AITA for not wanting to go to a pride parade with my parents? My dad loves parades in general and loves pride parades, but I don’t want to go with him this year. I wanted to go with friends but they can’t make it. I’m pretending to have cramps to not go

Why don’t you want to go? Sounds like you only do it to be social instead of actually supporting LGBT+ persons. Do you have a bad relationship with your parents?

…I am queer myself. I would rather not spend the parade with my parents and not have as much fun as I could with my friends. My relationship with my parents is fine, but I would rather support and celebrate my community with my queer friends who I can actually have fun with instead of my parents where I have to tamp down my fun.

Context like that helps lol Definitely understandable tho, if your friends can’t go is there something else y’all can do to still spend that time together? Cramps is a great excuse tho tbf

This is like a Reddit post where a little extra context makes it make a lot more sense. I got more info and i changed my view of op immediately. Opinions can change when additional info is revealed 🤯

Reading the original post and making the comment that you made is incredibly strange, no matter what came after

That’s not socially awkward, it’s you being a dick and now trying to backpedal

I’m not backpedaling lol. Maybe I came off as a dick but my life experiences have shaped me to immediately try to defend lgbt+ societies and spaces and as soon as I saw that was unneeded I switched gears. I don’t sit and think of the most eloquent way to say things at all times because I’m human. Ur more pressed about this than I was to start.
