"Neither 'Gay Pride Week' nor 'Straight Pride Week' should be observed,"
nakedemperor said:Does anyone have a problem with St. Patty's day parade? Or the Puerto Rican day parade? Etc?
The "straight pride pride week" is completely reactionary to "gay pride week", a minority celebration that doesn't seek to villify or attack the majority. If minorities want to celebrate their solidarity, fine, I could care less, but when other people have "pride weeks" merely condescend to a minority, it just looks petty and stupid.

1. Any holiday or observation intended to demonstrate support for any group no matter how small or large is exclusionary.
pegwinn said:2. Reactionary is in the eye of the beholder.
pegwinn said:3. Discrimination is in direct proportion to the lawyer you can afford and the lobby already in place.
pegwinn said:4. The fact that a minority exists at all indicates a majority that must be at fault. By staging a "majority" rally, we publically cast away the guilt that the minority paid for in item three.

Feel better now.......

The test of a special interest obervation is how some react to the opposite question.
If contemplating a "black pride day" how would most look upon a "white pride day". Obvious answer is that WP would be considered racist. But BP is "cultural". Both are wrong and neither should get a pride day.
nakedemperor said:I think anyone should be able to have a pride day or week or whatever. Nothing wrong with celebrating who you are, your ethnicity, your culture, your race, your age, whatever. But when your celebration is borne entirely out of a percieved need to "respond" to another group's celebration (forget minority/majority issues), of course your motives can and should be called into question.

It does look stupid; this week is the start of African American history month. How many of us are ready to march in the "white pride" parades, during this month?
THERE IS NO LEGITIMATE THREAT TO HETEROSEXUAL RIGHTS HERE IN AMERICA!
Therefore, there is no basis for a protest (or a parade) of that nature; for we, the vast majority, (the heterosexuals) are well in control of this country. This was not a legitimate parade; it was a mockery and an blantant exploitation of the 1st Admendment.
Hey, I'm a Michigan man, why don't I set up a "Michigan Pride" parade in Columbus, Ohio. While I'm at it, set up a "We northerners had kicked your ass" parade in Atlanta!
If you start respecting shit like that, then we'll be up to our armpits in stupid "pride" parades, specifically designed to invoke taunting, discrimination and potential violence. Is that what you want?
