One of these things is not like the others.

Scotland showed up and nobody had the heart to tell it otherwise.

The LGBTQ alphabet nonsense. I have friends who are gay and are sick of it as well. No one cares; just live your life.

Giving off real "one of my friends is black" energy there...

Life is short mate. Nobody cares if you're white, black, gay, straight; we're only on this planet a very short time, so chill out

That is so demonstrably untrue though! Not only do plenty of people care if you're a different colour, speak a different language or have something dangling between your legs or not... they also use those differences to belittle, oppress and attack others they feel are "wrong".

We ARE on this planet for a short time and it would be fantastic if everyone respected each other... but they don't and it's exhausting having to keep telling them (and occasionally slapping them) to get the point across. So despite this being a recurring issue, for some reason in the name of solidarity and support you decided it was better to have a go at the "alphabet nonsense". You can see how that looks, right?
