I mean, at this point St. Patrick’s Day is barely about the Irish, Christmas is barely about Jesus and Halloween isn’t about the dead at all, if Pride becomes a whole month on the civic festival calendar where we get drunk and try to scandalize the public with our sexuality while Chase Bank runs a street fair selling rainbow churros like, okay?

And you can’t even respond that Christmas and Halloween don’t last a whole month. Because they last two.

This logic would also imply that ‘Pride’ as a concept will eventually loop back around to pride in one’s heterosexuality.

I mentioned before that time earlier this year I saw the oh-so-NOW zoomer trends of

1. Understanding life’s major narrative arc as finding your identity group, banding together, fighting for and achieving legitimacy through recognition, and
2. Being weird and mechanical at trying to use what were designed as disciplinary mechanisms around sex as some actual ethic

Collide with some kid going in on “Minor-Attracted Person” pride cause he had turned 18 but his girlfriend was still a year younger
