I hope this catches on. I want a sexual deviance pride day where we can all have wild kinky sex in the streets. That would be a parade that everyone would attend.

I would celebrate naked day. Sometime during mid Spring to early Autumn naturally. Go to the park naked-day. Modesty chains the spirit.Clive Howlitzer said:
Not really, no. A massive amount of people in the West, maybe not a majority but not far from it are opposed to gay rights. Gay marriage remains a contentious issue, the US military only let openly gay personnel serve a few years ago, people complain about representations of gay people in TV and movies.shinyelf said:
Now, the ones that hate gay people to the extent of wanting to shoot up nightclubs are fortunately rare[footnote]And without getting too far into it, there's no reason to assume mentally ill, unless the people of Germany before WW2 wanting to "do something" about the Jews et al were mentally ill, became more mentally ill when Hitler rose to power and much less so once he was defeated[/footnote], but there's plenty of people who wish that gay people would just not be around. That's why gay pride marches are important, they don't directly challenge murderers, but they do challenge the quiet majority of homophobes wishing they could pretend gay people didn't exist.
Can I get a tall person pride day? And a blonde person pride day? And a green eyed pride day? Because I want people to pay attention TO ME! I DESERVE IT THE MOST!
This is a brilliant idea. We should have it at the same time as Free Beer and Ribs day.PaulH said:

When was the last time someone tried to kill you for being heterosexual?Rastrelly said:
How often do people try and "fix" your heterosexuality?
What rights do you lose as a heterosexual?
How has being heterosexual impacted you in any meaningful way?
Pride exists because we're told we should be ashamed. And worse. Discriminated against. Hurt. Killed. That was the point of the original post. Poor heterosexual people, they have suffered so much for being heterosexuals. It's about time they got some recognition for everything they go through.
I'm sorry, but neither of those are majority traits. That would be special attention. That's racism or something.erttheking said:
Soooo.... I guess some didn't see my original post as a bit stupid, over the top, very hyperbolic, sarcastic at times and yes, the main bit here, a bit of a joke that wasn't serious about the whole subject in the first place? I even gave out a little disclaimer at the end.
How does anything on here turn heated? If I mention, "Peanut butter and jelly is the best sandwich around", will that turn into a 5+ page thread of heated "discussions"?

I think I am a danger to the Escapist forums.Stewie Plisken said:
Everyday is free beer day when you're a student. If you live on campus and you're popular enough. I don't consider myself extroverted but people used to invite me to at least three parties a week. Then again I was a bit of a princess when I was 20. Fashionable, flirty, and free.Superlative said:
More fun... years have reduced my fun tank capacity before I need a nap. I'm kind of a queen of daggy now. If an outfit requires more than 3 steps of complexity it's too hard. A naked day would be ideal.
m'kay its pretty neat that we've both seen things, but since i'm claiming to have been oppressed, you're denying my lived experiences and marginalizing my voice. Which could be concidered pretty cisphobic, but I like your profile name so I'll let it slide.Seneschal said:
It probably doesn't hurt that there's a history on this specific topic (albeit not the hashtag) on this site. I can't find the threads anymore because Google's changed the way it indexes this site, but...you sure picked a loaded topic to joke about. Might as well have joked about Anita Sarkeesian or, for the political equivalent, Muslims.Parasondox said:
Keep in mind we recently had a thread arguing that "white male" is a slur. Unironically.
PB&J is the sandwich of white male oppression. It is so simple that when a man says "make me a sammich," women are able to say "you can make it yourself." And truthfully! It also furthers the vegan agenda, with its plant-based food option-having-ness, which also oppresses men by shaming their natural meat-loving ways. Why do men like meat? Sexual dimorphism, that's a fact, look it up. This sort of assault on masculinity is exactly why we need straight pride day, because it is vital that the regressive left not take away our sexuality or sandwiches! We will not go quietly into the night. We will not vanish without a fight. The line must be drawn here and no further. You do not joke about peanut butter and jelly, good sir. To do that is to insult the freedom of speech I lost so many lives in Call of Duty to defend.
Rest now, gentle gyro. You shall suffer no more. And we shall never forget your sacrifice.
...too over the top? Hard to tell these days.
Have you ever been to Pride? Whenever I have, the "flamboyant, in-your-face" people have been prominent, sure, but hardly the majority. Most floats and groups in the parade are merely representing various industries or organisations, and couldn't be called flamboyant in the slightest. After the parade, it tends to split off into various musical events and mini-shows and things, which tend to be just like most street-music stuff. Little flamboyance. No dildos.shinyelf said:
The paparazzi just take pictures of the flashiest stuff, because they make for flashier pictures. That's all. If that's given you the wrong impression, don't blame the event.
Everyone can tell others to piss off, of course. Everyone does. Nobody is debating that. The issue is that whenever "straight pride" is brought up, it's almost always-- with very rare exceptions-- as part of an effort to denigrate gay pride, or dismiss it. See this very thread.shinyelf said:
Straight Pride is so last year, call me when I can openly take pride in my disgusting fetishes.
You would if you mentioned any combination of the words "Male", "Women", "Feminist", "Social", "Justice" and "Warrior". As in, "Male studies have found that peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are the most delicious snack to eat while crushing Feminist attempts at improving social justice for women."Parasondox said:
