What has the UK become?

I think that their initial issue, that one day compared to one month, is disproportionate. Don't you?
I think a month is completely mad to be honest. It lessens the impact.

My maximum uninterrupted stretch in Ibiza was three days. It was intense.

A one month celebration is absurd.

It’s a month of events that everyone is at liberty to totally ignore and most people wouldn’t even notice it happening if they weren’t interested. Comparing it to a somber day when the head of state and other dignitaries pay their respects along with attendees at commemorations up and down the country was clearly just to provide a shit excuse for being homophobic.

It’s also an international festival.

With d-day we are paying our respects and I suppose in a small way celebrating a military victory. Pride and black history month are not only a celebration, but also for our society at large an act of atonement for milenia of normalised/institutionalised homophobia and racism. A month is the least we can do to repent for slavery and the persecution of LGBTQ community - really it should be a year round festival of contrition, and even then it wouldn't be enough.

I have seldom seen something so historically inaccurate.

Agreed. We need to gain a sense of perspective here and acknowledge centuries of struggle ahead of a few hard years in the 1940s
