Why is the LBGT community so upset about a straight pride parade?
Straight people have a right to celebrate heterosexuality. They're not hurting anyone by having a parade.

@ISpeakTheTruth Mostly because it has nothing to do with pride, but being a shit human being.
[quote]In fact, as a number of media outlets have already begun to point out, the parade is not about promoting straightness but about promoting traditional notions of white masculinity and the restoration of a white settler ethnostate. We know this from a brief glance at the bios of the organizers—John Hugo, Mark Sahady, and Chris Bartley—who have previously been affiliated with groups and events that promoted and ignited physical violence, such as “Resist Marxism,” a group that has explicitly promoted anti-semitic, misogynist and anti-LGBTQ views, and the “Patriot Prayer Rally” which took place in Portland last year, and ended in physically violent confrontations between Proud Boys and anti-fascist protesters. Last year, Resist Marxism held a similar rally in Boston and was led by Kyle Chapman, who became renowned in alt-right circles for smashing a wooden post over an anti-fascist protester’s head at Berkeley the year prior.[/quote]
