    Think you'd have a different opinion if they stopped you going about your daily business.

    I'm white and I don't feel the need to go shouting my mouth off about it to a bunch of black people
    I'm straight and I don't feel the need to go shouting my mouth off about it to gay people
    I eat meat and I don't feel the need to go shouting my mouth off about it to vegans
    I'm a geordie and I don't feel......nah **** that.

    My point being, there is no such thing as normal so who's to say what's normal or not in terms of someone's DNA. Why do they feel to need to cause mass disruption and hype rubbing it into peoples faces? Millions of us will have known this event was on yet all that seems to have come out of it is a bunch of videos and meme's which only serve to stereotype the kinds of people who were in attendance, clearly that's not the case at all but they haven't done a lot to change people's perception I don't think. I'm sure some of these people are genuinely nice people, and one of my friends who works for the NHS was actually at the event (if you can call it that). He's a pretty normal guy (by my reckoning of what's normal) and not one of them unwashed dreadlocked hippy looking ****ers mincing about like they're on the ****ing moon.

    There's ways of trying to get your point across and then there's taking things way too far, every time it's the latter.

    the tree huggers have lost all public support imho. Even the virtue signalling celebs are starting to distance themselves.

    I get what you are saying but its not as simple as that.
    From a personal point of view I don't care about somebodies ethnicity, sexuality, gender or disabilities, I will judge the person as a person.

    As an able bodied, middled aged heterosexual white male I can moan about people waving their flags "when is international men's day?" "What about straight pride?" but the reality is they are still persecuted and I'm not. I think its getting much much better but people are still getting judged on the colour of their skin and their sexual preference. If that wasn't happening, and as I say I think its getting less, then they wouldn't need to fly their flags.
