The idea of straight pride is the most ridiculous of notions. It reminds me of being a kid and asking parents around Mother/Father's Day why there is no kids day. Always needing to be reminded that everyday is kids day...

Will the straight men need a national coming out day? I remember being asked when younger, almost always in an awkward or uncomfortable manner, if I was gay. Can we then please make it equally awkward for the straight dudes who need a day of pride? Please?

You can call it pointless and laughable. But it’s also an insidious appropriation and trivialization of legitimate social struggles.

Not good.
I live in the Boston area. There will be more counter protestors than parade participants. I predict that a rag-tag dozen will show up to "parade."

Hopefully it will all turn into a joyous, rambunctious Gay Pride celebration, with a handful of decidedly uncomfortable straight people caught up in the midst.

I bet some of those "straight" men know a bit more about being with gay men than they want to let on.

People have a right to organize and express themselves in any way they choose as long as it’s non-violent. It’s a right. To oppose this is totalitarian and oppressive. I pray you people (leftists) never gain power in this country.
No one is saying they can't, well unless the dress up like the clan and start burning crosses.

The point is the don't need it

No one is denying the event from happening. What is being denied is support for it. It is nothing more than a parody that diminishes those that are truly oppressed.

Pray “we people” do. Someone needs to protect “you people” from yourselves.:D

Anyone that thinks a Straight pride parade is necessary is an absolute and utter idiot. Do they have the right to be that stupid of course they do. And everyone with some sense has a right to point out that they are minimalizing the entire reason for Gay pride. The daily struggles that the LGBT community have to put up with. Being disowned from their families, being told they are sinners for just being who they are. Being afraid to even admit who you are for fear of death or violent attacks from idiots and thugs.

One month a year a month of celebrating living through what we have to live through just to be who we are. How are straight people attacked and discriminated against because they are straight? When was the last time a straight teen was kicked out of the house and disowned because their parents found out they were straight?

Have several seats anyone trying to justify the need for this indulgent bullshit.

Yeah, way to invoke some complete straw man bullshit. After that, you must be having a one-man Pride parade of your own.
