Okay, first off, posts like these oppress straight people within themselves. It makes no sense! Why would you say my sexuality hasn’t been oppressed, by oppressing the same people you say haven’t been oppressed? You’re the reason we want a Straight Pride Movement.

Secondly, we want to be treated equally as a member of the LGBT community. I’ll admit, there are people who still hate the gays, but they’re either driven by religion or are baby boomers.

Thirdly, “Pride” is a liquid term, meaning it can mean anything. People affiliate Pride with feeling prideful about overcoming obstacles, and yeah, I tip my hat to that. But a point still stands, Pride can mean, “Oh, I’m prideful that my sexuality has overcome these obstacles to be integrated into society,” AND “Oh, I feel pride in being straight! I want to express it!” You don’t need to overcome obstacles to feel good about yourself. Granted, it would help, but it’s not necessary. I can feel Pride in my genes that give me a higher metabolism, and I didn’t have to any work.

So there, that’s my opinion. It may not be ideal in your standards, but it’s mine.
