I have been to several HEB and Walmart stores around San Antonio this month. What I've seen has been at least a little positive for us sane people. All have VERY small displays for this dumbass month, if they have a display at all.

I still have no idea how one is "proud" of things you didn't actually accomplish something for.

The gays should be proud. Beiing gay is something really special, like having reflexes.
Noticed that up here in Austin too. My HEB went super gay last year, now just slightly effeminate this year only taking up end cap of the aisle. So progress.

Lubbock lost me when my head got smacked by ttu goalposts in Jones. Haven't been back since.

Reminds me of when our beloved Coach Slocum on a Mobile remarked after losing a game in Lubbock that Aggies don't like greasy poles being shoved their way.

I hope I came close on the literal quote. It's been over 20 years since Tech torn down the goal posts and carried them into the Aggie's section, prompting that CSOM golden remark.

EDIT: Just saw BusterAg's post. Here was there.

They reek with stupidity and being abnormal. Such a idiotic thing to be proud of and they define themselves by their sexual preference.

Probably because it's an election year and they're trying to tone it down a bit. Next year there will be rainbow banners all over their stores.

Given LBGT make up about 7% of the population, I am not surprised.
FYI the pride parades do not help their cause IMHO.

Maybe, but now that even small cities, like Lubbock, are no longer completely rural in their culture, or can stay the way it is now and things will continue to run their course for the LGBTQXYZ. The same thing happens with every cultural shift until that group (women in the workforce, African Americans, etc.).

It's new with the LGBTQXYZ, it's nothing new for society.

There are 360K people in the Lubbock MSA. It's not a small city.

So this isn't surprising at all. Larger urban areas will automatically be susceptible to this and will not avoid it.

Good point. Many people who aren't from the area still think of it as a small town that happens to have a university.

And, as you said, large urban areas will always have this happen.

Now, the businesses and landowners, way back when the area was homogenous in every way, could have chosen to keep their businesses small and maintain the homogeneity of the rural area. However, once they decided to pursue more money, it became inevitable that the area would undergo the same changes that happen to pretty much every other city of note.

I'm the old fart, but lots of you are living in 50 years ago. Lubbock is anything but a small town. It's as big as Bryan-College Station, and it's the trade and medical center for a 50-100 mile radius of small towns

And above posters are correct, Tech is no longer full of boys from farms/ranches/small towns, any more than A&M is full of East Texas farm boys. Those are way outnumbered by the Dallas and Houston crowd. Some of those were denied admission to t.u. and A&M and it shows.

Still a lot of local good ol' boys and girls, but the anal orifices tend to drown them out

In other cringeworthy news, H-Town has spun up a second pride parade which looks to be full of new grifters exploiting the sexual orientation segment. When I saw the Houston news people touting this "celebration," I was super confused until I had the a-ha moment: Oh, there is still money to launder and people to fleece if Houston can support another parade. The only pride these people have is in the money they make from shaming people into buying into their scam.

It's on the same level of ridiculousness of Houston having two MLK parades.

Lubbock is still a nice place to live and raise a family. Unfortunately, Satan's reach is worldwide. Fortunately, so is the Almighty's.

We are doomed as a nation.

I mess with you a lot about being "old", even though I'm only maybe 17 yrs younger (almost 53yo) but you are one of my favorite posters.

I thought this was common practice in Lubbock, just like Austin.

I thought Norm was a "deeply closeted gay guy"...

Just because they had an alphabet soup pride event in Lubbock does not mean "Lubbock is lost"
