Every year

 Of all the things that are predictable every June (it's too hot, it's too cold, people need an extra ticket for a high school graduation, there are kids playing outside, "there are kids playing outside and they should be in school!") one of the most nonsensical is the animosity directed at Pride Month.

Every year! I don't know if it's the same people every year, but it's always the same complaints! "How come they get a whole month to celebrate? I was in the (Army, Navy,  Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard) and we don't get a whole month!"

Or "Turn your back on sin and repent, lest ye be condemned to a fiery hell!"

And the usual chorus of homophobia. 

It goes on and on and on, but why? 

Please tell me what difference it makes in your life if two people are in love. The older I get (and I'm getting older every day, same as you) the less I care about who does what with whom, as long as they don't wake me up, set fire to my house, or steal my money.

It happens every year, and I keep hoping that people will grow up and find something else about which to natter on. It won't happen, but we can hope!
