Heterosexual pride day?

1. this is a 4chan prank.
2. if it mean i can walk naked in the street dressed in S&M suit and dancing on bad techno music without being arrested like people can in the gaypride then I am all for it.
3. If you look at history you should know everyone been persecuted by everyone.
It is a fact.
I still wait Italia to apologies for the ROman empire invasion of Britania.

So I was reading about this topic that is currently very trendy on internet. And I read the reactions from the gay community who is offended and highly affected that straights people could dare to ask for such a thing.

I know that hetero were not oppressed as gay were, but... refusing them a day pride when gay have it? isn't it discrimination? and hypocrisy?

I don't think anyone is refusing a hetero pride day - feel free to start a movement, and try to keep it going nationally for 46 years.

I think the LGBT community is doing both discrimination and hypocrisy while reacting negatively to that topic.

Stonewall riots - iirc, the hetero group never had to riot to be treated equally.

And I think discrimination can have multiple visages. Men too can be victims of sexism, white too can be victims of racist, and sometime I guess hetero can also be discriminated.

Yes, anyone can experience discrimination. The prevalence of who often does experience that discrimination certainly isn't equally distributed. Whether we agree or disagree with others outlooks on life - whether they be political, religious, sexual or whatever - shouldn't cause us to treat them with any less respect than we would want them to treat us with.

Unfortunately, that is definitely not the case for a lot of people who are openly homosexual. It is changing, but there are still a lot of people that proclaim equality, but when it comes to hiring, promoting, signing leases or other factors, silently discriminate against homosexuals.

I think people who are having fun standing up for their civil rights without harming others should be applauded. If they are clever and humorous like the SFW "Bears, Bath and Beyond" float at one Pride parade, then I have to chuckle and smile at the boldness and sense of camaraderie.

watching history:

Blacks have made many slaves, so did asians. Everyone has conquered and made slave the whole history was like that. It's not just White. I hate when people act like only white owned slaves, and I should make constants apologies about it.

The word "slave" itself is quite racist if you think about it. That one group - the Slavs - should become so frequently the property of other humans that their ethnic group was the defacto word for chattel is pretty sad.

It's not just blatant discrimination. Afaik, it's pretty much a shared experience of homosexuals that as soon as their sexuality is out in the open there is a shift in attitude from other people, and even well meaning ones often react slightly awkwardly: too friendly, too tolerant, too many smiles ... who would want that?

And diablo (apparently another fan of making absurd leaps), I said that because the sort of people who advocate for "heterosexual pride" are always (in my experience) the same kind of people who advocate for white pride. They're not doing it to celebrate an aspect of themselves, or to take a stand against previous or current persecution. They're doing it as an attack on those very people who are taking a stand against persecution.

It's possible you are one of that rare, mystical breed of people who are actually, for whatever reason, incredibly proud of being heterosexual. You honestly believe that having a day set aside to celebrate heterosexuality is in some way a positive thing. I don't buy it, though. I hear that the same way I hear my uncle Johnny when he says "hey, I'm not racist" after coming back from one of his Klan meetings.

Ask yourself, who exactly are the people talking about this "trendy" idea? Is it the same conservative jackasses who are always attacking homosexuals? Gee, I wonder. (And for those playing along at home, the answer is OF FUCKING COURSE IT IS.)

Being sincerely, unironically proud of your homosexuality or heterosexuality is absurd.

What if the original stance is shame and the display of pride is an act of defiance against this?
Might that make it less absurd?

The way I see it, being homosexual or not is roughly as important as hating broccoli or not. One's preferences in sexual appetite shouldn't be viewed as significantly more important than one's preferences in plain old appetite.

I completely agree, I'm just not convinced this stance is the common default. Depends on local culture I suppose.

I don't think Gay Pride is so much about being proud of being LGBT as it is about not being shameful of being LGBT.

I already asked, but I guess I have to ask it again:
What would be the purpose of Heterosexual Pride?

Nothing, I wouldn't want an Heterosexual Pride parade. I just made this thread to show that people are hypocrite at time, which is why there is so much discrimination in the world.

Some people have a pride parade for them, and get offended if other community would get the very same thing.

I get sick of being told I should shut my mouth because I'm straight or because I'm a white man. That's actually very offensive and that's discrimination.

I'm just trying to show that people who are victims of discrimination are also doing some bad things around them.

I am aware that homosexual are victims of discrimination. I just want people to realise that every single person can be victim of discrimination, and they are not special. Getting a priviledge like that and refusing to other of being proud of who they are is very bad.

Interesting - never happened to me and I never heard about that
