That’s the gayest sounding name for a festival.
Three cool dudes looking for other cool dudes who wanna hang out in their party mansion. Nothing sexual. Fitness encouraged. If you’re fat, you should be able to find humor in the little things. Again, nothing sexual.
That should be on a flyer, but it should have an attention grabbing shape. Like maybe a bicept.
Don’t forget the veins
Most closeted thing I’ve ever heard.
I mean, ok. Pride isn’t exclusionary. Most gay people have straight parents, siblings, friends and so on. If you feel the need to celebrate being straight, that’s cool. If you think you’re a victim because you are straight then I might suggest some therapy.
Gonna be a lot of gross people that no one wants to fuck at that event.
I guarantee it.
Yep as a queer I wish to reassure them, I wouldn’t touch any of them with a pole
Not even someone else’s pole.
What if they fuck each other?
That’s… how Conservatives are made.
What if we took a page of Bob Barker’s book and have them spayed or neutered?
Eugenics is from the conservatives’ book.
Then they shouldn’t mind, right?
Being straight should be illegal
Pride: “equal rights for all”.
Straight pride: “all people are equal, but straights are more equal than others”.
These things always feel like someone shouting “I have a birthday too!“ at someone else’s birthday party.
Next the WASPs are going to demand a St George’s day parade to celebrate English-American culture
You know what would be the fucking best thing ever? If everyone showed up and was totally supportive. Like those hateful bigots are all marching and hollering and then here comes the pride parade with hetero banners and signs saying “Heteros Are Awesome!” and other really positive shit. And they’ll be all like “We don’t want your support,” and we’ll be like “Fuck you, pride is for all!” And maybe like one or two of them would be like, “Oh…” and then the world is a better place for a moment.
Grinder crashes immediately
Hundred bucks says the grinder app’s going to get a lot of traffic that weekend. There’s going to be very busy bus station bathrooms, and maybe Airport bathrooms? I don’t know if they have airports in Idaho.
Straight people celebrating being the ones to perpetuate the human race give argument for not perpetuating the human race
I’m hetero, but I’m also happily child free.
But also I wouldn’t attend this event. If people want to be gay, be gay. If people want to be christian, be christian. If people want to be a dinosaur, be a dinosaur.
I don’t give a fuck what other people do. As long as they’re respectful to everybody, and don’t hurt anybody, that’s cool. You be you.
Except for Andy Dick, whose last name is apt.
Happy child free, may I ask how old you are roughly? Because to me it seems that this number and that happiness correlate strongly inversely. People are more and more lonely. Less family, fewer siblings, no children, …
There sure are people of any age that are happy without children (or generally with or without anything). But since you mention this and me seeing that correlation: I have to ask. If you are 30 that is essential meaningless, like saying you do not care about pensions. If you are 60 both statements carry a lot more weight.

Very weird idea. Like, if you’re 30, you should be socking money away for your retirement, not relying on your kids to support you when you’re old. And also, by the time you are 60 you should have built up a large and supportive group of friends to make sure you aren’t lonely, not rely on your kids to keep you company. Pretty much no one I know between the ages of 20 and 40 lives in the same city as their parents, and they visit them once per year for Thanksgiving or Christmas. If you are having kids so you won’t be lonely… it’s a bad bet.
I said it has a very different gravity depending on how old the person saying it is. Do you agree or not? Why?
Fwiw, I have only one ‘real’/local/irl friend that has children. They have been living in hell, to put it bluntly, for the last… 14 years. Everyone else is in a much better state of mind and happiness, and without children… so you could say from my perspective, that number of offspring is inversely related to the enjoyment of life. We can, have, stand back and say ‘holy shit, fuck all that’ - and so far, the message has stuck with the rest of us.
I feel sorry for the guy, I’ve known him for ~25 years, but he really could have solved many, many, many of life’s problems with the use of a few condoms. Like, so many… so fucking (heh) many. Now he’s stuck with a couple exs, a dead-end job, a couple of vehicles that are almost-literally falling apart, child support up to his eyeballs, and is headed towards his third bankruptcy. He nearly dragged me down trying to help him out financially. The rest of us are taking detailed notes of how life can go to shit with just one decision.
Really does not sound like children are the cause of the problems there.
Honestly, if done without any hate to LGBTQ+, I’m all for it. We need a nice hetero representation, and hetero relationships are beautiful. This does include trans people forming hetero couples, and hetero-demi-/asexuals, and many more, so it can even intersect with LGBTQ+ in some cases.
All relationships and sexualities are beautiful, and hetero ones are no exception.
But I doubt it’ll be done this way.
Yeah, I’d say, if hetero people need an excuse to have fun and celebrate something, I’m all for it. But I have a sneaky suspicion that this is going just going to be used as a hatefest towards LGBTQ+ people instead. I would love to be proven wrong but I have a feeling that straight cis people who are open minded and accepting and not bigots, aren’t the ones who feel the need to go “what about straight pride / international men’s day?” whenever anyone else gets a bit of attention.
I’m cis-het and fully intend to go to the pride parade with friends in a different state. It’s going to be a great time! Idk why the largest groups feel like they need extra special attention.
I don’t think they do it for attention tbh
They do it because they need assurace. That’s right, Kevin, a real man suppresses those dirty feelings!
But really, the only way you’ll ever know is to find out.
id be ok with it as long as they don’t push it in my face
I don’t want to walk past and see them holding hands or anything
Holding hands implies they’re trying to have sex. A penis, in a vagina? How do I explain that to my 4 year old?
I remember how grossed out I was when I first learned about it: “NO WAY did my mom and dad do that!”
Kids don’t understand much at that age.
But I doubt it’ll be done this way.
It almost certainly will be a hate fest. These are people who think they’re being persecuted because other people are allowed to live their lives.
the point of pride is it’s about visibility: relationships in pop culture are almost entirely hetero… you just don’t see queer relationships at the ratio they exist in society… pride is all about celebrating the existence of queer existence and our relationships and culture
if you add similar things for heterosexuals, it’s saying “we have everything most of the time and this 1 time where you’re seen, we want to be part of that as well”… or worse, want to draw attention away from it by being bigger
