Why would anyone be proud of their sexuality? That's awkward. I guess society is too sexualized when people identify themselves so strongly thru their love for genitals.

'I'm proud that I like chicks'... would sound pretty weird to think like that IMO.

Just as strange as saying "I'm white and i'm proud" or "I'm male and i'm proud"

I'm not saying there's a double standard, but saying it just comes across all wrong.

 

I get what you're saying, but I think you're overly focused on the sex. Now, I can only speak for myself, but I think the pride is more about of standing up for who you are and what you represent despite the discrimination and prejudice you might be subjected to. 

I'm not proud of my sexuality, that's just simply something I'm born with, but I'm proud that I dare to be who I truly am and not pretending to be someone else just to "fit in". I think all people who bring down barriers and defy boundaries should be proud of themselves, because that's the way the world moves on, wether it's in art, science, technology or just in everyday life or whatever. Dare to be different!

Ah well, that's my 2 cents anyway.

Straight pride, white pride, or male pride would just be status quo pride.  And that's boring.  Hahaha.

And you can kind of think of ALL media as a straight pride parade.  There are tons of reality shows about straight people getting drunk in hot tubs and dating 50 people at once and deciding who to marry.  There's a billboard right around here that's a gigantic naked woman barely covering her breasts.  I don't even know what it's advertising for, but any time I walk down that street there's a giant naked woman staring at me.  And half the buses I see are advertising girls in their underwear shaving their giant curvy bus-long legs.  I'm basically drowning in heterosexuality everywhere I go, and I live in one of the gayest areas around.
