:
I wouldn’t mind a company deciding to celebrate a portion of its employees by holding religion-related celebrations, and thousands of companies around the country do exactly that. From paid holidays to parties to decorations, we already see exactly that everywhere. If a church service benefits their employees and/or their brand, I hope a company would.

Now, I pose the converse to you: would you be as upset about Christmas being “forced upon you” as you are about pride celebrations if your company celebrated it?

What if it were a bikini debut? Or a chippendale revue?


See... none of this is appropriate.

Neither of those celebrate historically (and presently) marginalized groups. Further, drag shows aren’t about the sexual gratification of the audience, unlike those examples

This is true. I once had a passenger shove one in my face and said, "This offends me!" "Don't read it," was my response.

Its a little tougher to ignore the United marketing ploy in a public venue where, at the very least, children are liable to be exposed to it. I don't think any of us are prepared to explain drag queens to 4 to 6 year old kids.

Indeed. I suspect is was a previous user who was banned but I can’t remember the username. The posts are a mirror image of the lies, name calling, and personal attacks OOfff makes.

Link to any single lie, instance of name-calling, or personal attack I’ve made here?

Inclusivity means allowing people to be who they are without interference or negativity from others. We’ve been over this in the negative/positive comments above

Your opinions don’t matter.

See how this works?

Of course they don’t. Why should my opinion over a pride celebration mean anything? It’s not for me, and it’s not hurting me.
