oy vey...another one who thinks the two are equal.
call me when the next straight pride parade occurs in the US.... by "the next" I actually mean "the first"
... and if that day ever comes, i'll sit here and call it stupid too.
Well, too bad. Some parts of the culture are for you, and some parts are for other people. You'll just have to learn to share like an adult.
That's also, by the by, why other people should share with you.
says the person who freaked the **** out over a few people wanting to march in DC with firearms.
so much for your "sharing" bull**** huh?
There already have been numerous straight pride parades in the US
while you are pretending that all things are equal...go ahead and provide a link.
This is precisely why the outrageous behavior certainly does not perpetuate stereotypes. Bigots perpetuate stereotypes by generalizing from the example. Which is a fallacy, and a mark of ignorance.Until a pride parade has anything that would be out of place during Mardi Gras or Carnival, I see no reason to complain at all. Public displays that include sexuality are hardly a new idea. Just those two and events like them include a lot of heterosexuality, or at least imagery that appeals to heterosexual males.
Pride parades are just being subjected to double standards that assume everything must be centered around male heterosexuality. They have no cause to tone anything down. We're just better off when we stop pretending that hetero men are the only audience that matters.
And if they marched without a permit, I'm sure you'd be OK if the police ran them down :roll:
Already did.
If they aren't hurting anyone, other than the sensibilities of someone watching, who, the parade is probably not aimed at, then who cares?
ahh.. you wiki link... that didn't back up your claim of straight pride parades occuring in the US.
...ok.:roll:
straight pride parades can't happen... liberals would freak out over such a thing happening.
I get sick of listening to straight people complain about, “Well, hey, we don’t have a heterosexual-pride day, why do you need a gay-pride day?” I remember when I was a kid I’d always ask my mom: “Why don’t we have a Kid’s Day? We have a Mother’s Day and a Father’s Day, but why don’t we have a Kid’s Day?” My mom would always say, “Every day is Kid’s Day.” To all those heterosexuals that bitch about gay pride, I say the same thing: Every day is heterosexual-pride day! Can’t you people enjoy your banquet and not piss on those of us enjoying our crumbs over here in the corner?
I read the best answer to this in the following link.
What Does A Straight Pride Parade Look Like? Ask Sao Paulo / Queerty
While it does occur, generally as an attempted protest of gay pride, it is completely unnecessary.
We heterosexuals aren't being held back from anything, such as marriage. We aren't told that we can't adopt a child just because some other people who don't know us and have no real knowledge on what is best for raising a child don't think it is right to allow us to raise children together. We weren't drug out of our homes or sent off by our parents to be abused, locked up, or brainwashed up until only about 40 years ago (some still happening in the form of "conversion therapy" in some places) because the relationships we want to be in are viewed as "wrong". We weren't put on some sex offender lists just for being heterosexual. Heterosexuals aren't fired for their sexuality. Heterosexuals weren't prevented from openly serving in the military up until last year.
so gays aren't actually celebrating their sexuality.. they are mad and protesting.
do you have feel some ill treatment to be prideful of your sexuality?... is that why liberals balk at the notion of equality in "celebrations?" .. they don't believe "normal" people have reason to be prideful?
meh, one day either all of these stupid "pride" things will disappear... or at least liberals will start to "share" like they pretend to do now.

First off, I love the GLBT community and I want gays to be out in public. Yes, I want an adult alternative for people to participate in. So hear me out before freaking out. In the past the gay pride parade needed to be in your face. It needed a brash we are here and queer and it is not going away attitude. Also, it was one of very few outlets which means all types were there and there was no good alternative for an adult thing. I guess this also would overlap on adult entertainment in straight society also. Some people want there to be more adult venues and it seems there is becoming a demand for kids free locations that are not just clubs or bars. That probably plays in here also.
Is it time to maybe make pride parades a bit more PG while expanding new venues for the adult exploration of adult gay life? In this aspect gays seem to be making the second half of that happen a lot more than straight people. I know of a few Adult gay celebrations on private lands and where kids are restricted that go on. There are a number of adult conventions that I know about many of which are heavily gay and alternate sexuality. This seems to be a great way to do things so you can tone down the pride events while promoting the adult events at something that draws a larger crowd. I have noticed a few of my gay friends who have now started to shy away from adult celebrations because they have children. There should be pride events that children of both gay and straight people can go to without getting a dick in their kid's face. perhaps the public nudity displays should not be holding up traffic for everyone. I don't want to see neked women or men lovin it up in the middle of the street while I have to get to work. I can understand that view.
Should the gay community be moving towards a more family oriented pride now that they are breaking through?
Gay pride = two sins.
Due to my Biblical beliefs, I don't think gay sexual relationships / gay marriages should be promoted or legitimized.

yes that would be great if we got to a point where they werent even felt to be necessary by people.
One day in the very distant future, maybe all the "pride" days will disappear. But as long as there those who would use some difference to try to oppress or hate others, then it isn't likely.
I simply don't care. If you wish to have a "straight pride event" go for it. No one is stopping you. But don't pretend that the gay pride events aren't for everyone anyway. Many of those who participate in gay pride parades are in fact straight.
that said, if these sorts of "pride" parades are to be accepted, then i think folks should learn to be accepting of other "pride" events
if one accepts gay pride, they should accept straight pride.. if one accepts black pride, they should accept white pride..... as a socialist here said we need to learn to "share"
( hehe, there's better odds of me winning the powerball 3 times in a row than that happening :lol
I can see by your avatar that you are sinning... well done.
