There is a straight pride parade being organized....

@Synyster See above. Heterosexuals have been discriminated against for the entirety of history and the LGBTQ+ community needs to see that they're not going away without a fight.

@SW-User This is the problem with equal rights. The @$$holes get to be equal too.

@whowasthatmaskedman I've yet to see large groups of LGBTQ+ demanding that cities not hold "straight pride" parades or forcing city government buildings to remove "straight pride" flags.

@curiosi Before this year I was pretty left-leaning, but I find myself drifting towards the right, not because the right has a better ethos, but because I am sick of the thought-police, SJW bullshit that the left has been pushing recently.

They seem to have forgotten that it's not just THEIR opinions and thoughts that count. But they are living in an echo chamber and can only hear their own 'righteous' opinions, and if anyone dares to disagree even slightly then they must be some sort of 'ist'.

It's not a healthy mind-set for an individual to have, let alone a 'movement'.

@daisymay You can't oppress a superior force, lol

You can only oppress when you are in a position of power and authority.

The current plan of being out and loud and proud and as camp as possible isn't a) working, or b) representative of the majority of LGBT people. As I say, it's pretty much damaging relations these days because so many people are sick to death of it. In fact, people are generally sick of being told what they can say, what they can think, how they are supposed to react. You push folks far enough, and eventually they start to push back. The far-left just doesn't understand this because they are so caught up in their own self-righteousness.

@Quizzical Having a pride parade isn't pushing things.

Well, I guess they should work to change the laws that force them to do those things....oh, hey wait a minute!

You mean bigots. I honestly don't give a shit what a bigot thinks.

I'm done trying to convince you to be an ally, I will not beg for being allowed to exist and I resent your insinuation that I should. Goodbye now.

@daisymay I'm not an ally... I'm actually part of the LGBT community. I guess you missed me saying that earlier though.

And no these people are not bigots, they are just normal, everyday folks getting tired of being dictated to and having ideologies (from both sides of the political spectrum admittedly) rammed down their throats.

But the community can keep on with this current strategy if they want to. I just predict stronger and stronger backlashes against it.

Subtlety is far more useful in most situations than screaming defiance.

@Ryannnnnn I can't wait for Westboro Baptist to endorse all the "straight pride" parades. Then I'll get to say things like "all straight people endorse Westboro Baptist Church" and point to their parades as proof.

Sorry, straights, you're all bigots now 🤷‍♀️

@daisymay Haha and the culture wars continue..god the world is stupid today.

@Ryannnnnn I'm just playing in the playground they demanded we have.
