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.
It sounds like the most cringe thing ever. So yeah, let them do it, I wanna see it (mostly to point and laugh).
He, more like hetero sausage fest
Ayooo
my wife came up with this
Honestly, if done without any hate to LGBTQ+, I’m all for it. We need a nice hetero representation, and hetero relationships are beautiful. This does include trans people forming hetero couples, and hetero-demi-/asexuals, and many more, so it can even intersect with LGBTQ+ in some cases.
All relationships and sexualities are beautiful, and hetero ones are no exception.
But I doubt it’ll be done this way.
id be ok with it as long as they don’t push it in my face
I don’t want to walk past and see them holding hands or anything
Holding hands implies they’re trying to have sex. A penis, in a vagina? How do I explain that to my 4 year old?
Most likely no one shows up.
Or worse, the intended demo shows up
Yeah, I’d say, if hetero people need an excuse to have fun and celebrate something, I’m all for it. But I have a sneaky suspicion that this is going just going to be used as a hatefest towards LGBTQ+ people instead. I would love to be proven wrong but I have a feeling that straight cis people who are open minded and accepting and not bigots, aren’t the ones who feel the need to go “what about straight pride / international men’s day?” whenever anyone else gets a bit of attention.
I’m cis-het and fully intend to go to the pride parade with friends in a different state. It’s going to be a great time! Idk why the largest groups feel like they need extra special attention.
I don’t think they do it for attention tbh
On the other hand, the concerns themselves are real, and if they will be addressed in a way positive to everyone else, this will be great!
So, we’ll see. Under current administration, the risks for it derailing into the hate fest are quite high, but fingers crossed.
I want you to say the same thing about black history month so you can understand how ridiculous this is.
is it just a bunch of white guys standing around talking about how potato’s are neat
Fyre Festival 3? They didn’t even have 2 yet
That’s the gayest sounding name for a festival.
Yeah… Methinks the lady doth protesteth too much
Three cool dudes looking for other cool dudes who wanna hang out in their party mansion. Nothing sexual. Fitness encouraged. If you’re fat, you should be able to find humor in the little things. Again, nothing sexual.
That should be on a flyer, but it should have an attention grabbing shape. Like maybe a bicept.
Don’t forget the veins
First thing that came to mind for me as well.
All the brodoser owners gonna have an orgy.
Most closeted thing I’ve ever heard.
Gonna be a lot of gross people that no one wants to fuck at that event.
I guarantee it.
What if they fuck each other?
while talking about how not gay it is
That’s… how Conservatives are made.
What if we took a page of Bob Barker’s book and have them spayed or neutered?
Eugenics is from the conservatives’ book.
Not originally, strangely enough…
Then they shouldn’t mind, right?
Then it would just be pride month ? That’d be ok I guess assuming everyone consents
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
This sounds like something a group of Incels would plan to get their buttocks to accidentally touch the buttocks of another young man.
And then like 3 people show up, because of course. They’re incels. They were never going to go anywhere.
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.
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.”
I’m a straight dude and would love to socially meet more hetero women… but this sounds like the lamest and (ironically) gayest event I’ve ever heard of. Guaranteed it’s going to be filled with ugly, un-fun, angry people counter-protesting. You know the type, critically concerned with what the fuck other consenting adults do…?
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
Straight people celebrating being the ones to perpetuate the human race give argument for not perpetuating the human race
I’m hetero, but I’m also happily child free.
But also I wouldn’t attend this event. If people want to be gay, be gay. If people want to be christian, be christian. If people want to be a dinosaur, be a dinosaur.
I don’t give a fuck what other people do. As long as they’re respectful to everybody, and don’t hurt anybody, that’s cool. You be you.
Except for Andy Dick, whose last name is apt.
False advertising! I want to be big strong fearsome dinosaur. Instead am fat disabled furry. 0/10 I’ll leave an angry review on yelp! And the bbb will be hearing about this!
Ehhhh, just hit the gym! You’ll get stronger.
Punched gym, broke hand. Worst advice ever 😭
I disagree. Fuck christians and all the fucking damage they do.
Nah, liberal Christians that don’t foist their beliefs on others are cool. I used to hate Christians generally for the myriad harms that religion has caused. But I’ve learned humanity is plenty capable of being shitty to one another and justifying it regardless of the belief system.
Happy child free, may I ask how old you are roughly? Because to me it seems that this number and that happiness correlate strongly inversely. People are more and more lonely. Less family, fewer siblings, no children, …
There sure are people of any age that are happy without children (or generally with or without anything). But since you mention this and me seeing that correlation: I have to ask. If you are 30 that is essential meaningless, like saying you do not care about pensions. If you are 60 both statements carry a lot more weight.

Very weird idea. Like, if you’re 30, you should be socking money away for your retirement, not relying on your kids to support you when you’re old. And also, by the time you are 60 you should have built up a large and supportive group of friends to make sure you aren’t lonely, not rely on your kids to keep you company. Pretty much no one I know between the ages of 20 and 40 lives in the same city as their parents, and they visit them once per year for Thanksgiving or Christmas. If you are having kids so you won’t be lonely… it’s a bad bet.
I said it has a very different gravity depending on how old the person saying it is. Do you agree or not? Why?
I’m 41.
You don’t need to answer that question. It’s bullshit.
Fwiw, I have only one ‘real’/local/irl friend that has children. They have been living in hell, to put it bluntly, for the last… 14 years. Everyone else is in a much better state of mind and happiness, and without children… so you could say from my perspective, that number of offspring is inversely related to the enjoyment of life. We can, have, stand back and say ‘holy shit, fuck all that’ - and so far, the message has stuck with the rest of us.
I feel sorry for the guy, I’ve known him for ~25 years, but he really could have solved many, many, many of life’s problems with the use of a few condoms. Like, so many… so fucking (heh) many. Now he’s stuck with a couple exs, a dead-end job, a couple of vehicles that are almost-literally falling apart, child support up to his eyeballs, and is headed towards his third bankruptcy. He nearly dragged me down trying to help him out financially. The rest of us are taking detailed notes of how life can go to shit with just one decision.
Really does not sound like children are the cause of the problems there.
It’s not the fault of the children, but it’s definitely because they had children. Two partners (two marriages) who had red flags the size of Texas, I was jumping up and down raising the alarm, and they still decided ‘let’s have kids, it’ll be great for our relationship’ which quickly turned into one side realizing ‘I can leave, sit on my ass, and collect child support while the dumbass works his hands to the bone’. And then he did it again with partner #2!
Ulterior motives and people being massive pieces of shit is the root cause, but putting their dick in crazy (twice) lit the fuse. Trying to be a good person (‘you don’t need to get an abortion, I can provide for us, I’ll get a second job…’) locked him into the scenario he’s now dreading.
Nice anecdote. How about you give some data for that instead of making people tell you their anecdotal ages?
