Vernon Jones Says Straight White Males ‘Most Discriminated’ Group in US Deserve Their Own Pride Month


Every year, throughout the month of June, the LGBT community celebrates its Gay Pride Month but we only have one day to celebrate Memorial Day to honor the men and women who died fighting for our country.

On Thursday, Republican congressional candidate Vernon Jones, from Georgia, says straight, white males deserve to have their own Pride Month. He added that the group might just be the most discriminated group in the country.

“Straight, white males deserve a Pride Month,” Jones tweeted. “The Left won’t acknowledge it, but that group might just be the most discriminated group in America today.”

It's a catch-22; the fact that they relegate black history and queer pride to a month only reiterates their lack of importance/credibility.

and in reality, it only creates more tension and resentment.

I don't want nor need a white history month, hetero month, etc.; white history and hetero "pride" is year round...

@wildbill83 Agreed. It infantalizes it even more. And the slavish pandering media and corporations do is the most disingenuous ever

It's true but this is still a gimmick. Silly
Political pandering. If this representative can’t put more substantive issues up on the table for review and consideration, he’d be wise to re-evaluate his platform.
As an adult, white male, I don’t need to have a pride day, week, month, etc. Have come this far, ergo, don’t need it nor would or do I want it.

He has a point, if someone were to stand up and say look what white men did talking about positive accomplishments they would immediately be labeled a neo natzi white supremacists. But in fact it historically the people who put an end to racial slavery in the US were white men.

As a straight white male I say thanks for the thought, but I don't feel a need for a Pride day. I don't feel discriminated against. Us SWMs just go through life, being ourselves, living La Vita Loca.

Straight people deserve their own pride month

@richa Actually if you feel you need a "Pride Month", you don't really have pride.

@Funtoy4u in my opinion, they are shaming people for not going along with the gay agenda

As a straight white male I don’t need to have a month dedicated to my sexuality.

@MarmeeMarch He is not a budding politician. He has been a Democrat politician for 23 years. Switched to Republican in 2021.

@MarmeeMarch He is neither Democrat or Republican. He is an opportunist that is only out for himself. He only switched to Republican because he lost an election as a Dem in a Dem county (DeKalb, GA).
