A month-long celebration of sexual orientation is counterproductive and unnecessary.

“this kind of enforced celebration of sexual preferences is I think becoming a little bit counterproductive”

Pride month is necessary to provide representation and protection for the LGBTQ+ community in a society that often marginalizes them.

“it's not really about sexuality it's about allowing people who are like myself who don't feel like they're being represented or being protected in a world in society where people like Riley gets a platform to spew misinformation”

Pride month is a necessary response to ongoing prejudice and a lack of societal understanding of LGBTQ+ issues.

“the reason why is because it's people like you who don't understand why we really have it”
