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.

There's no need for it. Straight people have never had to hide or be discriminated against because of being straight.
It's being associated with white pride aka white nationalist groups.

@HannahSky But what if they genuinely want to celebrate their sexual orientation? Who's anyone to stop or ridicule them?
HannahSky · F
@xRedx I think straight people celebrate every day. Straight people can walk down the street and show affection with little consequences. Not everyone can do that.
xRedx · M
@HannahSky Not in the same fashion. If they wanna throw a party and parade, shit that's not gonna upset me. I'm no one and neither are you to stop them from celebrating what they believe in.
HannahSky · F
@xRedx those types of things are usually for people who are oppressed. Straight people aren't oppressed.
xRedx · M
@HannahSky Oh because you say so? I'm sorry, I didn't know we aren't allowed to celebrate what we want here in the United States.

@xRedx Why should we allow white supremacist shitbags a parade? No thanks.
xRedx · M
@Pherick What exactly are you talking about? It's a straight pride parade for those who identify as heterosexual. Unless you have found conclusive evidence that the parade is in fact a white supremacist parade, I'd suggest you stop assuming.

@xRedx I do have conclusive evidence ..

@Pherick As soon as I saw Washingtonpost I knew where you were coming from. I'm not reading that bs, and I don't know how Milo being named the grand Marshall turns it into a white supremacist cause. It's a parade for people who want to celebrate their sexual orientation, nothing different than the pride parade.
Pherick · 41-45, M
@xRedx Oh I see, you don't care about evidence. If you don't see a problem with Milo being the marshall, then that tells me all I need to know about you.
xRedx · M
@Pherick People like you are all the same. Accusing and accusing without providing any evidence. Last time I checked, it's called straight pride parade. Not white supremacist shitbag parade. Also, it's not your evidence. You're just citing from biased news sources.
HannahSky · F
@xRedx you seem very invested in this 🤔 wonder where your affiliation is with this.
HannahSky · F
@Pherick Says it all.. Milo
Pherick · 41-45, M
@HannahSky Yep, he is blocked now. I am so tired of arguing with these racist shitbags. Walk like a racist shitbag and talk like a racist shitbag? Guess what group I lump you into?

That's right :) Racist shitbags! ;)

@HannahSky my affiliation is with logic and respecting people's opinions. If people wanna have a straight parade, why should anyone try to label them as something they're not? If you feel offended because people wanna have a parade celebrating their sexual orientation, hey that's on you. Which is ironic since you and this other person support it. Huh, seems hypocritical to me.
HannahSky · F
@Pherick Yep. It's pretty obvious.
xRedx · M
Oh no he blocked me 😂😂😂
God these people are ridiculous, so sensitive like a snowflake 😂
HannahSky · F
@xRedx I'm saying that the reasoning doesn't make sense in terms of the pride parade which is about celebrating pride and that they can be out. That's not the case with the straight community. Also, if Milo is involved, it's pretty obvious he's got an agenda here. Which is probably why you're supporting it so much? You like Milo and what he stands for?
xRedx · M
@HannahSky You're assuming like your buddy that blocked me. If people that identify as heterosexual and want to have a parade, why should anyone hate or oppose it? Does it bother or hurt you that they can and will? If it does, that's your personal problem.
HannahSky · F
@xRedx Answer my question about Milo.
I have no say in the parade. I just don't see straight people needing it for the reasons I said.
xRedx · M
@HannahSky Well you tell me, what's his agenda? If a openly gay man approves of this so much, I don't see why they are getting nothing but hate from the people supporting the pride parade.

Who are you to say they don't need or want one? You're no one. If they want to throw a parade to celebrate their sexual orientation, all the power to them.
HannahSky · F
@xRedx Milo is into neo-Nazi and white nationalism.
You seem to want to say I'm nobody, but I still don't get why you care so much about this straight pride parade. Are you a straight activist or something?
