I think we should. I'm not asking for one; it's the principle.

If gays, bisexuals, etc., can have their month, straights can too.

Let's talk about it.

I don't have time to go into detail on this yet (exam in a few days) but link.

Like lol the point of "gay pride" and "black pride" etc is the fact that these minority groups have been persecuted for centuries, or even millenia - they're celebrating the struggle of the thousands of people that came before them that allowed them the life they have today. To even be able to make the statement "I'm gay" in public is something that could not happen a century ago, and yes, is a point of pride. It's the result of the painful, consistent effort against the discrimination that has indirectly (or even directly) taken the lives of so many LGBT people.

What comparable struggles have straight people overcome- simply for the fact of being straight - that deserve the same sort of bittersweet reflection and celebration?

The term "straight pride" was originally coined as an argument criticising gay pride as unnecessary, stating by contrast with heterosexuality that heterosexuals "don't talk about straight pride" don't have "straight pride rallies" (yeah, because we don't need to). Somehow it's morphed into people thinking we actually need "straight pride" events? It's a really weird form of pseudo-intellectualism IMO, like it sounds logical for about two seconds, but so much as scratch the surface of it and it becomes ridiculous.

Less importantly: LGBT people actually have somewhat of a subculture, and this factors into the celebration. There's no such thing as "straight culture" lol.

Anyway tl;dr - Ban heterosexual marriage and lynch a few straight people before you try hold a "straight pride" parade 🙃

I don't feel very strongly about this either way around.

Tbh in general I'm not a fan of pride months. I think a lot of my resentment comes from being a bitter ace who has seen many LGBT members actively shit on aces and declare that pride isn't for us and that we're basically just straight people anyways. Got to the point where I don't even want to celebrate pride because I've gotten shit for being ace from both the LGBT and straight people.

Idk, I just don't like the gatekeeping and ace hate that tends to happen around pride month.

That said, I don't feel like straight people need a pride month. The way I've interpreted pride months is that they are for people who have had to overcome struggles because of sex, sexuality, or race and things of that nature.

Honestly I think you can celebrate being straight and being proud by yourself cos all power to you, but like...I dont think it needs a straight pride month because as PrincesTale said, its about celebrating being able to happily and pridefully state that you are one way and are proud of it and you aren't scared to mention it as well as a safer place to be able to speak up about it.

Truthfully I never really got it even though I am bi since I really never gave a shit about my parent's opinion of me at least in the regards of if they accepted me or not, but a few things in my life have really made it apparent how hard it is to live a life hiding a lot of what you are due to judgement and all that crap so I sympathize with those that are in LGBT and have struggled to get their freedom, comfortability, and all that with their self and their identity without having to feel judged against or scared over how people might think about them or if they will get actually attacked in one way or form.

As PrincesTale said, pretty much I say if you want to have your own one day festival, go ahead and be proud about being straight, but firstly you don't need a whole month, and secondly, don't be an asshole and put it in the same time as LGBT pride month.

Respect the month man. There have been so much bullshit people have gotten over their sexuality and a lot of fear and abuse that were put on LGBT people that its a bit ridiculous.

Its not "I am proud that I am Homosexual" like I feel a lot of Straight Pride people feel. Its more "I am proud that I and the people like me have been able to struggle all this much to be able to be even remotely proud of my identity."

I don't care. People can celebrate whatever the hell they want to. #HappyBuyNewSocksWeek

^ #HappyZanarchyDay it's like the purge but without government permission. Celebration is not a choice.

^Give me a date and I will mark it on my calendar. Immediately.

We don't need that. But at some point in the far future we might.

First full moon in August.

I celebrate my pride of being a cat everyday.

Basically what ThePrincessTale and Riku114 said. I think of pride as defying the society that for ages, was genuinely oppressive towards the LGBT community, not merely "I'm proud of my sexuality, which I couldn't help to begin with" - just, "I won't be ashamed of it, or told to keep silent because it makes others uncomfortable."

If they want to celebrate straight pride, I won't get in their way - it's well within their rights, and I hope people won't try to silence them by force.

Also, zanhar1, I agree. It makes me so mad how aces are treated, and I honestly don't understand the hostility. I hate how common it is, and it's so hypocritical. That attitude reminds me what I don't like about pride - or how some "celebrate" it, by being assholes who choose to alienate others.

@ThePrincesTale @Riku114 @NightFrog Pretty much !!!!

As others have said you're kinda missing the point.

Was going to make a comment but everyone else beat me to it.
