    I mean, ok. Pride isn’t exclusionary. Most gay people have straight parents, siblings, friends and so on. If you feel the need to celebrate being straight, that’s cool. If you think you’re a victim because you are straight then I might suggest some therapy.

    You know what would be the fucking best thing ever? If everyone showed up and was totally supportive. Like those hateful bigots are all marching and hollering and then here comes the pride parade with hetero banners and signs saying “Heteros Are Awesome!” and other really positive shit. And they’ll be all like “We don’t want your support,” and we’ll be like “Fuck you, pride is for all!” And maybe like one or two of them would be like, “Oh…” and then the world is a better place for a moment.

      I mean, my first thought was “Aww… sweety… yes, you are awesome. Have a cookie and let mommy watch her stories.”

      For a moment I thought you were headed inthe direction of LGBTQ rebranding “All Lives Matter”.

      Like some hateful biggot is chanting “DOWN WITH QUEERS” and then the Pride Parade marches in, and starts supporting them. And the hate parade tries to resist, and then the Pride people start saying they love everybody, and ALL lives matter. And then the hateful side says “WAIT! NO! THATS OURS, AND IT DOESN’T MEAN THAT!” And then the Pride people say “Too late! We’ve rebranded it now! We love you, baby!” And the hateful people are just confused like “what…what just happened??”

        Or we can show up and convince them that there is an ongoing class war and politely let them know they’ve been used to fight themselves and that we have more people on our side of the class war.

    Pride: “equal rights for all”.

    Straight pride: “all people are equal, but straights are more equal than others”.

    I’m a straight dude and would love to socially meet more hetero women… but this sounds like the lamest and (ironically) gayest event I’ve ever heard of. Guaranteed it’s going to be filled with ugly, un-fun, angry people counter-protesting. You know the type, critically concerned with what the fuck other consenting adults do…?

    It would be great to see them do this, march around with their “straight pride” bullshit, only to have the LGBTQ+ community cheering them on with signs about the first amendment and acceptance.

    Really drill into anyone who hasn’t been paying attention, who the good guys and bad guys here are.

    Probably a pipe dream since this would 100% be more about hate than acceptance.

    “No hate at all, it’s a love thing.”

    But also LGTBQ+ people are “disgusting and criminal”.
