The issue with this is that straight people aren't a hive mind. There are plenty of straight people who don't exclude lgbtq+ people, so it can be frustrating to those straights when they are treated as if they're exclusionists.
@amoremudmud What I'm saying is that the people that say _“Hey you aren’t allowed here”_ often aren't the ones saying _“WhY ArE yOU ExclUdIng Us??”_ which is what the original comment heavily implies.
@@bro748 Actually, they are. All the people I've seen make the straight pride stuff are very much homophobic and that is them saying "get out", "why are you excluding us?" Most straight pride stuff is anti-LGBT in of itself. Things like pride aren't exclusionary to straight people who support LGBT people, you can come, have a good time, make friends. But straight isn't going to be added to LGBT because straight people already have all the rights of any sexuality, we do not need to fight for them.
Straight pride is basically the equivalent of that one kid who also gets a cake/present on another kid's birthday, usually because they're a spoiled brat.
Exactly! Homophobes and transphobes are always using the excuse that gay or trans people aren't natural because same sex couples and trans women can't bear children, when there are so many cis het women who are infertile or don't want kids. Their excuses just don't make sense!
@@handsomedevil2343 I know, but most can't bear children without medical intervention and for some reason, there are always people using that as an excuse to say that we're not nateral
@@annaconda1385 Most can't? Most trans and gay people can have kids, they just choose to adopt because it's easier and there's lots of kids who need homes.
I don’t have any problem with heterosexuals. Love whoever you love, I just don’t want them doing that mess in front of my kids. As long as they keep their straightness in the bedroom, it’s none of my business.
I was standing in line and I saw a guy buy "his and hers" mugs and my little sister was with me. I mean you can buy whatever you want, but just do it on internet so you're not pushing it on anyone.
Straight people are confusing our children. My two year old asked me why a girl at her school had one mom and one dad. This obviously upset me that she saw that so I complained to the school and they didn’t do anything. Do what you want, love who you love but keep away from our children and stay in the closet please.
straight pride is like a right-handed person complaining over a left-handed gets a special scissor for them, they can't use, while there is fifty right-hand scissors in the drawer. but he only see the left-handed thinking it not fair he have one, refusing to open the drawer and get one there fit him. also the class only have one left-handed scissor.
Straight is peobably the older kid who's also the golden child that gets everything they want. Meanwhile, Gay didn't get anything from their parents for a long time. When Gay got sick, their parents never took them to the doctor. Once gay got a little older they made friends with like minded people and formed an "exclusive club for outcast" where people hang out and play boardgames.
@@jordanmchighlander9365 Sadly, that is the way it often happens in families. The hard-working, athletic, straight sibling gets all the praise while the gay or trans sibling gets treated like an ugly duckling and constantly asked "Why can't you be more like them?" Thus explaining the high rates of depression LGBTQ+ folks deal with.
As a straight, cis person, i feel like i would go to one of these “pride” things and hold up a sign that says “as a straight person, I deeply apologize for the hetero stupidity that exist in this world”
Before I knew about aro/ace identities I was hoping for an A for ally (I am cis het), but after learning about aro/ace no way in hell I would argue ally is the more important A to include.
Me: gays Straights: gays Me: need S: need Me: recognition S: recognition Me: gays need recognition S: GaYs ArE gReEdY aF Edit: Just to be clear, I mean homophobes, not nessecarily straight people as a whole Edit 2: Tysm for 3k likes! (don't want to be that person but ty)
By the way, the person “redacted” was Brad Pitt. When they decided to make him the face of “straight pride” (without his consent) he essentially told them all to fuck off and not use him for hate. Props to Brad.
"If the LGBTQs get a month, then we get a month" "You have eleven" Incorrect! We have 12 since there's no problem with being openly straight in June. Looking forward to the time when we'll just share the whole year.
@Amelie Warneck Yeah, making art is basically the only thing keeping me alive at this point. (I'm an aromantic ace, no real relationship goals for me haha) Hope you will find your happiness for the rest of your time on this small rock floating in space!
"Thank a straight person for your existance" dude bi people, surrogates, adoption, the fact that sometimes gay people do have kids (like my step-grandpa)
Yeah but people “exist” because of straight people, surrogates that’s still straight because it involves sperm entering a vagina, if there wasn’t straight sex or surrogates people can’t exist
there was this really big asshole in my previous friend group and once he went on a rant about how kids shouldn't be exposed to gay things (this was all about not being able to get gay married on a Nintendo game), and we were a pretty recent group, so he goes straight to one of the other dudes and is like "Don't you agree? Tell her" Her is me. Anyway dude just looks at homophobic guy, and says while still playing games on his phone: I have two moms (he does in fact have to two moms)
This has the same vibe as this girl in my school who says “since there’s LGBTQ+ clubs, we should make a straight club” and more lgbtphobic things If only I wasn’t closeted at school... I would love to speak my mind to her...
No, as a straight cis person I can safely say we get 12, and we share one. And even then I'm pretty sure pride month is historically the most dangerous month for those who celebrate it.
@@smolcooki3670 Honestly I just want people to realise it's really, really bad pie. Like, look at it, it has maggots. Maybe we can like, make it socially acceptable to throw out bad pie and make new pies in a bigger range so that there can be lots of pies that everyone likes. Or for the oversimplification of this analogy that I feel I took too far to make sense: Social beliefs are like pie we exclusively give to other people. And bigotry is like a really bad gross pie. And we shouldn't make that flavor of pie anymore.
fun fact: i once tried to repost a “straight pride” post on the ole days of Google+ when i was like 12. five years later, now i’m a raging lesbian. character growth. 💪🏽🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
When I was about 10, my best friend asked if I was straight or gay. I didn't understand what gay meant, and thought she was talking about chest size (we're both girls), so i quietly go "straight?" Anyway I was really wrong. Like, really wrong.
Do American straights know that sexuality has nothing to do with nationality? And that there are straight people living in other parts of the world as well? :D
It's from the large subsection of American conservatives--read as most often white nationalists--the larger accumulation of their identities...they see as intersecting. Christianity, and whiteness are seen as "American." Straightness and cisgender...ness... falls in with those values. "Preserving what's true and right" for them is not about fact, but more about conservative opinion. Because of the intersection, these subjects are usually cross-represented in those circles. A Christian church with an exclusively white congregation? A white nationalist rally? All of the "American" stuff is on display. It's like a BYO ignorance party. One big Venn diagram mandala where, in the center, there's the deepest darkest pit of bigotry. And circle-jerking. So, it's less so about "American straights" and more so about white/religious elitists that are really insecure. They value straightness...so unfortunately...it's just *those* people. the 'Murica ones that are *reeeeeeeally* straight.
As a Black gay person, the "Straight Lives Matter" sign makes me furious! Straight lives aren't in danger, my life could be in danger if I happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. I live where Daniel Purde's death happened and there have been numerous protests, but I am too scared to attend them. These pieces of poop need to stop hijacking our movements! Edit: Holy cow, 1.0 k likes, thank you all so much! Knowing that there are suppotive people in the world gives me hope!
The problem with the terms normal and abnormal is that they're used to mean "good" and "bad," when really, "normal" only means "as usual" or "like most people." When it comes to people, there's nothing wrong with being different, and that is the bottom line.
I wonder if someone was intentionally selling the trans flag as a "straight pride flag" just to troll homophobes. Bonus points if they donated the money to an LGBT+ rights organization.
a few days ago, there was this kid in my gym class who was like “why do gay people get a month?” and so i turned around and explained to him that in some places it’s illegal, and that we couldn’t even get married a few years ago and he was like “well isn’t it a choice?” and that my dear people, is why we need lgbtq+ pride month. because of ignorant people like that. thank you very much.
IM GETTING A BINDER!! My cousin is buying me a binder and I'm so excited! My mom doesn't support me, and I don't have the money for a binder, so my cousin is getting me one and it's getting sent to a friend! It's pink, and really pretty! I made sure to get myself the right size and I can finally take the first big step in being myself!
What would straight pride even look like just black and white everywhere and like beer for sale 😭 maybe some weirdly specific Facebook targeted T-shirt’s in a stand tf
Im straight and cis and i absolutely love your channel Not only is your content funny but I feel really educated on trans and lgbtq+ matters! To me it’s obvious that we should learn about these things but I always find myself ✨correcting✨ my friends and family
If you are straight that's wonderful! If your gay, bi, pan or anything else that's awsome too! Like just love who you love we don't need to worry about what gender someone loves I'll be gay and you be straight and we can all get along.
I mean, it's correct. Straight cis rights are the standared of human rights, that's where everyone should be aiming for everyone to be. Getting everyone there is kinda one of the points of pride. So like, join and help get it there, then we can all just celebrate pride because it'll be about how we all did it, we all worked together and made the planet a better place. Oh, and along the way maybe there can be change towards how unbalanced things are between the poor and the rich? Like, sure, work harder and make more money than me, but don't then build society around helping those people with more money.
Like, okay, you can be happy that you're straight, but you can't hate on others who aren't or get mad because we're trying to stop people from oppressing us👀
"Look at me I'm straight and I'm so proud that my life has been easier because of it! Yay!" I'm a cis straight woman and I can't understand why they think we'd need or deserve a pride that makes no sense and it does feel homophobic and anti LGBTQ+ in general. ❤🧡💛💚💙💜 Love to everyone hope you are all well 🙏
Also, as a cis straight woman, I have never been excluded or felt unwelcome at a LGBTQ+ event. Like if you are kind and respectful and join in on having fun and enjoying local artists and stuff, you are still quite welcomed.
As a spongebob fan I can confirm this. And the people who thought he’s asexual means he can’t be in a relationship is honestly so funny they need to learn about that first. Just because he is ace doesn’t mean he can’t have romantic attraction
"It's not fair! I know this person's house is burning and has been burning for decades, but why do they get a month of putting out the fire? What about my house?! It's not on fire, but still!!!"
*Straight™ person with "straight" flag:* "Blue represents man, pink woman, and white represents purity." *Me:* "Please be the trans flag, please be the trans flag, please be the trans flag" Also, I just love how that t-shirt needed to add "I'm not gay" after saying "straight pride, proud to be straight."
My straight sister who is older than me still thinks straight is included in “the plus” So ya.... She just wants pride for being our society’s “Normal”.
as a completely cis straight male i found your video in my recommendations for some reason, but i’m so glad i did! It’s amazing to hear in first person someone talk about what it means to be transgender without being a complete asshole about it saying i need to “educate myself”! Much love and respect for you! 🖤🔥
WHY DO THEY WANT TO BE OPPRESSED SO BAD?? we made a place because they said we weren’t aloud with them and they are claiming we are “excluding” them EXPLAIN WHY YOU WANT HATE CRIMES AND TO FEEL SCARED FOR YOUR LIFE BECAUSE YOU LOVE/DONT LOVE SOMEONE
"Normal" is when you are perpendicular to all tangents at a point on a curved surface. Clearly these signs are trying to encourage educating children about geometry.
I love how the straights are like “well they get a month so we should” like actually that’s not fair. Cause we share our month as a community. It’s not gay men month. Then lesbian month, then bisexual month, then pansexual month, then ace month, then transgender month. And so on. So really them having an entire month to just them isn’t even fair by their standards!
You know what keeps me up at night? The thought that out of 7 billion people out there, at least one of them is trans and also identifies with being “super straight”😭
They say this as if marriage hasn't been declared straight for years, as if they don't have the full on privelege gay people don't. As if they get beat up on the streets for being themselves. As if they're denied simple things like a cake, as if they're denied adopting kids, As if, y'know, it's necessary. Hmm.
I don't understand why they would think they need a pride or deserve one.... it just feels rude and kinda like they are gloating "Look at me I'm straight and I'm so proud that my life has been easier because of it! Yay!"
The fact that they say Valentine’s day is straight pride day is hilarious to me bc that’s my grandpa’s birthday and he has a gay twin brother (who he loves very much)
It is theoretically possible for someone to discriminate against straight people. That said I can't think of any examples. I don't see the need for a straight pride day. As a straight person myself I am just puzzled. That said I can think of plenty of examples of anti-LGBT sentiment.
I knew a lesbian girl who was utterly disgusted and annoyed by anything involving a man and a woman together so yeah it kind of exists but it's not a systemic thing so it's not something to fight about. She was just a hateful person in general to anyone who wasn't exactly like her
girls: very much in love, married and kissing str8s: 100% platonic friends boys: exist in less than 5 feet proximity of eachother str8s: gay yaoi lol lmfao me: fml i hated writing that last part
I love seeing the special kind of identity crisis some people have about not being special in any way. Even when it means they don't have to be uncomfortable growing up in a society that doesn't always accept them.
Straights: STOP SHOVING YOUR SEXUALITIES ON OUR FACES Also straights: I AM A PROUD AMERICAN CHRISTIAN HETERO AND I'M NOT GOING TO BE OPPRESSING ANY LONGER! Honey if giving an important amount of information after careful consideration is "shoving" then you should also fight again judges
"oh right. the pride for the straights, the straights wanting a pride, the pride wanted specifically by the straights, the straights' pride... that pride?" "YES THAT PRIDE"
The Straights™ be like: "Why don't I get hate crimed?! 😭 Pay attention to me!!! 😢" and "Omg, I'm so oppressed!! Someone told me to shut up and called me a 'straighty' and a 'cissy' online, when all I did was say straight people should have a pride too!!! 😭😤😫😢"
Bostonian here, the straight pride parade was a mistake that only happened once. There was a plethora of counter-protestors. While I begrudgingly agree that the government should not be allowed to deny the right to organize, morally and logically this was absolutely absurd. Fortunately, protests are rather common here and there were plenty of people up for a good counter protest that day. I’m amazed there wasn’t a riot.
Do you have to do this with just obvious couples or do you also jave to include heteronprmative scenes that might indicate straightness? (Like a guy and girl hanging out alone)
Who else wants to go to a straight pride parade and march with signs saying "The power of Christ compels you to love all" and "It is Adam and Eve, not Adam or Eve" and stuff like that
Bostonian here. They originally wanted to use the same route the Pride parade traditionally uses, but the city denied it. They got a much, much shorter one, and it was over rather quickly cuz straight people don’t know how to party
Some straights are just never happy. They've got legal marriage, human rights ect ect. The list goes on. Why they wanna be oppressed so bad? also, loving the shirt combo Jamie :)
So they can call themselves victims and use it as a lever against the LGBTQA+ community of how oppressing we are... Which is kinda funny when we take into account how the Straights™ love to victimblame... But well... Can't help the hypocrites
Story time: I am a hetcis teenage girl and was born in a lgbtq+ family with a bisexual trans father, a pansexual trans mother and a non-binary asexual sibling and got bullied about it at school, especially by one boy two years older than me. Turns out that boy came from a homophobic household that pushed him to hide his true identity and make fun of me and my family. When my parents found out, they immediately took action. Fast forward three years and she is now a trans pansexual woman, currently dating my sibling. Let your kids be happy. Let them be who they want to be🏳️🌈
