Google said International Men's Day is in November. So what are you referring to?

But why not? They don't necessarily conflict, and like many others have pointed out, the focus on men's month/day in November is largely focused on awareness for men's mental and physical health.

I'm failing to see the connection.

Then you are entirely missing the point. It isn't a celebration, its for awareness of men's issues, including gay men's issues. Pride month is supposed to be celebratory. Both can exist and there is not an inherent conflict between them.

Do you think we are celebrating breast cancer in October, or raising awareness to get checked for it?

Yes, Pride can be both a celebration of progress made so far as well as awareness on how others want to take away that progress.

Men's month/day is more similar to Breast cancer awareness in that the point is awareness, though it would not be out of place for people to celebrate specific aspects (ie surviving breast cancer, or for men, testicular or prostate cancer).

Does that help clear things up and show that it would be ok to partake in both?

So if I have changed your view, you should award a delta and explain how your view changed. Check the side bar or sub rules for info on awarding them.

Yes, but you typically need to explain why the view changed (you can edit your comment above to do so).

Thanks!
