The basic concept of being "proud to be straight" is not homophobic, but the straight pride movement is deeply rooted in a homophobic effort to dismiss the basic concept of gay pride, and anyone jumping on that bandwagon because they feel like it's reasonable to be proud to be straight is completely missing the point of gay pride (that is, a celebration of the hardships the LGBT community has had to overcome and a push back against the shame that's been forced on them for so long). Whether it's malicious or ignorant, straight pride is absolutely a homophobic movement.

Also, I liked one tweet I saw that said something along the lines of "Isn't a straight pride parade just traffic?"

The basic concept of proud to be straight is homophobic since it was made to counter and take away from the gay pride movement.

The very fact that you would need something like straight pride when you aren't in the least bit facing any kind of discrimination is in itself awful.

I mean, there's nothing wrong with being proud of who you are, which for the vast majority of people includes being straight. Singling out heterosexuality as being something worth being proud of, however, is indeed just silly and homophobic.

On one side you have people saying mean things(LGBTQ). On the other you have people saying mean shit online, protesting gay culture, taking away protections against discrimination from them, not allowing them the same basic rights as a straight person and in more extreme cases attacking or even killing people. So no, it's really not the same.

I don't understand why all of you people are being so harsh on the idea of a straight pride parade. These events are so important!

Why, I remember what it felt like when I first came to the realization that I was a young man who was attracted to women. I tried to deny it, tried to pretend like it wasn't so, but I was living a lie. Eventually I confessed to my parents that I was straight the day before I left for university. My Mom tried to be understanding, but there were definitely some tears there - I think she was hoping she wouldn't have grandchildren. My Dad just looked upset and eventually stormed out without saying a word. That was the start of several years where he refused to even speak to me, though we have since reconciled.

For the next few years I had to deal with the terror of living in a big city as an openly straight man. Was this the day I would find out my landlord was vehemently against heterosexuality (for religious reasons, perhaps?) and threw me out of my rental house? Was this the day someone would attack me and my girlfriend for holding hands in public? I never wanted to lie about who I was, but that was a choice that sometimes sent my heart racing. There were times I worried for my safety and wondered if I should try and hide my sexual orientation... but my lack of fashion sense and inability to name even a single ABBA song gave me away every time.

We need a straight pride parade for every young man and woman who went through all of the things I just described! If you can't sympathize with that, then you just don't understand the incredible challenge of living as a heterosexual in today's world.

Dude, can't you read? I'm straight! I'm trying to support all of the straight people who went through those exact hardships and who are persecuted TO. THIS. DAY. because of their sexual orientation.

Didn't you hear about that prosecutor in the South who doesn't believe heterosexual marriages are true marriages and so he won't apply domestic violence protections to straight victims? Or that string of businesses that insists its their right to refuse to serve straight people?

You clearly have no idea of the challenges heterosexual people face every single day. People like you are the exact reason we need a Straight Pride Parade!

That is a good assessment. It's more a reaction to the gay one than asserting itself on its own merits.

Gay pride grew out of the fact that, for centuries gay people were told that they should be ashamed of who they are; their response was that no, they weren't going to be ashamed, they were gay and no one was going to tell them that they should feel lesser as a result.

That doesn't sound like a stupid reaction to me.

you do understand that not having shame, and having pride are two very different things right? pride is something you should have in your accomplishments, and unless we are suddenly taking the stance that being gay IS a choice, then its not an accomplishment.

and sure, you shouldnt feel lesser as a result. or greater as a result. youre supposed to just be a person and that is supposed to just be a stat about you. thats supposed to be your own private business and nobody is supposed to give a shit about it.

im 6'3". its not something im proud of. its not something im ashamed of. it is a stat. it is a stat like being a male, and being white, and being American, and having grey eyes. theyre not choices i made, theyre just things i was born with. i didnt accomplish anything to get any of them. gays didnt accomplish anything that turned them gay. thats not how it works.
