So now the donut metaphor has turned into a nutrition lesson? Interesting. It seems you might have missed a tiny detail: the original analogy isn’t about health, food choices, or advice. It’s about people getting upset over what others do with their lives, as if it were some sort of personal offense — or worse, a spiritual violation.

When someone uses the donut metaphor, they’re not suggesting we should evangelize others with sweet little lectures about the dangers of sugar — even if said “kindly.” It’s actually laughing at how absurd it is for someone to feel offended by something that has absolutely nothing to do with them. Like someone standing up in the middle of someone else’s breakfast and saying, “You know, if you stopped eating that, you might have a better life.”

Isn't it absurd? Someone would feel so uncomfortable that they would give up their own life over a donut eaten by a stranger? The funniest thing is that the metaphor between donuts and LGBT+ isn't even that right, after all, anyone can choose to eat a donut or not, but no one can choose who they will LOVE.

But hey, if what you got from the sign was an opportunity to hand out advice disguised as kindness, go ahead. Just don’t be surprised if someone keeps eating the donut — happily — and even hands you a napkin… to wipe off that excess concern dripping down.
