I’m sorry but when I read “pride month is defeated” in the context of a heterosexual engagement my mind immediately assumes the dude is a closeted homosexual who chose her as his beard instead of coming out. And this is how he “defeated pride”. By choosing a heteronormative lifestyle over his actual preferences.
The most optimistic scenario my head can come up with to make the sentence make sense would be that she’s bisexual and because of him she chose to commit to a heteronormative relationship.
In any way, for a lack of a better term, putting your engagement in context of defeating pride makes you look quite gay.
I think the same about anyone who fears LGBT+ trying to convert their kids like they believe someone can be convinced to be gay rather than just convinced to accept their sexuality.
Like I don’t see any problem with being gay but it’s not for me. I sometimes think dating would be easier if I was bi, but it’s about as appealing as knowing it would be easier to fill my stomach if I ate sawdust.
So it’s very telling when someone talks about gays tempting them or that they worry about a gay agenda of turning everyone gay like it’s a realistic possibility.
Those who hate homosexuals and see them as the “other side” often believe that homosexuals view heterosexuals with the same malice.
Gay people know they’re not the norm, and don’t feel threatened by straight folk unless. They feel threatened by bigots.
Yeah either of those scenarios makes me think one of them is eventually turning back to gay sex. Sure bisexuals can have lifelong monogamous relationships with people of a different gender and they often do it happily, but how happily do they tend to do it with people bragging about how they defeated their partner’s queerness?
Yeah I seriously I was about to say, as a pansexual, this guy is triggering every sensor on my gaydar, big time. He’d be a lot happier if he would just embrace who he is.
The most optimistic scenario my head can come up with to make the sentence make sense would be that she’s bisexual and because of him she chose to commit to a heteronormative relationship.
If that was the case she should be pissed that this was his reflection
She should be pissed in any scenario. You propose to your partner, you post a photo, and then you put ANYTHING other than I LOVE MY FIANCEE in your post? That sucks, dude.
Unless your fiancee is also a homophobic bigot as a central component to her personality, then she’s probably OK with it.
I don’t understand why anyone would want to tie an engagement to their politics. Politics was literally not even a thought when I got engaged. That man has got issues!
Apparently he’s an ex-Newsmax anchor. It explains everything. https://www.thedailybeast.com/ex-newsmax-star-addison-smith-mocked-for-making-his-wedding-proposal-about-hating-gay-people
Sometimes I try to visualize smug, snarky comments like this if it were about something I believe in. Like, if there were a mixed race proposal and it said “Racism is so defeated,” would that be any better?
No, it’s cringy as hell. Makes the proposal seem like it’s about some agenda rather than loving the person.
Yeah I just wonder who this is for. A flex to his church friends or what ?
His name has TV in it, so I assume he’s just completely dedicated his life to making neo-nazi ragebait
The gentleman doth protest too much, methinks
With how much time these “macho” conservatives spend thinking about gay people, even when marrying their own wives, it sure does seem like they’re hiding something
Maybe all the macho conservatives need to get gay married to each other to prove that they hate it and aren’t gay. It’s the only way to be sure.
“Think about it guys… If we just grab ALL the dicks, and then hide them inside our bodies, they’ll be NONE left for the gay people!!! Ultimate straight win 2024!!!”
You know, I always thought this “gay agenda” thing was ridiculous. They only want equal rights and “be left alone” essentially, right?
But seeing this, they actually seem to successfully infiltrate the conservative mind… so maybe there is something to it? O_oGay sex is on those conservative minds every month. Probably most minutes as well.
Me too to be fair
Damn, you must be famous then if all the conservatives know you.
As long as you aren’t working to oppress LGBT+ folks while you’re thinking about it, we’re cool.
I’m sorry if I’m spilling the beans here but: Gay agenda = be happy
😵💫 YOU ARE HELPLESS TO RESIST A GAY OLD TIME 😵💫
Oh god, please, no! Everything but that!
If people are happy, who will make our memes???
Yeah I don’t object to people being happy in their own homes, but why to they have to force it down our throats ?
Oh no, did you see two men holding hands?
how horrible
Looks like this one needs a /s tag.
Optimistically.
An actual homophobe is unlikely to use a term like “being happy” here.
Good point.
I am so confused. Did he think he had to marry a man because it’s pride month? I can’t ever wrap my mind around people who think letting others love who they want to somehow reduces their own freedom to love who they want to.
Congratulations, I guess. May your children be many, and gay.
I assume it’s projection. He loses his shit when he’s reminded of the existence of gay people, so he assumes everyone else must be the same as him, just with the teams swapped.
But why does he lose his shit over it? There must’ve been an amazing guy in his life at some point he’s still not over
I wouldn’t wish that on the children.
Yeah, many siblings equals many trouble.
It’s probably safe to say that those parents (at least the father) equals many trouble
Don’t boast about “defeating pride” in your engagement photo unless you had to wrestle lions to get her to say yes.
Gay people, please keep being who you are. While I was never naturally inclined to fear or hate the LGBTQ+ crowd, getting to know many of them as coworkers and friends helped me to truly understand them. And unlike people who would post hate speech on social media to politicize their own wedding I have never met LGBTQ+ people that cared I was white, male, or straight.
Why would I care if straight people got engaged in June? It’s a lovely time to get engaged.
Pride month can’t get canceled, it’s like Labor Day, if you let it be ceremonial it will, and if you don’t we won’t.
Pack it all up. The party’s over. Addison just proposed to his girlfriend. How will we ever survive this? Might as well just cancel gayness. Sigh.
Wrapping your celebration up in hatred. Classy.
This is the dumbest comeback I’ve seen
I don’t think I’ve met anyone who would attend pride that would have any issue with him getting engaged to this girl.
They’d probably cheer.
Pride isn’t about gays as much as people think, yes, a lot of the LGBTQ+ folks show up with their gender and sexual preferences basically hanging out in the open for all to see, and that’s the point. Everyone I’ve talked to is all about being proud of who you are. Straight, gay, bi, lesbian, trans, queer, whatever. Be you. Pride is more about being who you are without prejudice, not some anti straight LGBTQ+ rave.
This guy could have proposed in the middle of the main stage at pride and gotten cheers from people.
Sir, your proposal didn’t defeat shit. Good luck in your future.
Eh, it’s more that pride is a rejection of the shame we’ve been taught to feel. But then you get into the fact that we aren’t telling straight people to be ashamed, we’re telling bigots that if anyone should be ashamed it’s them
What’s funny is that she kind looks like a twink, at least from the photo, except for the hand. He searched & searched for a female woman, but he really wanted a male woman.
Anyone know if this is real?

Unless Elmo’s added yet another layer of enshittification. It’s hard to keep up.
I won’t X because of their leader Mollusk.
