If the one good thing that comes out of the Saudi money is the end of performative virtue signalling "pride month" crap, then it will all be worth it. Who decided that gays get a month, but parents get a day each? Most countries celebrate their founding or independence on one day. Almost every celebration is one day. The most culturally important, like Easter, are a little longer. If we had Pride Day it would be tolerable. An entire month is a joke.

I have no idea what that means, nor any idea why you and "Hunter" think you are contributing anything of value to the world with your pointless and stupid comments.

What other than homosexuality gets celebrated for an entire month? Is it the most important thing in the world? Why does it get the biggest celebration, then?

When a streamer like Charlie has greater moral strength than one of the largest esports organizations in the world, it's really saddening

i love the TL response basically admitting the possibility and you pointing it out just shines a light on it and makes the employee feel uncomfortable knowing that the org would exchange their freedom for some money

TL acting like homophobia is like Bloody Mary, it can only hurt gay people if you say it three times when looking into a mirror

Hey Rich, just wanted to let you know that the Riot Pride article that you've linked from their website seems to be from 2023.

This is their 2024 Pride article: https://www.riotgames.com/en/news/riot-pride-2024
