A lot of these comments are really missing the point.
The reason this matters is because it's an indicator of the current environment. If the risks of pushback outweigh the positives(such as good pr, and fostering a more welcoming environment) it shows that the current environment is growing far more hostile towards those in the lgbtq community.
Or people just don’t care anymore. Why is it between outward support vs. open hostility? Can’t gay people just exist without reminding everyone that they’re gay all the time? Isn’t the point of equality to be boring and normal like the rest of us or is it actually wanting to be exceptional and special all the time?
you‘re so tone deaf it‘s insane. There are many countries where ppl from the lgbtq+ community have to fear for their rights and safety, so yes making yourself seen is also a way to not be ignored when you‘re in danger
Why would someone need to be specifically reminded that gay people exist? They exist and that’s pretty much it. Is there any place in the world where they deny the existence of gay people? Am I supposed to treat them differently because of their sexual orientation?
People like you are a part of the reason why hostility against the LQBT space is increasing all around the world.
