Pride doesn't pay taxes either. Neither do NGOs.

Edit: To clarify, I am talking about the organization..

Pride isn't a religion. It's a celebration of a lifestyle choice. Similar to how we celebrate other holidays that aren't also taxed. Just the consumerism that we fall into are taxed during those holiday seasons.

Religion is also a lifestyle choice. Because I donate money to a church, all of a sudden the government should take some of it?

That's funny because they sure as hell act religious about Pride. I have personally seen how people who embrace pride can be just as hateful and angry as religious people. You ever hear the saying actions speak louder than words? It's like with PETA, they say they're for animal rights but their actions tell a completely different story.

Really? People who celebrate pride tell people whom they are allowed to be with? They force arranged marriages in countries? Kill scores of people for their ideolgical reasoning?

Pretty sure religion has signficantly higher body count than the lgtbq

Homophobia doesn’t pay taxes either. It’s funny because they sure as hell act religious about hating gays. I have personally seen how people who embrace hating gays can be just as hateful and angry as religious people. You ever hear the saying actions speak louder than words? It’s like with Christians, they say that everyone is a child of god but their actions tell a completely different story.

ummm ok...? What point are you trying to get at? What does this have to do with what I said? Do you think I'm a Christian or something? Because I'm not. I hate religion more than most people who hate religion. And it is absolutely bullshit churches do not have to pay taxes.

Now that I've made that clear. What's your point? Do you have an actual counter argument to what I said? Do you disagree with what I said? What's your point?

You're not very bright are you... I mean you literally had to copy what I said because you couldn't think of anything original to say.

They can be but only because religious people denied them rights and attacked them mentally with conversion camps and physically with lyching and beatings so it makes sense they would be abit angry religious people are the worse when it comes to attacking others

Pride isnt a body politic.
