i understand it might look like the pro-gay subject remember is a splash outspoken notwithstanding that is in simple terms an uncomplicated day in simple terms like a number of different day. you won't want to take heed to it notwithstanding that is an argument that ought to be addressed. there are a number of lgbtq human beings available and that they want us. that is ok to be gay.

Here is some reading material for you on this day:

August 1996 Press Release
WASHINGTON -- Psychoanalytic theory holds that homophobia -- the fear, anxiety, anger, discomfort and aversion that some ostensibly heterosexual people hold for gay individuals -- is the result of repressed homosexual urges that the person is either unaware of or denies. A study appearing in the August 1996 issue of the Journal of Abnormal Psychology, published by the American Psychological Association (APA), provides new empirical evidence that is consistent with that theory.
Researchers at the University of Georgia conducted an experiment involving 35 homophobic men and 29 nonhomophobic men as measured by the Index of Homophobia scale. All the participants selected for the study described themselves as exclusively heterosexual both in terms of sexual arousal and experience.
Each participant was exposed to sexually explicit erotic stimuli consisting of heterosexual, male homosexual and lesbian videotapes (but not necessarily in that order). Their degree of sexual arousal was measured by penile plethysmography, which precisely measures and records male tumescence.
Men in both groups were aroused by about the same degree by the video depicting heterosexual sexual behavior and by the video showing two women engaged in sexual behavior. The only significant difference in degree of arousal between the two groups occurred when they viewed the video depicting male homosexual sex: 'The homophobic men showed a significant increase in penile circumference to the male homosexual video, but the control [nonhomophobic] men did not.'
Broken down further, the measurements showed that while 66% of the nonhomophobic group showed no significant tumescence while watching the male homosexual video, only 20% of the homophobic men showed little or no evidence of arousal. Similarly, while 24% of the nonhomophobic men showed definite tumescence while watching the homosexual video, 54% of the homophobic men did.
When asked to give their own subjective assessment of the degree to which they were aroused by watching each of the three videos, men in both groups gave answers that tracked fairly closely with the results of the objective physiological measurement, with one exception: the homophobic men significantly underestimated their degree of arousal by the male homosexual video.

Not too much, at my school the first thing they did was hand me a flyer for it. Idk, life is weird like that. It's better than gay silence day, which means you have to be silent for a day if you want to support gay and lesbian's hardships... Our choir teacher was so annoyed about it. What can I say, gay pride is a very widespread thing. Rainbows are cute. Didn't see anyone come out though.

you need to go in.....a barber shop if you loook like your little cartoon, and come out looking like a normal 21st Century man.
MAYBE the better idea for you, too, is a frontal lobotomy, and you'll get the haircut for free.
