I hate pride month (I'm not anti gay just read it)

From my personal experience, I probably agree with you on most of those things. Firstly, paedophilia and such in the LGBTQ community is totally, and utterly unacceptable. You are absolutely right in the fact that taking advantage of something that cannot consent is not pride. I will however respectfully disagree that a pride month is not needed. Pride month is almost like black history month, a time to be aware of injustices against the LGBTQ community. Here at home in the western world, but also overseas in the middle east. There is still injustice and oppression, at home and abroad, and pride month is a good way to raise awareness. It annoys me to see a culture of anti-pride, especially among young people. However, your point of integration and treating LGBTQ peoples as normal is totally right, and beneficial.

On a side note, I have a gripe against the fact that there are so many pride flags, what happened to the 6 (or 8) color rainbow representing all genders, sexualities (or lack thereof), and so on? The fact there is one for having an interest in multiple people at once is just ridiculous.
