National Straight Pride Coalition refused permit to march

Khayembii Communique said:
Cute statement but there is no more reason to be proud of one's straightness than there is to be proud of having brown eyes, yet there is a reason that these people want to have a straight pride event and not a brown eyes pride event.

Do they not have a right to have an event of their own choosing?

It would appear here people think a person who has pride for being straight, is a racist or bigot.

Are we suppose to be ashamed for being straight?

There is a difference between not having pride for being straight, and being ashamed for being straight. You should feel normal for being straight just like you'd feel normal for having brown eyes. The only people that would feel the need to express "pride" in something so mundane is because they are bigots.

You're late to the thread if you're making a post like this. The reason the permit wasn't approved was due to safety and insurance. My posts are not about whether the event should have been held, just that the event would be inherently bigoted.

I get it.

The gay pride parades are full of bigots.

OK...

Safety and insurance? :lol: I'm sure they found a way to cook that up real quick.

I don't think you have to be ashamed, and I think you can be proud to be straight. But in saying you are proud to be straight, you have to think about what makes you proud about being straight? What is it in being straight that there is to be proud of? If it's part of an overall pride in yourself and how you are as a person, then that seem good to me. However, if it's a pride in being not LGBTQ+, then you have to wonder why that is a thing to be proud of.

I don't really care what your opinion on this matter is, and my posts weren't about it, so if you're going to respond to my posts then maybe respond with something relevant otherwise you're not making any sense.

If safety were a real worry in these marches and protests, you'd never see the likes of Antifa ever show up at one.

So why is it so different to have pride being a part of the LGBTQ+?

gay people have gay pride because they no longer need to have gay shame. They parade in the streets because they no longer need to hide in closets. Why, oh why would straight people need to express pride? You know why- to provoke controversy. That's all it is, stirring up ****.

ding ding ding! I am posting a longer in depth version in a new thread.

So....
We have a single idea, that this is all it is about.

OK....

Very limited thinking.

I pity you guys.

Why would you want to have Straight Pride march?

Probably because the LGBT community has parades. Nothing more, nothing less. Now I've always been what is good for the goose is good for the gander type of guy. Either give both side permits or don't give either side a permit. Letting one side march but not the other is discrimination in its rawest form.

Come to think about, the only reason I can think of for seeking the permit and the march could be to prove the LGBT communities and their supporters also discriminate. Other than that, why in the world have one or attempt to have one?

The purpose of a straight pride anything is to taunt the LGBTQ community - plain and simple. The LGBTQ community, throughout history, have been victims of bigotry, hate, discrimination, and abuse. Through advocacy efforts, the LGBTQ community have overcome much of the injustice and have persevered. For that reason there is a reason for them to be "proud". People who identify as straight have not suffered said injustice. For that reason, there is no reason to be "proud" of being straight.
 
Risky Thicket said:
Oh, that's brilliant. :roll: The whole point of the Straight Pride event is to exclude gay people just as White Pride events are express solidarity and exclude non-white people. Both events and similar ones are all about the insecurities of small minded straight and/or while people.

If LGBTQ people showed up to march together with people at a Straight Pride event they'd be as welcomed as a bowl of hots turds at a prayer breakfast.

Was that the point? Where did it say that? Or say that they won't welcome others joining?

I agree with this 110%

I myself, have better things to do than participate in such a parade. But I would if I had nothing better to do, just to watch the bigots who opposed it.

I am sad for those who have nothing better to do than be in protest/in your face type parades, on either side.

But I do understand both sides. Unlike the lefties.

Force it in the open, so that maybe people will realize the stupid idiots they support.

Spoken by someone obviously ashamed of being attracted to dudes. Self-hatred is unhealthy.
 
SDET said:
They are looking for "just us" instead of justice. To repurpose a phrase from Fidel Castro: Inside the movement - everything ; outside the movement - nothing. The same goes for feminism. If homosexuals want protection from discrimination, they too are prohibited from discriminating against people based on sexual orientation.

So your concern is that people in the LGBTQ community wish to turn everyone gay? Well... that doesn't scream "paranoia" at all :roll:

Their pride is more about acceptance and equality. Straight people are both accepted and have all the equality.

Again, I don't mind someone being proud of being straight, as long as it doesn't come from a place of hate.

Then maybe I should add right leaning to the mix.

You have no idea how much hatred I see from liberals for not being liberal!

First, the reason this wasn't approved was because of an insurance and safety issue.

Second, "straight pride" is inherently hateful, just like white pride.

Hateful like "all lives matter" is inherently hateful.
