i; <br />I heard <br />&V <br />ment.* Like <br />0 most Droaressive liberalissues the expectations continue to <br />o- <br />°e- <br />this recently, loosely copying the senii <br />increase. The expecta <br />tions have gone from: <br />1. Tolerance (1970s - 1980s) <br />2. acceptance (1990-2000) <br />3. celebration (recently) <br />4. and now.. participation. <br />Meaning*. If you aren't actively participating in pride month <br />you aren't doing enough. We see it in corporate America, <br />schools government.. All the institutions. <br />Just like the fact that Kramer didn't want to wear the "AIDS" <br />pin while he did join in the march (see the Seinfeld episode, <br />it predicted and mocked where we were headed). <br />Some people don't want to be forced to comply with <br />anything. The pride movement is not "live and let live" it <br />evolved into " wear the pin, or post your black square on <br />Facebook or you are a homophobe and a racist!" It's no <br />longer enough to accept and support the safety and <br />comfort ot a group ot marginalized people with ditterent <br />gender or sexual ideas.. you must wear the pin, March in the <br />March, take your child to drag queen story hour, trans your <br />son and put him on hormone blockers if he plays with a <br />Barbie.,.don't be a bigot! <br />We are tolerant country full of many individuals who just <br />won't be coerced based on our instincts and personal <br />principles. <br />< O I01 <br />
