This parade is good because it shows that some members of the right are learning how to play the games of the left. The left is upset, because someone else is muscling in on their once exclusive gaming territory.

I remember many, many, moons ago, I was dating a women who was older than me. Because I liked her, I was adapting myself to her strong personality, since she was a force of nature. She also knew how to play irrational intimacy games, that could make my head spin. At first, I had no clue how to play, never mind win, until one day it all made sense to me.

I decided to use her own logical illogic against her, in our friendly play. It turns out she was as dumb founded, when I applied her own logical illogic to her. I made her head spin. Once she realized what I was doing, these games stopped, and a new chapter of our relationship began.

Sounds like they're trying to inflame a situation. Straight Pride? They don't know what Gay Pride means. It means the end of gay shame. It's a defiance of the days when they had to hide like the pariahs they were. Straight pride is nothing more than a provocation.

But, but what about all the times that straight men were imprisoned for being heterosexual? What about all the times straight men were victims of hate crimes because they were heterosexual? What about the decades long fight that straight men had to engage in to gain the right to legal marriage recognition? What about the adoption agencies that would not let straight men adopt? What about the countries where straight men were executed because they were heterosexual?

Oh yeah, none of those things ever happened.

Re: "Group's plans to hold 'straight pride' parade in Boston." Do you support a permit or not?

I support the permit, however I think the purpose of it is misguided, it's to counter the gay pride (or LGBT, or whatever) march. The gay pride parades are held because of the marginalization of that class of people. I mean no insult, but it's like having a Down Syndrome parade.

Imagine the non-Down Syndrome people getting upset and having a parade of their own. It doesn't work. The gay pride or Down parades are kind of like charity in a way - "Look at us, we're normal too!" It's a contrivance. Straights shouldn't bother responding.

I asked you a question do not jump to ignorant conclusions. Science is science and if you do not want to back it then you are the one being ignorant. I am not going to make your argument for you. Its just that your assertion would have been a lot more effective with the actually evidence instead of just a claim.

You were bold enough to say that something is "A scientific fact." yet you cannot even raise a finger to back it?

No one is going to take you serious making such a bold claim then running away from it.

Marxists don't need to back up what they say. Their claims are not up for discussion. Ideally (for them), contradicting them should be met with punishment.

1.) agreed though i doubt they are serious and i have no clue what the concept of straight pride is
2.) never heard that argument but yes if anybody made it, its a completely retarded argument based on nonsense
3.) again im fine with it just like any gathering as long as its real and not hateful / inciting hate/violence

So, basically, you don't believe the majority power perpetuates disproportionate power to its advantage. Interesting. Did you graduate high school?

My statement has nothing to do with whether or not I agree with your position. I am pointing out that you made the assertion and it is your responsibility to support it. Failure to do so indicates that you have no true evidence to stand on. Just as I should support my assertion, which I can, although not as you'd probably expect.

Why not, if the city allows it? I don't care who holds parades in any city.

I just found this video after viewing a report by TimCast (Tim Pool) a Center-Left commentator. Link to his video here: YouTube

This is the news report from WCVB channel 5 Boston, an ABC affiliate:




According to the TimCast video, the three member group is seeking a permit for a one day event on 08/31/19 to march down the same route used by the Gay Pride parade which ends at City Hall, where they also hope to raise the "Straight Pride Flag" (seen below) for 3 hours and give some speeches.

Of course, "everyone" (i.e. those opposed to anything they consider "hate expression") per the TimCast video appears to be outraged at this effort.

I think it is hilarious; and if they are serious, then as both a free expression AND gay rights advocate I think they should be allowed to do so.

I do not believe arguments that claim those who are "privileged" lose their right to free experssion and the freedom of assembly. Non-violent free expression is a foundational principle of our society.

The essential idea is to allow non-violent freedom of expression for ALL viewpoints regardless of whether or not you agree with it; most especially if you don't agree. Else by limiting opposing expression you set a dangerous precedent which can eventually be used against you.

Meanwhile, these guys seem to be on a lark, or at worst testing the waters to see if our society is tilting too far to edge of totalitarian thought/speech controls.

So I say, let them be permitted and have their march. What say you?

Its probably anti LBGTQ but every moron has the same rights in the USA.
 
Re: "Group's plans to hold 'straight pride' parade in Boston." Do you support a permit or not?

Denying the permit would be an actionable item legally. The city granting the permit is just logical from a legal standpoint based on most anti-discrimination laws.

Everything the organizers have published said they were trying to stay super positive with their messaging, and I honestly hope it stays that way.

It's interesting to see something like this. I'll need to look into the motives and methods more to see what is at the heart of this matter. I find cultural phenomena like this to be very interesting.

I say that they should be denied their permit on the basis that three people is not a parade. Besides, straight folk don't need parades to make them feel better about being straight.
 
Re: "Group's plans to hold 'straight pride' parade in Boston." Do you support a permit or not?

I'm all for it. I will be interested to learn what support and validation they derive from this that they think society doesn't already give them.
 
Re: "Group's plans to hold 'straight pride' parade in Boston." Do you support a permit or not?

Gay pride.

Black pride.

White pride.

Latino pride.

Straight pride.


Get over yourself already. :roll:

Hey, straight pride, gay pride, black pride, white pride, Mardi Gras, it don't matter.

I just LOVE parades. Ka-ching!

Re: "Group's plans to hold 'straight pride' parade in Boston." Do you support a permit or not?

Yes, of course they can get a permit. But, then, I don't think anyone should have to get a permit to protest or march anyway unless they are going to shut down a street for it.
