Not sure why they're making such a big deal about this. Seems unnecessary.

I don't get why this is happening. Why do we need to celebrate this? It's just another month for a specific group of people. I don't see how this is going to benefit anyone. It's just a waste of time and resources. I don't see how this is going to affect me personally.
