i feel like we have to say this EVERY pride month which is sad but so many of you completely miss the point of pride

pride is not about being inclusive of every sexuality under the sun. its not about demanding lgbt people be loving and accepting of everyone. pride month represents the fight lgbt people have made and the long, long road we’ve come. it represents all the blood, sweat, and tears it took to be treated like human beings. it represents all the struggles we still face and hope to overcome.

so before you send hate to an lgbt person who said demisexuality wasn’t #valid or whatever the fuck yall are doing nowadays, and accuse them of not knowing what pride month is about, get off of tumblr and learn about lgbt history and the history behind pride month
