Gotta love how if there's even just a single day not dedicated to those people ( or how they perceive themselves in some cases ) that they will actively work to dismantle it.
Yeah, you can claim straight pride when a sizeable amount of countries across the world will murder you for being straight, classify it as a mental disorder, etcetera. Until then, shut up and let people live their lives.
The victim card!
Sometimes I think it's easy to misinterpret this to mean that you can't be marginalised if you're white and straight.
It is entirely possible to be marginalised due to things other than gender or sexual orientation. It's entirely possible to be marginalised by things that you can't explain very well or that aren't talked about that commonly.
But yeah, demanding attention because it's pride month isn't the best way to go about it.
They are incapable of understanding this. Same as with Black Lives Matters. They just have to make it about themselves. It's easier than to accept you are privileged in some ways I guess.
