As a bisexual person, gay pride absolutely shouldn't be shoved in straight people's faces in Western countries for a month straight

And as a matter of fact, the word "pride" should have been dropped from the beginning, since that's literally a sin, and why would you want homophobic people like some Christians to try to accept something that's literally a sin

I mean I'm fine w/ Christians as long as they respect me and don't constantly say hateful things and send me death threats

I don't get why many Christians use pride over vanity because pride is not inherently evil or bad

As a straight person, I'm not disputing that first part at all.

✅ Healthy Pride – Feeling proud of working hard, helping others, or overcoming challenges while staying humble and grateful.
❌ Sinful Pride (Hubris) – Thinking you’re better than others, refusing to acknowledge your mistakes, or placing yourself above God or moral principles.

feeling proud you made a good dinner that people enjoyed vs being a narcissist

Vanity is a far better term but it's used much less

I don't dispute that pride can sometimes be good. But I think it's not a good word choice. Something like "gay equality" would be better in my opinion.

Yes but then the straights would be even more like "OH MY DAYS I'M SO OFFENDED!!! YOU'RE EXCLUDING ME 1!!!!1!!11!!1!"

Men to this day STILL act offended that women have rights
I am not by any means a feminist but like jfc we are not in the 1700s anymore
2 ups, 1w
I mean personally I've never seen anyone even remotely mad at women having the same rights as men except for some super extreme hardcore right wing people online, but they're a vocal minority

people assume that "we need to celebrate LGBT" means "hetero people don't deserve anything:

also can we point out that like no one in the LGBTQ community has told u not to have pride abt being straight? Like no one is stopping you. We cant stop you from making a straight pride parade if u want, hell ill help u organize it. You want a straight pride month? Sure ill vote for it. You want a flag? Theres one for you already. Want a new one? Make one, ill help you spread the news.

I dont care what YOU do, i just care that WE are ALL equal. For most people this isnt a thing they really care abt, bc if straight pride was something they really cared abt then it would happen already and there would be rows of LGBTQ+ members ready to help them. No. This ijnst something that anyone cares abt, its just something thats a bullshit excuse for people to get mad at ppl who are different from them by saying "they get special treatment"

its literally a 3 year old throwing a damn fit.

You tell em babe, nice post

But nothing. Just because you have rights doesn't automatically mean that you're not marginalized for your identity anymore.

This is exactly why I oppose DEI programs trying to account for marginalized groups. They will never be able to perfectly execute equality without accidentally marginalizing another group

It is a matter of how much when it affects the vast majority of a community

Even the slight majority of straight cis people are n o t oppressed for their gender or sexuality
