I don't know why I'm laughing so hard, because it is utterly juvenile and immoral, yet Divine got away with it.

Except gay people have plenty of rights, probably even more than straight people do in today's day and age. I really don't care if you like pride or go to marches but I still think it's a gimmick for wanting special treatment and attention.

At a recent Pride festival in Idaho several dozen men were arrested for conspiracy to incite a riot. They wore riot gear and are believed to be members of a white supremecist group called Patriot Front. This is exactly why Pride festivals are important. Because there are still large swathes of people who propagate prejudice and violence against gay people. Protesting is one thing but inciting a riot is quite another. And as long as intolerance against the gay community exists we will find a way to provide a safe space without violence for people to celebrate.

While I don't attend them, nor really care too, you make a good salient point.
If the attitude of staunch straight people is to deride and undermine those that aren't, then they are going down a very dangerous path.
I can understand the pushing in one's faces of something that many can't relate too, yet many gay people may not relate to the Transgender/Intersex thing either. What has this got to do with fundamental sexuality?
These parades have now become more than just about homosexuality. This is what people need to learn to discern within themselves and not distort sexuality into something more than what it is. This is from both gay and straight counterparts.

It's just an excuse for whiny leftists to get as much attention as possible. I think anyone who marches in the name of pride is a massive **** personally.
Thank you for talking to me -

Some man attempted to organize a straight pride parade a few years ago and was loudly criticized for it so much that I think he ended up canceling those plans.
Did you know about this?
It wasn't like an anti gay thing at all.
I just don't see a problem with what he wanted to do.
It's the gays and the fag hags that did and were overly sensitive to his equal right to show his pride.
One of the problems with this country is how it has become so ****ing brainwashed by the PC Nazis that ONLY the oppressed and minorities can express themselves in public displays and no one else can in a harmless way and if they even think of it then they are scum for even thinking of it.

That is just a cop out when all you got is name calling instead of pointing out why you claim that or what is behind it which makes you look like the moron instead.
I am the better man since I am not going so low and calling you names.

You got triggered and had a meltdown.
We get it.
Thank you for being lazy to let me win this argument and to keep on showing how straights are better than gays since I am not the one with the name calling.
Cooler heads prevail.

And btw actually YOU started with the name calling with your use of the word fag. So go **** yourself, dummy.
And I’ve seen the dozens of threads about you being a moron. I never commented because you aren’t worth the time, but here we are: Time to comment.

If a dude is proud he is straight, all the best to him, but that is not what gay pride parades are ostensibly about. Straight people are accepted as "normal" in society and always have been. Gay pride is about those that have been shunned and persecuted by their straight counter-parts throughout much of history and all it is really saying, is that……
were here, were queer, get used to it!
Or so to speak if I was to simplify it.
The thing that has tainted gay pride though, is that is has all been lumped into that confounded alphabetical soup of LGBTQI whatever. It become about more than just being about homosexuality and a straight forward, (no pun intended), inherent natural sexuality.
One has to recognize Warren too, that it is the hets that are doing the breeding and need to take onus and responsibility for the humans they create and they are not going to all live up their limited expectations of what is perceived as "normal".
What do straight people have to feel proud about, when they have shoved their own sexuality into everyone else's faces and pretty much project that anyone who isn't one of us is wrong? How can a person be wrong about their being?
Not to mention that straight dudes can be boring as f<>k, though I have met some gay dudes that can be quite dull as well.

I think or suspect a reason for this straight pride parade that was suggested was that perhaps the organizer felt threatened by the new times of how much more we are hearing and seeing gays now.
Esp. since they got the right to marry.
I think they are now living in times, at least in America dunno about the rest of the world, where they don't have to hide nearly as much as they used to in the closet.
I don't think that should be the intent behind a straight pride parade or day or whatever though I do think one should have the right to express themselves if they want to as long as it is not harming anyone.
"What do straight people have to feel proud about, when they have shoved their own sexuality into everyone else's faces and pretty much project that anyone who isn't one of us is wrong? How can a person be wrong about their being?"
I don't disagree with that.
I think it is wrong when one gets killed or executed or murdered for their sexual orientation, as they do in Iran, or even if they have cheated or didn't please her husband sexually or just thinks of sex at all as they do with Sharia Law.
"She exposed her ankle when she scratched it under her burka. Stone the bitch to death!"
We have a hell of a long way to go when it comes to certain things that pertain to sex and the acceptance of those differences and I think it starts with men being big time super control freaks about it.

The west has more freedom's for expression and the younger generations aren't so prejudiced. If straight dudes are also feeling put out by other guys hitting on them, its just too bad as well. You just say "Thank you but not interested!".
I feel this is a large part of the insecurity of straight males, they don't like being confronted with this. How do they feel females feel then, when dudes are constantly hitting on them?
Somewhere like the Middle East and other Islamic dominated countries, this is the sick and toxic part of their cultures and all hiding behind a shield of this Allah thing. Its about control, dominance and the patriarchy gone to seed.

I have heard that justification before from a gay man who hit up on me once which figures since I was in the gay district known as The Castro in San Freakpsycho, when I lived there.
The reason why I feel offended by that rational is because I am not the type of guy or too shy to hit up on women in the same manner.
Like I would chat with her for a bit after seeing her at a few events or hang out with her as friends first or getting to know her for a bit before getting to first base.
I would just let things unfold or happen at a natural pace and then when it felt right hold her hand or go for the first kiss.
So I find it unfair to paint us all with the same brush as if we all approach women in all of the same ways.
I get it that a gay man does not know who else is gay or straight and there are the types that will just go for anything that moves just like how there are straights that do the same.
I assume there are also gay men who take a slow and steady approach as I do not by hitting up on someone they like right away but seeing how it goes and let it happen instead.
