    You know what would be the fucking best thing ever? If everyone showed up and was totally supportive. Like those hateful bigots are all marching and hollering and then here comes the pride parade with hetero banners and signs saying “Heteros Are Awesome!” and other really positive shit. And they’ll be all like “We don’t want your support,” and we’ll be like “Fuck you, pride is for all!” And maybe like one or two of them would be like, “Oh…” and then the world is a better place for a moment.

      I mean, my first thought was “Aww… sweety… yes, you are awesome. Have a cookie and let mommy watch her stories.”

    Honestly, if done without any hate to LGBTQ+, I’m all for it. We need a nice hetero representation, and hetero relationships are beautiful. This does include trans people forming hetero couples, and hetero-demi-/asexuals, and many more, so it can even intersect with LGBTQ+ in some cases.

    All relationships and sexualities are beautiful, and hetero ones are no exception.

    But I doubt it’ll be done this way.

          Holding hands implies they’re trying to have sex. A penis, in a vagina? How do I explain that to my 4 year old?

      Yeah, I’d say, if hetero people need an excuse to have fun and celebrate something, I’m all for it. But I have a sneaky suspicion that this is going just going to be used as a hatefest towards LGBTQ+ people instead. I would love to be proven wrong but I have a feeling that straight cis people who are open minded and accepting and not bigots, aren’t the ones who feel the need to go “what about straight pride / international men’s day?” whenever anyone else gets a bit of attention.

        On the other hand, the concerns themselves are real, and if they will be addressed in a way positive to everyone else, this will be great!

        So, we’ll see. Under current administration, the risks for it derailing into the hate fest are quite high, but fingers crossed.

    I mean, ok. Pride isn’t exclusionary. Most gay people have straight parents, siblings, friends and so on. If you feel the need to celebrate being straight, that’s cool. If you think you’re a victim because you are straight then I might suggest some therapy.

    Pride: “equal rights for all”.

    Straight pride: “all people are equal, but straights are more equal than others”.

      These things always feel like someone shouting “I have a birthday too!“ at someone else’s birthday party.

    Hundred bucks says the grinder app’s going to get a lot of traffic that weekend. There’s going to be very busy bus station bathrooms, and maybe Airport bathrooms? I don’t know if they have airports in Idaho.
