People celebrate hetro love as a whole. The vast majority of society approves of us pairing up. Pride is about the people who don’t get celebrated when they pair up.
You wouldn’t go to a funeral and start complaining that there are other people in world that also had meaningful lives. You let them have their day.
So when people make these straight pride stuff it’s basically saying having 11 out of 12 months a year wasn’t enough, we need to have the last bit.
And yes I am straight. I just understand for the roughly 2% of the human race that isn’t they should be able to have normal lives.
It also depends on the context. Having that day not be inside pride month would do wonders as well. It would turn the event into an “Also” rather than “Instead of”
I don’t think anyone asked you for your opinion on it. I do remember you asking how it was a dog whistle. Maybe you have a bigger horse in this race than you let on.
No, not really. Like I said, genuinely curious. I do not see how a tiny nothing bar offering free beer in Idaho can be a dog whistle for hatred to gather. Anyhow, thanks for the response! Have a nice day!
Who cares? Lol, why does this make people so upset?
I care because just like all lives matter, this is a dog whistle for discrimination and repression of minorities.
Is it though?
All lives matter yes. But I need to see more about hetero day. I can get on board
How? I’m genuinely curious; I don’t really have a horse in this race.
You don’t see how hosting a non-existent counter-event to the very real pride month is an inherent rejection of said pride month?

Depends on your locale
I live in San Francisco. If the Castro (gayest neighborhood in the world) did a “Straight Recognition Day” I think it would be fun.
Iowa or Kansas or something? Not so much.

I agree, that’s a good point
Not really? It’s such a tiny thing compared to pride month that’s it’s silly to focus on it tbh
So you think that it isn’t a dog whistle because… not enough people showed up and too many people are aware of it existing?
I think it’s a tiny, stupid, Itty bitty thing, and you are focusing way, way too much on it, yes.

I agree. Honestly happy for them. I mean us.
