On the issue of straight pride; why it is wrong Disclaimer; I don't believe straight people shouldn't love themselves or be proud of who they are Okay. So first let us understand why the pride movement exists. Pride was created as a protest of oppression. Lgbtq people didn't have equal rights, so they take part in pride parades ect. to prove they are human. To make themselves known. Now, if that is the purpose, why are we adding straight people to the mix? Straight people are not oppressed. We have already achieved equal rights. What straight pride does is it dulls the issue. It is a distraction from the main point. Straight pride, as used in activities such as pride parades, is wrong. Straight people are socially accepted. It is not considered wrong to be proud of being straight, but lgbtq people are denied rights, shunned for their sexual orientation. This is why they have pride. To tell the world they won't change for them. To insist upon change. So straight people, who don't need this change and don't

face this oppression shouldn't have the same pride.
