>I’m sure you’re the most enthusiastic, hardworking activist for gay rights. I’d love to know what you’ve personally done to further equality on this planet that allows you to look down on everybody that publicly shows their support.

Getting into numerous fist fights over my life to defend queer people from attackers.

>How’s this any different from hanging a pride flag outside of your house?

That's also a meaningless platitude.

>There are so many interviews or clips of LGBTQ members explaining how it feels to see someone publicly supporting them

There are so many conversations I've had with gay people who express the opinion that meaningless platitudes don't help them at all.

>You’ve clearly never felt like you didn’t belong in a community that didn’t accept you before,

Lmao dude quit while you're ahead you have no fucking idea what you're talking about and you're making yourself look like a huge ass.

You know what's privileged? Putting up a decoration and thinking it's a bold stance. Bet you wouldn't be so keen on flying those flags if you lived someone it would make you and your home a target for violence.

Performative gestures like this don't actually support gay people. They support the profit of the type of cynical people you're currently denouncing.

If spending money on a trinket makes you feel good about yourself, that's fine. But don't pretend you're doing anything other than letting yourself ignore real problems for the opiate of imaginary solutions.

Famously averse to profiting at any moral cost Football associations....

>How do you think you raise awareness?

The point is that everyone is aware of this issue. The people being oppressive aren't doing it because tHeY jUsT DoNt UndERsTaNd. They hate queer people because they're hateful.

>And you can’t seriously be suggesting having a conversation with every single bigoted person you meet instead.

No I'm suggesting bullying and belittling them so they understand people won't tolerate their behaviour anymore.

Do you think that buying rainbow merch from a corporation is "showing support"?

Do you think that owning a product somehow raises awarenenss?

Do you think that some people aren't aware of gay people and that it's awarenenss that needs to be raised?

Buddy it's far more effective to not wear your scause and have a conversation with people when you hear them express views that aren't rooted in thought.
