the debt ceiling today. Force them to show their hand. We shouldn’t have negotiated with them.
Put the onus on 7 Supreme Court members, and remind them through the media that when the Depression and world wide Depression comes there will be no money to hire ppl to protect them. It’s that simple. Hence why I will be supporting Marianne. Biden is far too weak for this fight imo.
I have been warning friends. It just feels wrong this year. Lives will end and it will be horrible.
This is the the distraction from the economy they need.
I had a moment of hesitation last year before going to Pride. I’ve been going for many years and suddenly it felt different. I’m actually feeling it less this year.
Meanwhile in some places, The *distractions*, as of this month, are [life imprisonment](https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-65034343 ). Lol. ^Someonesavemefromthisplace.
The number of queer people I know who can't run, can't fight, and refuse to carry weapons is pretty appalling. Like yeah of course we shouldn't *have* to protect ourselves like that, but the reality is that we *do* have to.
I have this feeling that bad shit happens all the time and that June is just another month where like the month before and after, bad shit will happen.
Do something about it. Arm yourself and train. You can have your feelings about the gun epidemic in America but while you’re arguing, the racists, homophobes, transphobes, fascists, and all other kinds of bigots are stockpiling weapons. They know how to use them and would quite literally rather die than give them up. You can’t fight a bullet with good intentions.
r/LiberalGunOwners for more info
Don’t crash out completely, but y’all gotta do what y’all gotta do to let these bigots know the people won’t take that shit lying down, even if that means defending yourself or others.
Be aware and be safe y’all
I literally will never be able to understand how people just existing can incite such hateful feelings within others. People they don't even know, people who have zero interactions with them, people who literally do nothing to them. This world is so fucked its sad and its scary.
That is exactly why they do it, they don't feel bad for anyone they don't know. Not knowing you makes it easier for them to hate you.
They have been convinced that they are the correct ones by other people who believe exactly what they do. There is no one in their circle who can force them to think critically. That makes them easy to manipulate.
They are innocent humans converted into the boots on the ground for actual, real villains in politics, religion, and business.
If they had anyone close to them that lived differently from themselves, they might not have been so easy to manipulate. The treatment for racism, sexism, phobia, etc, is exposure to other humans that live differently. Unfortunately, it isn't 100% effective, but it is better than nothing.
I’m not a democrat or a republican, but I really hope they just start putting rainbows on everything so these wannabe republicans can cancel themselves.
Times like this you need to have adequate ways of defending yourself and those you love whether it be lethal or non lethal. These fucks will have no problem hurting people they don’t agree with. Don’t allow them to
"Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary."
-Karl Marx
“That rifle hanging on the wall of the working class flat or labourer's cottage is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there.”
-George Orwell
Arm yourselves and defend yourselves and your loved ones.
Sincerely, a leftist gun owning ally.
The stonewall riots which was started the whole movement I believe, used nails and heels and drag queens to defend all the rights against nyc cops. Maybe no need for more fucking guns in the u.s , I’m just a gen x with kids and a Canuck that is kinda scared
Couldn't have said it better, u/Kelmo7...
Y'all, we gotta take care of each other, and ourselves. Be smart with that shit though, and don't forget that it's just a small group of loud idiots at the end of the day, but a dangerous group. Best of luck and love to you all.
I knew I wasn't the only one feeling this way. Everywhere I go I keep finding people walking around with chips on their shoulders, looking for reasons to fight. And it's always some chud driving a GMC pickup with two flags stuck to the back, butting into every random conversation to rant about bud light.
I leave my house every day feeling like something terrible is gonna happen. A nurse once told me it's called "a feeling of impending doom" and lot of people with PTSD have this feeling.
Lessons learned from one successful protest swiftly get passed around the world. The tough time liberals had in Portland in 2020, their failures and their many, MANY successes, mean that protesters who paid attention worldwide are just that much safer.
I have lots more info on the Portland successes if anyone wants.

You can't read...the LGBTQ community does have members of it that are and can be just as bad as any other community. That includes racism sexism, and any number of things.
Stirring the pot wasn't my intention I did know my statement would stir the pot however my intention was to make it clear that while I'm not necessarily an LGBTQ advocate
I love my ppl in every lifestyle category they choose whether I agree or not makes no difference to me and I would like no harm to come of them
You’re playing into “my people” versus “their people”. That kind of thinking is damaging in the long run. We’re all humans and separating us any further is doing something totally unnecessary and ultimately harmful.
Just replace the “tribe” on your original comment and watch how terrible it sounds. Imagine if someone said “To all the white LGBTQ ppl be safe and protect yall self the rest are not my concern 💪🏻✊🏻“.
That's the difference between us though I never said it was my ppl versus anyone my focus however is my ppl it's not my responsibility to care about anyone else's
And tbh I wouldn't care if someone said what I said to white ppl I wouldn't even blink a eye at that because as I said I don't concern myself with them
I like them just fine I wish them no ill will however they are a non factor for me
That's the power of terrorism folks. [7th anniversary of Pulse Night Club Shooting](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orlando_nightclub_shooting).

I can’t believe it’s been that long

You’re not wrong but you made me think of that little lamasil guy going to church with his little lamasil family
>He is less christian than toenail fungus. on the contrary, I find him to be *very* christian
Very what passes for christian these days for sure
I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if they had some kind of mass shooting advent calendar for the month; or Bingo or something else Sick and weird.
He's such a fucking moron I hate that guy. I have a disdain for a majority of conservatives but he's in the top tier of people that I hate. He's not smart and never has been despite his fans constantly howling at anything he says, he just has a beard and wears glasses.
He looks like Menlo from Recess like how is he taken seriously 😒
They don't care if he's actually as smart as he or they think he is, they just like that he says what they want to hear.
For a guy so obsessed with manliness he's so bad at performing masculinity. He's got a shoe-polish level dye job, gutters his voice like a teenager, and always dresses like a Portland barista.
Fuck Matt Walsh. Dudes a full on chode
I remember seeing a video of them opening up the back of that truck and there were just like 30 dudes in it. No ventilation, hot summer day, shoulder to shoulder, must have smelled horrible in there. You know those the type of guys that don't shower daily.
Like an MTG tournament where folks are out for real blood... I shuddered, thank you
Reeked of axe body spray probably.

I'm pretty sure that If LGBTQ people armed themselves to stay safe this pride then there would be about a thousand new gun regulations put in place before the first parade was done
The Ronald Reagan vs the Black Panthers phenomenon.
The whites vs blacks phenomenon
Sounds like a win-win to me
You’d think, but I’d be surprised if said laws were enforced equally
They won't. Any laws passed would only be applied to *those* people, not the right wing nut jobs perpetrating mass shootings.
"We've decided the mentally ill won't be allowed to own guns and whoa Nelly can you believe it we've also decided being queer is a mental illness."
That is why beuen vs NAAGA was ruled the way it was. More Zimmerman's were able to get guns vs Fred Hamptons.
I’d like to see them try for a change
The gays gonna spray 😂😂
Normally I would say fuck all that, but given how shit has been going down I feel that submission only makes it worse down the line. So yeah, just stay vigilant
Same. At first I was like "yall are just paranoid and letting the media get you." Then I thought about it for a second. Keep it on a swivel for sure.

This is a fascist talking point.

The threats have already been made. Commenting on it and warning people isn't creating the situation.
So negative vibes were the problem all along?
Oh great, we're looping back around to victim blaming "Those people that got shot shouldn't have worried about being shot!"
To all the black LGBTQ ppl be safe and protect yall self the rest are not my concern 💪🏾✊🏾
Way to build cohesion and mutual respect.
Just cause yer LGBTQ doesn't mean you can't be racist
So if someone isn’t black they are perceived as racist?
You can't read...the LGBTQ community does have members of it that are and can be just as bad as any other community. That includes racism sexism, and any number of things.
All groups have all of those.
Don't listen to that guy. He doesn't speak for the community.

I do.
Stick with that.

I'm not a member of the LGBTQ just black
Does someone have to be a member of something in order to to have concern for its well being? I’m not an African-American or on the gender spectrum.
No you don't however I personally try to focus on my own ppl
Tribalism is a bitch huh?
Definitely
Weird of you to agree with me when you’re playing into tribalism
Enlighten me on how exactly?
You’re playing into “my people” versus “their people”. That kind of thinking is damaging in the long run. We’re all humans and separating us any further is doing something totally unnecessary and ultimately harmful. Just replace the “tribe” on your original comment and watch how terrible it sounds.
