Anti-LGBTQ+ users of the microblogging social platform X are arguing that Pride Month in June should be replaced with a month honoring U.S. military veterans. But in responding favorably to this idea, most of the platforms supportive commenters revealed that they care far more about antagonizing LGBTQ+ people than about honoring veterans.Most of the resulting commenters also seem unaware that November is already designated asNational Veterans and Military Families Month, since it includes Veterans Day (which occurred on November 11 this year). May is also designated as National Military Appreciation Month. Related Conservatives are so envious of Pride Month that they introduced a bill for Natural Family Month The queerphobic discussion began on X when the account @MAGAVoice asked users (in a now-deleted post), Would you support abolishing Pride Month and replacing it with Veterans Month? They followed up on the idea with another post reading, Raise your hand if you support abolishing Pride Month and replacing it with Veterans Month.Raise your hand if you support abolishing Pride Month and replacing it with Veterans Month pic.twitter.com/O2MsZekZqT MAGA Voice (@MAGAVoice) November 8, 2025 Never Miss a Beat Subscribe to our newsletter to stay ahead of the latest LGBTQ+ political news and insights.

One user, @lildragonsoul, wrote in a chronically misspelled and grammatically incorrect post, If Lgbtq get 1 month why do Vetrans only get 1 day? Explain why mental disorder gets celebrations for a f**king month when our vetrans who many have died for our country only get 1 f**king day!! Lgbtq should be 1 day not a f**king month!If "Lgbtq" get 1 month why do Vetrans only get 1 day?Explain why mental disorder gets celebrations for a fucking month when our vetrans who many have died for our country only get 1 fucking day!!

Veterans do.Gay people dont deserve a whole month for recognition. Veterans do.

As such, May and November both honor these queer military members too.While most militaries enforce rigid uniformity among servicemembers, many queer military members and veterans celebrate their LGBTQ+ identities, both to demonstrate the pride of living in a country where people are (theoretically) free to express their authentic selves and to demonstrate the achievements of queer people who have overcome historical institutional anti-LGBTQ+ bias to serve their countrys military.Subscribe to theLGBTQ Nation newsletterand be the first to know about the latest headlines shaping LGBTQ+ communities worldwide.
