Because they've never been #oppressed before, how am I supposed to score points by supporting them?

It's like going to the kid who got a participation award and then showing him your 1st place trophy. Pretty tasteless.

Well let's be honest. They're mocking the LGBT pride movement. It's not sincere.

Nothing wrong with being proud of yourself, according to the other side of the coin.

Celebrating it is almost as silly as being pissed that someone who is celebrating it

I thought it was a comedy act to be honest because i can never take them seriously and all they do is make me laugh. Originally Posted by GrinningMan

Hey man, there's competitive comedy. Doesn't -have- to be mutually exclusive. Originally Posted by Xada

I think it's more of a poke at the idea that some pride is okay and some isn't. Originally Posted by PRE 9-11

We don't have a parade to express our joy being ourselves. We have a parade to express our right to exist. We're told regularly that we should die, that we're abominations, that we're going to hell, that we're mentally damaged, and there are a host of countries where it is illegal for us to exist. Name one place where it is illegal for a heterosexual to be themselves? Yeah, now I hope you get it. Originally Posted by hachidori

I don't know..."I love vaginas" doesn't really have the same ring as "I love cocks!"

Well, there's that. Originally Posted by PRE 9-11

On the other hand, if I was heterosexual, no doubt I'd be tired of this. Celebrating a sexual orientation should not be a thing. What's the difference between a homosexual and a heterosexual? Only the gender of the person you love relative to yours. It's quite a bit stupid to give so much attention on something so unimportant.
But ultimately, I cannot condone the #HeterosexualPrideDay the way it is being used. It is being used as a way to ridiculize something that isn't ridiculous. You can come and say you think Pride day is over the top and I would agree. But to use a Heterosexual day during pride month is borderline homophobia. I'm sure the people behind this aren't homophobes though, just tired of hearing "Pride Month!" "Pride Day!" "Pride This!".
Sadly for everyone involved, some places even in the United States does not allow people to love who they love. As much as I'd love to say we don't have to yell it on every roof tops, as much as I hate to say we're not there yet.

[...] we have an intolerance for ideas and evidence that don’t fit a certain ideology. I’m also not saying that we should restrict people to certain gender roles; I’m advocating for quite the opposite: treat people as individuals, not as just another member of their group (tribalism)..
