I feel very left out. It's not fair. We either celebrate everyone's sexuality or we don't celebrate any of them.

Because straight people never have to fear admitting they were straight in fear of being attacked, thus, don't need a movement to encourage confidence and strength.

TC has a good point though.

Gay people "fight" every day just to be considered a regular human being.
Yet once that gay pride month or some other random gay event rolls around its all "look at me, im special because im gay" & just wanting to be considered a human being is out the window.

Hypocritical if you think about it.

it's not hypocritical, especially when you have to consider that members of the LGBT community still face: discrimination, prejudice, ostracization, etc.

and Pride stuff (Pride Day, Pride Month, Pride marches, etc.) are an affirmation of belonging, identity, worth, and so on, to a world that has historically denied those things

Just because gay people had hardships in the past it doesn't mean they should be elevated and celebrated while my sexuality is not. Give me my month or get rid of pride month. That's fair.

Still do, perhaps not by the government but by society in general. There are still states where people can get fired if it's revealed that they're gay.

El oh el. No. In theory? Yes. In practice? Not at all. I had a friend just the other day get fired because his boyfriend brought him lunch and the boss saw they had matching wedding bands when they hugged goodbye.

Their rights weren't overstepped.

They refused service to gay couples. That was discriminatory. If you're going to discriminate against your customers, you do not have the right to run a business in the United States.

Citizens have religious freedom, but they cannot use that religious freedom as an excuse to discriminate. EVERY citizen has their rights guaranteed under the constitution, and everyone deserves to be treated equally. Religion has no right overstepping that.

Well he didn't exclusively kill people because they were straight though. So your analogy falls flat.

Anyways there's nothing stopping you from starting your own straight pride month. Get enough people to support it and you're set.

Someone's religion could say they don't serve blacks or other non whites, and while you can argue that it's okay, that doesn't mean people have to support them in the slightest though.


Also compare the amount of things bad things happen to people for being gay in comparison for those who have bad things happen for being straight. And this isn't a "they're also straight/gay and something happened" It's a, this is why it happened.

No. That's not equality. All law-abiding citizens deserve equal service.

If you are an American, and you believe in the American ideals freedom, equality and liberty for all, then it stands to reason you'd believe all citizens are entitled to the same.

Effectively what your posts suggest is a form of segregation, something that has already been deemed unconstitutional by the supreme court, as it does not represent equality.
