    First off, I am in now way homophobic. I have wondered though what the reaction from the gay community would be if there was a heterosexual pride day where people marched on the streets and shouted their joy to be straight? If it ever happened, would those involved would be seen to be anti-gay. Again, I would like to stress that I am not homophobic. Would just like to hear opinions.

    Perhaps heterosexuals dont feel the need for such a show

    Never.

    It's Adam & Steve, not Adam & Eve!

    My opinion is that it would come across as trolling.

    Anyways, nobody's totally straight. We all have a little gay inside us :D

    White heterosexual male pride day.

    Can you imagine how that'd go down? Especially on boards.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,494 ✭✭✭✭My name is URL


    But being straight is the socially accepted norm. Hence the reason for Gay Pride marches and so forth... it's an attempt for those groups to attain social acceptance and equality.

    The idea of a straight-pride event is completely stupid and only ever trotted out by those who refuse to acknowledge that gay people are treated differently by society.

    I was going to write out a reply but to be honest this sums it up perfectly.

    What need is there for straight people to take to the street and celebrate their straightness? Most people are assumed to be straight unless they show they're not.

    A straight pride march would have a lot of closet dwellers if you ask me!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,295 ✭✭✭✭Duggy747


    Would be just another parade with shìte music and stereotypes of what it means to be hetero..............probably some guys acting like alpha males, kissing their muscles going:

    "Do you even lift, brah!?!"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,363 ✭✭✭✭cantdecide


    What about a Non-Affiliated Individual Pride parade?

    straight people are allowed join in gay pride events
    also i'm pretty sure its to do with making people feel good about being gay which for a long time they were put down over

    two men having relations was a jailable offence until 1993 afaik

    We're really not flamboyant enough. It could be the WORST PARADE EVER.

    Surely gay people have no control over it either?

    Precisely

    But homosexuals are being socially accepted more and more every day. Will there come a day when they have more rights than heterosexuals? An example is some police forces have a quota of how many African Americans they have to employ. So if a job becomes available and they need to fill the quota, they have to give the job to an AA regardless of the ratio of black/white applicants or suitability for the job. Surely this is discrimination against the white applicants! Another example is Jamie Fox. If a white person were to say the things he has said about black people, there would be uproar. Johnny on the x factor. If a straight person behaved the way he did, they would have been kicked off the show.

    PS I am not homophobic or racist!
