I’m kinda neutral. Being bi is great but I hate having to hide it

      And using that quote means that this mean tweet is more of an injustice than your situation. Do you see my frustration in pride now?

        I am in a country facing life and death for my biology. I am also cheering on people in privileged countries like yours who want to have over-the-top pride parades because it is something I hope my country can experience someday (minus the rainbow capitalism). So no I really do not understand the POV of someone who has something amazing that I wish I could have and hates it.

          Because you deserve it more.

          But we’re not doing anything to help you. We’re just rallying up and down the street with our rainbow banners and corporate sponsorships, not giving a flying fuck about the rest of the world’s pride.

            Love and pride are not limited resources. I would say grassroots pride celebration are big and bold because other places won’t allow of them. It’s celebrating the freedom to express yourself and love who you love openly. One celebration isn’t taking away from the lack of another, if anything it’s bringing attention to the queer community and how important the right to existence is. Of course it would be ideal for all the corporate overlords to put the money they spend on pride marketing into political action in the countries lacking queer rights but that’s not an option we have. It’s not like pride is a limited currency we are spending on ourselves and keeping from our oppressed lgbtqa+ community.
