That’s the gayest sounding name for a festival.
First thing that came to mind for me as well.
All the brodoser owners gonna have an orgy.
I mean, ok. Pride isn’t exclusionary. Most gay people have straight parents, siblings, friends and so on. If you feel the need to celebrate being straight, that’s cool. If you think you’re a victim because you are straight then I might suggest some therapy.
Hundred bucks says the grinder app’s going to get a lot of traffic that weekend. There’s going to be very busy bus station bathrooms, and maybe Airport bathrooms? I don’t know if they have airports in Idaho.
Self-loathing is a bitch
Yep profile name “ImNotGay69” and will cry when he finishes
You know what would be the fucking best thing ever? If everyone showed up and was totally supportive. Like those hateful bigots are all marching and hollering and then here comes the pride parade with hetero banners and signs saying “Heteros Are Awesome!” and other really positive shit. And they’ll be all like “We don’t want your support,” and we’ll be like “Fuck you, pride is for all!” And maybe like one or two of them would be like, “Oh…” and then the world is a better place for a moment.
For a moment I thought you were headed inthe direction of LGBTQ rebranding “All Lives Matter”.
Like some hateful biggot is chanting “DOWN WITH QUEERS” and then the Pride Parade marches in, and starts supporting them. And the hate parade tries to resist, and then the Pride people start saying they love everybody, and ALL lives matter. And then the hateful side says “WAIT! NO! THATS OURS, AND IT DOESN’T MEAN THAT!” And then the Pride people say “Too late! We’ve rebranded it now! We love you, baby!” And the hateful people are just confused like “what…what just happened??”
Or we can show up and convince them that there is an ongoing class war and politely let them know they’ve been used to fight themselves and that we have more people on our side of the class war.
I mean, my first thought was “Aww… sweety… yes, you are awesome. Have a cookie and let mommy watch her stories.”
Pride: “equal rights for all”.
Straight pride: “all people are equal, but straights are more equal than others”.
These things always feel like someone shouting “I have a birthday too!“ at someone else’s birthday party.
I like that analogy, might use it one day (⁀ᗢ⁀)
Next the WASPs are going to demand a St George’s day parade to celebrate English-American culture
This sounds like something a group of Incels would plan to get their buttocks to accidentally touch the buttocks of another young man.
Honestly, there’s no punchline better than this just being a thing.
The turnout will be about 10 people.
I dunno… there are a lot of hateful shitbag people out there
My generation called that kind of party a “sausage fest.”
And not the fun kind.
No patties at that sausage fest
He, more like hetero sausage fest
Ayooo
my wife came up with this
I’ve never seen it, but I’m already sure their flag sucks.
They hate rainbows so it’s just a white flag.
They should name it the White Pride Parade.
Actually, there has been a straight ally flag for quite a while now it’s not bad
So i looked it up and that without the rainbow ‘a’ is actually on Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight_flag
It’s resemblance to old prison uniforms is quite ironic:
It’ll just be a poorly-drawn bicep (for manliness) that looks suspiciously like a cock and balls.
Sounds like some insecurities need reaffirmation…
“No hate at all, it’s a love thing.”
But also LGTBQ+ people are “disgusting and criminal”.
Fyre Festival 3? They didn’t even have 2 yet
Please be all allies… Please
It’ll be filled to the brim with closeted gay men. Not allies, but not hetero either.
That would be ironic if more pro-LGBTQ people showed up and paraded instead.
Or the queerest bunch show up in their best rendition of straight acting, but you can tell the act is coming apart at the seams for shits & giggles.
Wouldn’t this be a good response to it tbh
Article says they guy putting it on is making an event to celebrate “family values”. So, no.
Family values… Like men and women having sex? Just call it “family fest” or something if that’s the case
Being a bit of a pragmatist.
I’m probably as liberal as they come but I’m also older. When I do vote compasses I’m always square in the social and fiscal liberal columns.
That said, I am friends with people from all walks of life and I can tell you the general consensus is that things have swung too far to the left and what we are seeing is a swing back to the right. It’s all a pendulum. I’ve had this conversation with pretty much every one from every background so it’s not just a white people thing. People need to understand that people from many different backgrounds being their own flavour of hatred and bigotry to the conversation. Asians are notoriously racist. Black people are notoriously homophobic (my African girlfriend doesn’t like my earrings or the fact I wear colourful socks for Christsake).
What truly amazes me is how fast and how hard the pendulum has swung the other direction in America and damn does it not look good. In Canada it’s swinging right but far more measured and the hope is not much farther.
Even as progressive as I am my daughter has an after school program called “Girls Inc” and I have thought to myself why don’t my sons have a Boys Inc to which the response in my head is it’s still a mans world and if I tried to make one I’d be accused of something negative I’m sure so I never pursue it.
I will say right now if the expression is “a rising tide lifts all ships” we have not been paying adequate attention to the ships that are not rising as fast or as much. This is what is causing the pendulum swings IMHO and without addressing the deep underlying and systemic issues it’s only going to get worse.
