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!
Oh yes really. You don’t seem genuinely curious at all. You seem like you want to dogmatically defend it. You’re also being purposefully obtuse about it when you say things like

Like if all that was happening was a small bar in Idaho was offering free beer, then it wouldn’t be a dog whistle at all. But that’s not what’s happening, which I think you know full well.
Genuinely curious, I’m just asking questions and arguing against the answers! Just a curious guy, nothing else! No horse in this race…but you’re wrong.
I mean, the only people getting angry here seem to be you guys. “I don’t agree with you, so you are clearly a JAQass”
I dropped this because my question was answered, and I got to share my opinion on the matter, but you all keep responding for what?
checks notes
Ah yes, because I was “never asked for my opinion” (welcome to the internet! I didnt realize you dictated if I was allowed to have an opinion, actually), so you could insult me (with an assumption no less), and try to make me out to be a bad person for having the audacity to say “seems like a really small thing, why not just focus on pride month?”. Anyhow, now that you all got that anger off your chest, I want you to know that I think it’s cool that you disagree with me, and that it’s ok. I hope you guys have a nice day, and thank you for the answers that were actually provided.
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.
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 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 love it when the JAQasses show up.
