I keep seeing online, and in real life, “Why doesn’t straight pride exist?” and “We need a straight pride parade!” When ever I hear that, I just have to laugh a little.

A lot of people are actually confused as to why straight pride doesn’t exist.  Well, it does, but like heterophobia, it is extremely rare. The reason we don’t celebrate it, or throw a parade for it, is because Homophobia is more common than heterophobia, and a lot worse.  

Homosexual’s are a lot more accepting of heterosexuals.  I recently went to a gay pride parade, and one of the floats, were asking for all the straight supporters.  A few people cheered.  I was very pleased knowing that the homosexuals were accepting of the straight supporters in the community.

There are a few though, that unlike others in the LGBT (Lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans*) community, that believe everyone should be gay, or trans*.  That is what we call heterophobia.  Heterophobia compared to homophobia, is almost nonexistent.  Few have stories about their rude encounters, but very few have been bullied into depression, or even suicide.  I don’t think even one person has been bullied into suicide for being straight.

Straight people are not told that the god they believe in hates them for a very natural human emotion.  Straight people are not beat up and killed because of a very natural human emotion.  Once I see a straight person being bullied for their sexuality, I will first stop it, but then I will start showing straight pride.
