LBGTQ Pride Over Job Counseling - Really? What's Wrong With These Pictures?

[JBG]

I have posted a screenshot of two adjacent emails in my inbox. The first show an email from my County Board of Legislators celebrating LGTBQ Pride Month. The next, from a nonprofit agency announcing the discontinuance, due to "funding cutbacks" of valuable program of workshops aimed at assisting people who suddenly become unemployed in the 50's or later as they are replaced by "new blood." These people face mainstream problems of loss of the emotional anchor of their daily job, and the need to train to write CV's, use LinkedIn and other job search tools.

I don't "celebrate" the fact that I am heterosexual and work every day. Fringe groups getting funding to "celebrate" what? Something is very badly wrong with society's priorities.

You have never been under assault for being heterosexual. Sack up and control those tear ducts, princess.

and people who don't believe in same sex marriage are facing
discrimination and fines by courts for not participating in such events.

Now that the tables are turned, do you think we can call it even and quit?​

That case was sent back down. It is not decided.

Nobody is under assault for being straight. Some straight people are now under assault for their assault on same-sex couples, which is fine by me.

This is a ridiculous thread. These two emails came from two separate entities with no mention of any connection between them. The county board did not mention withdrawing any funds from the nonprofit to celebrate Pride.

What does Pride Month have to do with a jobs program?
