I read that headline earlier today and had to do a double take, thinking it was a bit personal for a news agency like that.

Being proud of being a straight white male would be like being proud of being born with 10 fingers. Congratulations. You're average. Get over it.

Are the cis okay?
Re: What The Fark 5: I Can't Believe This Happened!
Brent, let me educate you:
Right now, I'm a trans woman, and I'm up against it politically and socially.
Right now, cisgender heterosexuals such as yourself don't have to worry about a doctor refusing treatment to you on account of being LGBT.
You don't have to worry about 7 or 8 Bible verses being used to condemn you on a daily, hell, HOURLY basis.
If I were still in high school, thanks to Dumb Old Betsy, there's no protections or guidelines for transgender students. She took those away.
Heterosexual individuals have never had "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" imposed on them. Remember that nugget? "Oh, you can serve in the military, but don't let anyone find out you're gay."
Cisgender individuals have NEVER been banned from military service.
Remember Defense of Marriage Act? "Should same-sex marriage ever become legal, you don't get partner benefits." Thank God that law was overturned.
Even in colonial America, Puritans sought the death sentence for homosexuals. Fact is, Evangelicals STILL want the death sentence for us. They're really envious of Saudi Arabia right now.
Right now, it's an act of courage if I use the women's restroom. I started leaving cards that said "we came. we peed. no problems here. #transvisibility"
I'm a marathon runner and endurance athlete, at least for a little bit longer. Right now, I can't register as a female, even though I barely have any testosterone left in me. Why? Because of the M on my driver's license. The race directors I know don't think this is fair either, but their hands are tied by USATF (running) and USAT (triathlon guidelines). Not only that, there's a strong feeling of "it's just men playing dress up" when a trans woman competes as her gender.
Last year, when Gender SAFE did Transgender Day of Remembrance, we mourned the death of 23 transgender individuals that were murdered just for being trans. This year, we're already up to 9, most of those being trans women of color.
Right now, LGBT youth are 4 times as likely to commit suicide as their cishet (cisgender, heterosexual) peers. I can give you the Social Problem Analysis and Powerpoint I just wrote for grad school.
I could go on.
Right now, Brent, if you want a straight pride parade, go to Walmart. And don't worry, the Old Navy 4th of July sale is coming up.

I understand that this is near and dear to your heart, but you do yourself a disservice with that last bit there, especially what I bolded. Don't insert words into the mouths of someone who doesn't wish you harm (as he has said), it has a history of turning people off from being open to your ideas, or even against you entirely.

That's a fascinating piece. Guy had more potential than Coulter, and they both blew it on pundidiotry. Alas, the money rolled right in though (NSFW).

Re: What The Fark 5: I Can't Believe This Happened!
The above is a great post. Thank you for this. The SWM is at an advantage. No question. But I feel that the "majority" is trying to be shamed because they are the majority. It's not their fault of being born that way. I guess what I don't like is that many of today's generation of SWMs are being ripped on for being SWMs, when we're TRYING to change the situation for the rest of the people. Yes, some are complete a-holes (cough MAGA cough). Don't lump us all in with that crowd. I had said that a Straight Day or whatever isn't a big deal, because it shouldn't be a big deal. Having an LGBT Day shouldn't be a big deal, because it shouldn't be. I concentrate on who the person is, not what they are, if that makes sense.
I'm not going to feel bad because I fall into that category. I'm going to be proud of what I am. And others should feel proud of what category they fall into. In the end, if you're not an a-hole, more power to you.

Re: What The Fark 5: I Can't Believe This Happened!
^^^^^^^^^^^ I don't care where I park, and furthermore, I hate the SJWs that shame some people who have legit reasons to park in those spots. My aunt had severe diabetes, she wasn't fat/obese. In fact, she was a tiny little thing. However, she couldn't walk long distances, because of foot pain. Hence, she got a handicapped parking pass.
FTR, though, she died from complications of the diabetes, in her 50s, because she decided she wanted to live life on her own terms, rather than follow the rules of said diabetes. Talked to her about it once, and she said, "I'd rather die happy than miserable."

I have a suggestion and I’m being serious, not snarky- but try not to view it as anyone is shaming you. Letting minorities celebrate isn’t shaming the majority and I think the majority should calm down.
Re: What The Fark 5: I Can't Believe This Happened!
This is not about me, it's about the category I fall into.
I just feel that if the minority can celebrate, why can't the majority? There shouldn't be anything "special" about any categorization. Either everyone can celebrate (for the right reasons, mind you, don't be hating) or it's such a non-issue that no one needs to celebrate (I prefer the latter).

Re: What The Fark 5: I Can't Believe This Happened!
Can we please stop saying the "majority"? Straight (90%) white (75%; 16%) males (49%) are about 33% of the US population and 7% of the world population. We only seem like the "default" because we have all the money and power.

Re: What The Fark 5: I Can't Believe This Happened!
It's a good point, but money and power do rule the world, making that faction a majority in a sense.

Re: What The Fark 5: I Can't Believe This Happened!
Do you have any fricking clue at all WHY the minorities are "celebrating." This may be your blindest to reality post yet, and that's a tough competition.

They're still not being shamed, which is the point she was making that you ignored. Scooby already posted this elsewhere but:

Re: What The Fark 5: I Can't Believe This Happened!
Was I rude with Brent? yes.
But Brent should be thanking his deity that he doesn't NEED a Straight Pride.
LGBT are powerless in this society. We're frustrated. We're angry. We're scared, if not terrified. And when you're powerless, all you can do is get angry. "if we don't vent our frustration, we're gonna blow a 50 amp fuse." All we can do right now is yell and scream and hope like hell someone hears us. We will have our marches and rallies. We will get on the internet and yell to a wide audience.

As a woman, I get it. No straight male should feel threatened or lesser by any pride events and if they do, they have serious questions to ask themself.
