Marks said: That's awesome! I really hope they do this. And anyone who is against this should be considered a heterophobic, because if they're not allowed to have a straight pride parade then that is a massive double standard. |
That's just silly, I'm not hetrophobic and I am against this idea.
It's amusing/worrying how people don't get this ' oh gays have one so why can't straights'
It really isn't that simple. think WHY gays have one, think WHY black people celebrate their culture and such. There is a REASON for it. White people and straight people have never had to face prejudice.
Gay pride and celebrating black history isn't about being racist against whites and hetrophobic. White pride and straight pride .. really? It'd be singling black and gays out. If you don't get that then ... damn. It's ABC ...

I get what you're saying, I just don't agree with it. So since white people and straight people haven't been descriminated against historically we aren't allowed to celebrate our culture like blacks or gays?
Plus straight white males have it the hardest out of any racial/cultural group these days thanks to affirmative action, racial quotas, etc. Minorities get so many advantages over white people. And it won't be long until white people are a minority in the US. Will we be allowed to have parades once we're the minority?

Yep, I can find random articles online too.
You know there is such a thing as racism towards white people too.
