Is Straight Pride a Real Thing?

"I don't agree with his position on this. I don't think we need Straight Pride parades as I believe the real agenda is to mess with gays like All Lives Matter messes with Black Lives Matter protesters. I also don't listen to Bruce Springsteen and know nothing about him. But Kim Kardashian is hot as hell. The man was on point with his selection!"

In fact if you have ever looked at her playboy pictures and you are NOT sexually aroused as a man then you are definitely gay. Not that there is anything wrong with that....let them be them.

 

I don't feel a sense of pride in being straight. That is just what I am. I don't even think about it much because it is considered normal. I don't face any persecution for it. There's no history of heterosexual oppression that influences my mind to feel I need to defend being straight. This is like racial attitudes on Black pride. White people in America have not been through what Black people have been through. We have things like Black History Month to help appreciate Black Americans because we as Blacks have been discriminated against and made to feel unappreciated. So I understand the Gay Pride mentality and the gay agenda.

On gay issues I am not passionate about the subject only casually interested because it is an interesting social issue. All nations see homosexuality as abnormal. The Bible teaches that it is an abomination. If you grow up in a culture where the word of God says homosexuality is unnatural then it is understandable why you and many people think the way you do. Plus we know that the purpose of sex is procreation. But then what do we make of twin studies showing that identical twins are more likely to be gay than fraternal twins indicating a genetic component? What do we do about genome-wide associations studies showing that there are genes linked to homosexuality? Science challenges these strongly held cultural beliefs and value for common decency mandates that we don't treat people badly because they are different.

If we take the Bible literally then we might as well bring back the witch hunts and burn all the Goths at the stake who practice witchcraft or identify as wiccans. The New Age community would not like that and will resist it just as gays fought for gay marriage. Sexual immorality is a complex topic because obviously we don't tolerate rapists, pedophiles, bestiality and incest so the fight for acceptance by the LGBT community in a society where there are many social taboos concerning sex is an ongoing struggle. My belief is if they are not hurting anyone let them be them. I don't need a Straight Pride parade but like I said if there are topless women shaking their breasts go ahead and have one.

 

What is the purpose of Gay Pride Parades today when they have everything theyve ever asked for and have more protections than any straights.
The answer is simple to ram in it our faces day in and day out.

ANY GROUP has the right to peacefully protest or assemble, if you are going to allow ONE group, then all must be allowed.
This one sided liberal nonesense has to be confronted

 

They could simply be celebrating their sexuality. I don't think it is about "sticking it to those breeders" they are just expressing themselves. Again if people want to have Straight Pride parades with topless women shaking their breasts I am all for that. I would love that. But I think we already have that with Mardi Gras and Spring Break. You can go to strip clubs and experience the celebration of being straight. If straight pride parades are only about "sticking it to those homos" and sneering at them saying "Look at this! We're just doing what you're doing!" then I think that is immature.

 

I dont have a problem with them celebrating their sexuality, but you and they seem to have a problem with Heterosexuals celebrating their sexuality
The left doesnt get to pick and choose who can protest, riot, boycott, and celebrate

 

Gay pride events typically have protesters and none of you meltdown over that...

The majority of the people at the straight pride event were not there to “celebrate” anything besides their ability to troll.
While they absolutely have the right to — as you put it — assemble to mock others, others have the right to also have the right to protest that event.

 

If there can be gay pride there can be straight pride, it would be asinine and hypocritical to believe otherwise. Whether or not there should be is a different story...

 

Seems legit enough to me. It definitely makes more sense to be proud of NOT being a sexual deviant than it does to be proud of being one.

 

Just regarding this portion HonestJoe,
I agree straight pride events are ridiculous. Stooping to the level of behavior you object to is just plain ignorant. There are a lot of people parading around that are just making a mokery of themselves.

I know a lot of people, who are anything but straight, who wouldn't be caught dead participating in the foolishness of gay pride

Making a Circus Freak of oneself is not going to achieve the the acceptance they claim to be seeking .

 

I agree with both of the first two options: Straight culture is under relentless attack; and this does, indeed, amount to a gentle mocking of identity politics (or, even more to the point, a mocking of political correctness).

 

Agree. Heterosexual culture is under attack as are white people of any orientation. Although it's highly homo phobic and racist to acknowledge that.

 

I said yes, that the straight culture is under attack, but I am referring to straight men being attacked by women and the media for decades - not for being straight, but for being straight men. The vilification of men has run amok since the 70s.

Straight is not under attack. Other world views do not impede my ability to be straight. But straight men are certainly often vilified by women and the media. They never seem to attack gay men.

 

Being proud over something you did not choose yourself is the hgihest level of

Women are under attack too.

 

Yes the survival of our species and the nuclear family.

So what? If they are proud of their sexuality why can't heterosexuals since theirs is so vital to our survival as a society and a species?

 

Do you believe by celebrating it (heterosexuality) it will increase the number of heterosexuals, increase the birth rate, or promote the nuclear family?

If so how does the parade in question — which featured anti-gay slogans, Pepe the frog which is a character cooped from the alt-right as an anti-Semitic, anti-gay and anti-pc mascot do that?

I am perfectly fine with people being “proud” of themselves — gay pride is a movement against discrimination and disenfranchisement however. Do you feel the straight pride event showed very much pride in the heterosexual orientation or was it just to mock others?

If you are so proud of yourself that you have to simply mock others I would argue you are not proud at all, just angry.

 

Sure wouldn't hurt why are you opposed?

What about the anti-hetero signs at the gay parade as the example I posted.

Why shouldn't I be proud of my heterosexuality and who have I mocked. Why shouldn't heterosexuals have as much standing as homosexuals?

Seems you want to keep heterosexuals in the closet or at least in their bedrooms in spite of their being the group that is so vital and necessary to our survival and species.

 

I’m not necessarily opposed, heterosexuality is the norm and doesn’t really require celebration but if that’s what people want that’s fine. What I have an issue with is when it turns into a mocking of others, like this parade.

I followed this thread back to page one, you have posted no pictures. Feel free to post some however showing anti-heterosexual sentiment.

You can be proud of whatever you want. It’s just strange no one was proud of it until gay rights became mainstream.

How did you arrive at that lie?

 

Labor unions are "normal" and we celebrate them. Veterans are "normal" and we celebrate them. Lot's of things are normal and we celebrate them. Why should we only celebrate the abnormal?

It was in another thread and for some reason the photo is gone now

Maybe because there was never a need to show the counter to it.

You seem to voicing opposition to expressing that pride.

 

I am fine with heterosexuals celebrating themselves.
I am not ok with them disparaging others to do so.

While I don’t remember the image as being anti-heterosexual, I do remember my response:

I’m not seeing where they were attacking heterosexuals. Straight pride hate pride was an acknowledgement of what this event was and in no way was saying heterosexuals should be arrested, murdered, are sining, will burn in hell or wanting revocation of their rights.

Care to try again? Let me give you an example of what I am talking about:


If you need more examples I have literally thousands.
I’m sure you can come up with just one.

Exactly...
If you are having to counter something it isn’t pride. It’s an anti-pride.

False, I am voicing an opposition to events that sole purpose is to degenerate others.

 

HUH? And if you are OK then what is your gripe here?

Well then why did you ask me to post it again?

Oh found it again

You defiantly said "SHOW ME ONE JUST ONE PICTURE"

I did.

It was an example of the heterophobia. Which side had to arrested? Which side was trying to disrupt the other?

Sure it can be, to show the pride of the other side, again what do you oppose that especially when it is so vital to our society and species?

OK this wasn't one.

 

This wasn’t a straight pride parade, it was just labeled as such. It was an anti-gay one.

Go to the organizers website or others that have promoted these events to see what they are truly about.

I don’t understand the picture on the left as being anti heterosexual, the one on the right is just saying the event was representative of hate — not of pride. It in no way says anything about about being anti-straight.

They were arrested for disorderly conduct and again they were protesting against an event that was mocking them or people they care about — not heterosexuals in general. Find one that says all straight should die, be arrested, or be denied their right to marriage.
Or that they will go to hell.

I have already answered this.

The anti gay signs — plus build the wall signs — and caricatures there disagree with your assessment.

 

Sorry you don't get to self-servingly declare it something other than what it was.

I heard them in their own words, if you got something that says different post it.

Declaring pride in heterosexuality hate. Heterophobia.

Yes they were the ones trying to deny 1st Amendment rights.

But then post otherwise.

Oh now build the wall.

Heterosexuals have as much right to celebrate their heterosexuality as homosexuals have to celebrate their homosexuality and in fact it is FAR more important to our society and species we do the former than the latter. Dispute that.

 

The images and the group that set it up and funded it did that, it doesn’t need a “self-serving declaration”.

See above

If someone held a white pride parade and it was mostly comprised of KKK members and anti-black symbolism would you argue it was a white pride parade or an anti-black parade? Your declaration is absurd.

Protesting is not denying anyone their first amendment rights.
Maybe you should go read the amendment

I already have

Why would I even attempt to dispute that?
You do not seem to be able to grasp why gay pride is or why it came to be.

The dispute is over the actual motive behind the parade.
It wasn’t pride in anything.

 

And that's where you lost it, having to now compare it to the KKK is pure desperation.

 

That was attempt to see if you even comprehend the metrics behind the issue.
You obviously do not or blind agenda is preventing it.
I compared nothing to the KKK.

I accept your concession however.

Cheers
