RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
- Keep it clean and SFW

if you refer to it as 'gay pride month' you are leaving behind the many queer people who celebrate pride and aren't gay. Most folks just call it pride now to be inclusive.
According to ddg search results, "gay pride" is actually more common than just "pride" where I live.
i'm telling you as a gay queer person that you've got it a bit old fashioned. like referring to Ukraine as The Ukraine. you can take it or leave it :)

This is a consequence of the globalization of the English language.
strikes me as more of simple stubbornness to be honest
