A man's engagement post, featuring him proposing on bended knee to his girlfriend, has sparked brutal backlash online. Critics have pointed out the oddity of mentioning LGBTQ people and Pride Month in the context of his proposal. Many found it inappropriate and expressed confusion over why his first thought during such a personal moment was about gay people. The backlash includes comments about how this approach detracts from the intimacy and significance of the proposal, with some suggesting it reflects poorly on his character. One comment even said, 'Condolences to your wife.'
You know what I wasn't thinking about when my husband and I decided to get married? Pride month. How did this guy manage to be gayer than me while proposing to a woman? https://t.co/sRYxeg3y85
I would be so upset if someone proposed to me and then attempted to use photos of this life changing and intimate moment in my life to upset gay people online. Imagine how angry and sad this guy must be all the time about other people living their lives to do this. https://t.co/vOtKAloWLb

So you thought about LGBTQ people when you were proposing and posting this? Kind of gay, dude. Which is fine, just an odd ommission to make. Imagine when your kids look back on on this moment and instead of some sweet announcement they'll see that dad was thinking about pride⦠https://t.co/zfKapwVZoE
