That’s how I understand the pride movement. They celebrate that, for the most part, times have changed and that they can now be proud to be who they are, because they couldn’t before. I don’t know if that’s the actual intention behind it though.

Sure that parts not hard to understand however I don't see a problem with straight people being acknowledged as well. Much easier to just do it then throw up weak arguments as to why they shouldn't be included or don't matter or whatever else.

I mean, it’s not like there’s no reason to them being acknowledged. They’ve been disregarded for most of history. There’s simply no need to give special treatment to straight people. I don’t need a special pin to feel validated as a person. I don’t need a special month, just because they got one. Equality is all fine and dandy, but sometimes it just isn’t necessary.

"Equality is all fine and dandy, but sometimes it just isn’t necessary." Funny how this type of statement will be tolerated when its not aimed at a certain people group / type. It's not about just you, what about the straight person out there who does need or want that validation. Anyway exposing these double standards is far far too easy and it's getting tiresome. Goodbye for now.

I’d say that depends. Some people want equality everywhere, some don’t. And they appear to be on both sides of the arguments. You can’t just assume everyone on one side has the exact same viewpoints. If you personally feel oppressed by not getting acknowledged, that’s weird but your opinion. But the majority of straight people doesn’t feel the same way.
