I'm sure you feel the same way about Black History Month. Not a holiday. But I'd be willing to bet you'd prefer to invalidate the holiday of Juneteenth.

haha dude, have you been to a Pride festival before? Recognition and support? WTF... this isnt 1950.

Now that I think about it, maybe you're right. Veterans who are spit at and denigrated are not oppressed in any way shape or form. But showing respect and celebrating Pride Month wearing assless leather chaps in a parade, THATS oppression! Lets all have a moment of silence for the drag queens out there. Performing tricks in stilettos, THATS oppression!
