There are two basic arguments for shutting the fuck up about cishets at Pride.
First: What if a trans kid asks their parents to show their support by attending Pride with them? What if a lesbian can only attend pride if she gets a ride from someone and the only person willing and able to drive her is her straight brother? What if a bi disabled person can't attend a large outdoor event without hands-on assistance from their straight partner? What if someone just wants to bring their fucking friends? What if, contrary to popular tumblr discourse, most queers don't inhabit perfectly pure social bubbles populated only by other queers?
Second and perhaps more important: If you think you can tell that someone is CIS, let alone HET, by LOOKING at them, you are a cop and an idiot.

I would want to do a duel type gym (water and electric) i think it would be cool to have a duel types to bring something fresh yet solid. it would be in a Hydro electric Dam! the challenge would be story based. normally the challenge is to catch the Pokémon who make their way into the pipes. however when you get there the bad guy group has taken over the gym and have closed the gates. so you have to help defeat and get power back to the region.
My ace would be a new water electric type. maybe a platypus or moose (they dive in the ocean)? the rest of the team would be: Lanturn (the only water electric), Eelektross (yeah a electric eel), Electivire (big dude for big power), Wishiwashi (to rep the many fish that pass and live around the dam).
the gym music would be something wild. fast paced yet with a slow methodic base line. To show the speed is backed up by thought, the storm is quick yet powerful.
Ok so like it’s fun to think of what your gym would be if you were a pokemon gym leader. It’s partially based off of your favorite types and partially based on vibes you like (no matter how much you like ground types, if you don’t like getting dirty it might be hard to have a ground gym ya know?). So like fun creative challenge!
What kind of gym would you want and what would it be like on the inside? What about a specialty battlefield? And important new question since it’s been more of a thing the past few games…. What would your gym challenge be? (This can be but doesn’t have to be game based. Like you can pretend pokemon is real and what things would be cool/fun OR keep game mechanics in mind)
I would want an ice type gym! I would want it to be a fun and education place where people of all ages could learn about ice types, how to take care of them, climate, and different environments such as tundras and taigas! There would be lots of fluffy indoor snow and places with great packing snow for everyone to play in. Plenty of bergmites running around as helpers as well as other ice types who just live there (maybe it’s also an ice pokemon adoption center too!)
The battlefield would be mostly solid, frozen ground with areas covered in snow and some small glaciers. Maybe even an area of frozen water that’s all ice on top but is breakable with cold water underneath.
The gym challenge is making a great mug of hot chocolate! Plenty of different dairy and non-dairy milks, different types of cocoas, add-in flavors, marshmallows, and whipped creams to choose from. Other options for people who can’t have this. Everyone passes as long as they enjoy their hot drink to warm them up for the fight! They can make another after the battle if they want :D
What would you choose?

Good Traits Gone Bad
Exploring good traits gone bad in a novel can add depth and complexity to your characters. Here are a few examples of good traits that can take a negative turn:
1. Empathy turning into manipulation: A character with a strong sense of empathy may use it to manipulate others' emotions and gain an advantage.
2. Confidence becoming arrogance: Excessive confidence can lead to arrogance, where a character belittles others and dismisses their opinions.
3. Ambition turning into obsession: A character's ambition can transform into an unhealthy obsession, causing them to prioritize success at any cost, including sacrificing relationships and moral values.
4. Loyalty becoming blind devotion: Initially loyal, a character may become blindly devoted to a cause or person, disregarding their own well-being and critical thinking.
5. Courage turning into recklessness: A character's courage can morph into reckless behavior, endangering themselves and others due to an overestimation of their abilities.
6. Determination becoming stubbornness: Excessive determination can lead to stubbornness, where a character refuses to consider alternative perspectives or change their course of action, even when it's detrimental.
7. Optimism becoming naivety: Unwavering optimism can transform into naivety, causing a character to overlook dangers or be easily deceived.
8. Protectiveness turning into possessiveness: A character's protective nature can evolve into possessiveness, where they become overly controlling and jealous in relationships.
9. Altruism becoming self-neglect: A character's selflessness may lead to neglecting their own needs and well-being, to the point of self-sacrifice and burnout.
10. Honesty becoming brutal bluntness: A character's commitment to honesty can turn into brutal bluntness, hurting others with harsh and tactless remarks.
These examples demonstrate how even admirable traits can have negative consequences when taken to extremes or used improperly. By exploring the complexities of these traits, you can create compelling and multi-dimensional characters in your novel.
Happy writing!

Fun History Fact: The overwhelming majority of cowboys in the U.S. were Indigenous, Black, and/or Mexican persons. The omnipresent white cowboy is a Hollywood studio concoction meant to uphold the mythology of white masculinity.
