Did anyone else go to the absolutely MASSIVE Gay Pride Day in Amsterdam this weekend?

I was there on Saturday it is so epic to see an ENTIRE city celebrating a group that just a few decades ago were oppressed, beaten, and outlawed. The world has come so far with acceptance of others that it is really refreshing to see.

I hope everyone who celebrated had an epic time!

@freemo Sounds cool! Now we just need the same for the other oppressed minorities to hopefully give them better representation in a fun, easily palatable celebration...

JewFest?
Blacktacular?
Transfiesta '18?
Queer Quora?
(Inter)sex in the city?
Islamapride?
Bike for being bi?
Celeb(r)ate?

I'm joking, but only just. All these people could use a bit less being bashed and a bit more celebration of their uniqueness...

@Blort lol. I wouldnt have an issue if you had a celebratory day for every group. Throw in whites and straights too, everyone should be recognized.

@freemo

Sure. While not exactly oppressed minorities, I'm all for everyone getting their 15 minutes in the sun... Whitemas? Straight pride? I just have a sinking feeling these would devolve into rallies for neo Nazis and religious fundamentalists. 🙄

Damnit Neo Nazis! I just want to have some fun celebrating my pasty pale complexion with everyone else! Why do you have to turn my special day into something so un-fun? 😾
