Straight Pride

Sorry but your friend is ignorant doesn't he know straight pride is celebrated everyday every hour ?
Your straight friend can turn on any tv channel and see couples or people like him /herself
Your straight friend can hold their opposite sex partners hand without being attacked or arrested because it makes others uncomfortable or even worse killed .
No one tells your straight friend that their attractions aren't normal .
Your straight friend wouldn't have their family have a mental break down or get angry when they bring their opposite sex lover over .

Everyday is straight pride . :dry:

You don't need no pride because you already Got one .(tell your friend I said that ) :tantrum:

 

Explain to him that would be the equivalent of having "White Pride" in a predominantly white society, where minorities are oppressed. It's like asking why white people never had a civil rights movement in the United States--there was never any necessity. There's no need to have "Straight Pride" because never in history have heterosexuals had to feel ashamed (the opposite of proud) of who they are, much less violently oppressed and killed.

I should clarify: never have heterosexuals experienced oppression for the sole reason of being heterosexuals; however, they may or may not have experienced it because they belonged to another oppressed class.

 

I think they should and they can have ok their flag grey, brown, black, and white.

 

Bonaparte and Stocking took the words out of my mouth. There are no "straight pride" days or parades simply because they don't need any. Take music, for example. There is a countless amount of songs with straight themes, and thousands more being made everyday. But when someone makes a song with a gay theme, everyone loses their marbles.

 

There's already one.

And the last time I checked, no one is trying to keep straights from being proud. Instead of being happy oppressed groups are gaining rights, you get those folks who feel "attacked" and a need to "hit back".

The exceptions might be those into BDSM, polyamory, role play, etc.

 

What the above posters said...Straight boys already have all the rights they need because they follow what they call a "normal and heterosexual" lifestyle...Gay men actually have to fight for their rights...So, "straight pride" is a bunch of bullshit...

 

Well.. they need to realize that some people have shame in their sexuality and some need to have pride in themselves and need to realize there's more like them.

 

Why would anyone want to celebrate normalcy and conformity? That would be extremely boring(not that the're's anything bad about being straight). :dry:
Homosexuality, bisexuality, and transgenderism is "abnormal". A unique group of people deserve a special day to embrace who they are. People always love a rebel...

Till a straight male or female is kicked out of their home, disowned by their family, killed for being straight, fired for being straight they need to shut the shit up and sit down....

 

Yeah because straight people are so oppressed. I feel bad for them (sarcasm)

Ask your friend if he's ever gotten dirty looks for holding hands with a girl in public or kissing a girl in public or mocked then ask him how many times he's seen 2 guys holding hands or kissing in public and ask him why he thinks that is

 

If your proud of being straight then that's straight pride

 

To be fair, there are plenty of people who consider public displays of affection like that rude, and may give dirty looks, regardless. But it isn't nearly as common among hetero couples, so I guess that is beside the point.

But yeah... Many people explained it well already. I have nothing more to add.

 

Because straight pride doesn't give the sense of unity that gay pride does. Most people are straight, so whoop-de-do, right?

 

My dad has said something along those lines before and I'm just like "fine be proud of who you are...?" I mean everyone has the right to be proud of who they are. Straight people didn't have to fight to be recognized or accepted though.
