It be a shame if bisexuals (Specifically ones in hetero relationships) and (Straight) trans people raided the parade because of technicalities.

Actually, yeah lets do that.
Assembling the parade raid party now


Also if the Pride Parade has the rainbows, what's straight pride going to have? black everything?

How about we just ignore them and go on with our lives and not give them the attention they are seeking?

oh yes finally my kind of parade

Now Im not saying Tommy McMurtry is sexually attracted to Pumpkins
Im just saying we dont really know

straight edge parade

Quote: Carmelita Fox

straight edge parade

I definitely looked up "Straight Edge" to find a picture of a a straight edge and post a picture here but I was not ready for what I found

Lol you're not helping

Ah yes, the parade of ugly, insecure manbabies with fat bellies and ugly beards. They'll try to compensate their lack of style, or any sense of love, by having guns and chanting the same Nazi language they've been doing for their Unite The Right and Proud Boys marches. With this ****, those bloody TERFs and all those anti-LGBT laws passed by Donald "I might be cheating on Melania for Ivanka" Trump, this year's LGBT Pride month is more like LGBT Rage. Stay angry, my friends.

Happy Straight Pride. May you shoot blanks and suffer from erectile dysfunction forever.

That's a very good point. I think that the point of this thread is to make fun of those who do. What other people do in the bedroom is none of our business as long as it is consensual. Even animals have different sexual orientations. Would you rather hang out with someone who is like "Hey look, I'm gay!" and rubs it in everyone's face and lets it define most of their character or someone who is like "Check out this cute cat/dog video I found on Youtube." and shows that they care about their friendship with you. Most gay people seem to be pretty normal and usually don't bring up their sexuality without context and I appreciate it greatly. Straight people don't normally do it neither. Without the increased visibility thing, the gay community would probably be getting more normalized, which was the whole point of the movement in the first place. This majority of people who don't flaunt their sexuality is far more genuine than those who do. The people who do flaunt their sexuality around like lunatics are some of the most fake and toxic people around.

The point of this thread was to laugh that SJWs are starting to trigger non SJWs into making fools of themselves.

Like legit there are homophobes actually wanting straight pride, even though the purpose of pride is to celebrate diversity one month a year where there are currently still countries that make it illegal for people to be themselves.
Name 1 time it was illegal to be straight

im going to preface this with the fact that, as a bi trans person, pride parades in general make me very uncomfortable, but that's because they (especially in my area) are so oversexualized that its basically a porn parade. itd be totally fine if the number of flashing incidents declined by at LEAST 90%.

HOWEVER

i dont see any issue with the concept of the parade itself, especially when its people that have been fighting to be themselves for sometimes decades. iirc, there are parades for entire nationalities, why not a pride parade? they allow people who would never meet under other circumstances celebrate who they are under one banner. no matter who you are, you're allowed there. straight allies even often participate just to make the festivities bigger!

contrary to popular belief, if pride parades didnt exist, an entire subset of people would not have any representation in the public eye, which would just make persecution worse. we struggled for decades just to have positive LGBT characters in television and movies, only to just recently get it. the same goes for pride parades.

side note, what is up with dS and pride month? this is the absolute saltiest ive seen a spyro forum be over some gay people being happy to be themselves

what do you mean the kids at the pride parade don't want to see my husband in full bdsm gear ... are they queerphobic or something????

talking about sexuality problems online will do wonders

Next we are going to have white history month.

This is a comment

Tbh I don't really celebrate pride... Could be me being like "okay neat" and actually celebrating when my friends are finally open about it. I get it's a awareness of sexualities and such, but...idk how to put this into words without sounding like an ass. But I see a lot of people like celebrate sexualities all year round (That aren't straight. Even though other media shows plenty of straight stuff), which is fine just like... What's the purpose of this month? Because it seems more like aggressive celebration than the all year round.

Actually I don't recall many people celebrating the **** out of Black history or Autism Awareness month, like they do with pride... Which people can exceptionally benefit from as well (Assuming you get education from actual people and not the KKK and Autism Speaks).

Also as a person that would be a casual bisexual that wants to know who their partner is before dating.

-Bisexuals can/are being treated by Gay and Straight people with sheer biphobia (IE one or the other deal)

-Asexuals more than bisexuals are treated like ****ing ass by everyone

I don't think I want to celebrate with mega assholes that would be in the same community that I am in (especially if they flashing... Seriously wtf? Fix that, that is either public indecency or sexual assault on my eyes.).


I hope you guys don't take this the wrong way, if you celebrate, you do you. I'm just sitting here thinking.

It's in June to honor the stonewall uprising of 1969.
The purpose of the commemorative month is to recognize the impact that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals have had on history locally, nationally, and internationally.

This is better phrased than my post. While I am not LGBT myself, I don't have a problem with people who don't magnify their sexuality as if it is the most notable thing about them. It probably isn't. I think I already clarified that. If you are in a good romantic relationship, good for you. What gender the other person is is irrelevant except to you. It is believed by some that da Vinci might have been gay, but that's not what he's remembered for. I am an individualist and really don't like to give people special treatment based on their membership to a certain group. This is what certain parts of the LGBT community are obviously trying to do. It violates my very core principle of treating different people differently based on their character. Equality to me means not basing this different treatment on things that aren't relevant to the quality of their character. You wouldn't talk about sports to someone who doesn't like sports or science to someone who doesn't care about science. Of course, I try to treat people in general with respect. It just becomes much harder when those people violate one of your very core values.

Okay... How come it's super blown up? I mean February is the month where cool black people stood up to racism and they don't get a parade for each individual that did cool things to better the lives of a race of people.

Also for bolded, how come asexuals aren't there then? They made an impact I am sure and are part of the LGBT+ community.

They host multiple parades for Black History Month in multiple cities you know.

Biphobia and Aphobia is a very real and unfortunate thing within our own community, but I don't see why you have to generalise that. I've been to a parade before, most of the people there are like, normal people that are accepting of bisexual and asexual individuals and not the weirdos you see online. There's probably a few of them there yes but it's unfair to generalise that to everyone else at the parade.

The Stonewall Inn has a lot of rainbow flags on the front wall, and sometimes it has a bunch of little flags for each identity, and they do in fact have the ace and bi flags btw. Pride parades have plenty of support for bisexual and asexual individuals as well. I specifically participated in a bi booth last year and also saw many booths selling merch featuring bi and ace colours. I also saw plenty of people wearing colours where some featured the bi and ace flags.

The gross kinky stuff you see is a real problem at the parades though and I wish that would change.

^i was gonna say all this stuff too but iceclaw covered it

For bolded, I didn't know that. My bad I'll do my research next time.

Wasn't really trying to make people uncomfortable with my accidental generalization. I do know that there is super chill actual people that are 100% okay with bisexuals and asexuals. Maybe I should have chilled out and collected my thoughts to word myself better. I should probably go to a pride event some time.
