It speaks tomes about how fragile a person must be to look at Pride and think 'Why don't I get a festival?!'

I've been with both genders and I know the difference between walking down the street holding hands with a woman and doing the same with a man. I've never feared for my safety because of someone thinking I was straight but I've certainly feared for my safety when I've been out with a man. As it was said in the OP, Pride is meant to be about celebrating sexual identities that has seen people who identify as not being straight being targetted by the law and/or killed by bigots. It's a celebration of how far we've come.

I've never struggled with either my identity of fear of reprisal from an angry bigoted randomer in the street when I've been in a relationship with a woman. Straight people aren't made to feel like they have to hide for fear of being ostracised or targetted and they never will so the idea of a straight pride festival is just a perversion of what Pride is and it's just an excuse for straight people to undermine the struggle of the LGBT by falsely equating their non-existent struggle with their sexuality to that of a people who are still oppressed by others today.

Be an ally, don't envy what you don't have because you're not oppressed.
