Ten Offensive Behaviors To Avoid During Pride Month

Pride gets one month a year for recognition, but everyone knows it should really last all summer.  The following list includes insensitive actions that may trigger those individuals who support Pride Month.  Educate yourself and let the spirit of pride convict you of your poor thoughts and behaviors.

1. Refuse to shop at Target.

• Let the little children go to them.

2. Like a Matt Walsh post.

• Only a bigot would want to define a gender.

3. Ignore a family-friendly drag parade.

• I dare you to find something offensive about naked forty-year olds riding bicycles.  It’s beautiful.

4. Fly an American flag instead of a trans-inclusive one.

• America was founded on gender identity.  Do your homework, you dinosaur!

5. Misgender a coworker.

• How did you not know that paunchy Stan with the mustache is a lovely woman?

6. Deadname your cousin in the family reunion group chat.

• Lily no longer exists.  His name is Randy.

7. Visit the Ark Encounter.

• They have no right to take back the rainbow.

8. Offer genuine smiles.

• Being one’s authentic self requires constant anguish and distorted facial muscles.

9. Cancel Disney+.

• You would deprive your children the pleasure of watching same-sex attraction and nonbinary characters?  You should not even be allowed to parent them. 

10. Dress in monochromatic colors.

• What’s the matter?  Afraid someone will think you are gay?

Now you are all set to avoid the ten offensive behaviors listed above.  Remember, the LGBTQ&* community is extremely oppressed and receives virtually no recognition.  You owe it to them to not be offensive.  Do better.
