Would the straight pride flag be a desaturated rainbow?

I'm more curious as to why we can't have a straight only Olympics. The gay games are OK so why not straight?

Please tell me this doesn't actually exist?

Hmmm, how does your boyfriend feel about this?

Pride is about a minority standing up against discrimination.

Straight people aren't a minority. I am glad you came to us with this entirely genuine question and that we were able to answer it for you, but I'm not sure it required its own thread.

Wait, so I can only be proud if I'm a minority? Eh?

Or various shades of beige! It will look splendid.

Black Grape had a whole album about it - 'It's great when you're straight, yeah!' - so that's us covered. Let the LGBT have their Barbra Streisand…

There should be a Pride Parade, just for us to march and celebrate being proud. Be it pride of ones sexuality, nationality, ethnicity, hair colour, or stamp collections (I am most proud of mine). We can all march the streets with our flags (and stamp collections) in the air. The party would never stop, the drink would be flowing and music filling the streets (and stamp trading) untill all hours of the night.

Oh what a wonderful day Pride Parade would be.

Everyday I look at my pale, freckled skin, jiggle my ball sac a bit, pat myself on my lardy belly and think to myself, 'Dude, I rock…'

Because straight people don't get beaten up for holding their partner's hand.

Are they though? Not every person who voted no was/is an awful person. They just had different belief systems to you (and me for that matter).

Just like Hitler's belief system was that Jews are the scum of the Earth.

Since when did it "being your belief" make it ok?

Or we could be stereotypically Irish and have a "Shame Parade," where we all march with our heads down and mutter about how crap we are at everything.

You know we're talking about Pride with a capital P, the social movement to raise awareness about discrimination, not pride, the emotion?

As for Straight Pride, Gay Pride, Black Pride, White Pride, etc; it's the categories that we put ourselves in that keeps us apart. Everyone is different and it's a great thing to be proud of your difference but it is also the thing that keeps people separated. I'm a straight, white woman and I'm no different to a gay, black man. We are both people and isn't it great that we both have the capacity to love another person. How about People Pride?! Hopefully not too many animals will feel left out.

The people who voted no weren't necessarily homophobes or awful people, but the people who ran the No campaign were unspeakable.

And lumping gay pride in with white pride is monumentally offensive. I'm a straight while cisgender male, and in terms of how I get treated by the rest of the world, I'm massively different to people who don't fit that description. I have never been scared that I might be assaulted for holding my wife's hand in public. I have never been assumed to be a potential criminal because of my whiteness. I have never been treated as a woman on the basis of the genitals I was born with. I have never had my opinion treated as less valid because I'm a man.

Pride from a minority perspective is a reaction to decades or centuries of social structures and norms that define those minorities as inferior. Pride from the perspective of those in power is a reaction to demands for equality. They're not remotely the same.

If you can't have your feelings hurt, based on what you are, you don't get a parade.

Perhaps the OP can give examples of times/places where hetrosexual people have faced stigma, oppression, discrimination, persecution and violence on a massive scale ?

Na thought not.

Clearly the poster means on the basis of their sexuality. So provide examples of that.

Take your best shot.

But only if you really want to be monumentally offended.

My intention was not offend, it was to show that all the boxes we put ourselves in, all the labels we use, serves to separate us from each other and make us only see our differences. We seem to be losing sight of the fact we are all people regardless. All flesh and bone. It's celebrating our sameness that will change the world, not our differences.

Can someone please explain to be what in the f*ck cisgender means?

It basically means the opposite of transgender. You're born into the gender you were meant. You use it to add another layer of guilt to all the juicy privilege you've been afforded in life.
