    It’s all just marketing.

    But it’s good things aren’t being aggressively pushed down our throats all the time.

      Oh no. A period of time where you might have to see things that acknowledge that people exist that aren’t exactly like you. How sad for you.

        I already know they exist I see them all the time.

        Also plenty of people exist it doesn’t mean they all have awful marketing that gets aggressively pushed on people.

        I didn’t say that. This is about marketing not about people sad you think they are one and the same.

          Oh honey, no. This is not a good hill to die on.

          Maybe be more upset by people shoving ads in your face, and less upset by rainbows.

          I don’t think marketing is the right term here. It’s more like the everything is in US flag design around 4th July or country flag design of wherever you are from around popular sport events. There is an increased ask for group identification symbols, so there are companies selling them. Very simple ask and offer. It’s not like the LGBTQIA+ community is organized like a company with a head of marketing closing deals with stores like Target to sell their “merch”.

      “Pushed down your throat”?

      What, exactly, is being pushed down your throat? A rainbow?

      Oh it must be homosexuality if not the literal visible light color spectrum.

      Please, I am dying to know, what is your problem with the existence of LGBT folks? What exactly are they shoving down your throat? Being queer is objectively not a choice so I’m not sure what they’re shoving down your throat?

      Are you aware what the purpose of a “store” is?

      The way you word your comment suggests you are trying to have a rational and reasonable conversation. I’m dying of curiosity.

      I haven’t seen pride merch in a store in literal years, yet every time I walk outside there are Christ cultists trying to convert me to their manic delusions.
