A straight pride will never gather mainstream popularity because most people have a basic level of education which enables them to understand that pride isn't about celebrating men having sex with men, it's about celebrating turning the tide on historical prejudices, discriminatory laws, decades of widespread homophobia and mistreatment as well as continuing campaigning for certain issues still taking place across the World.
It would be mighty odd for straight pride to really exist in any widespread capacity when none of that applies to heterosexuality.
However I will see it's also strange for this man, who is so devout in his religion is goes by the word of God whatever God says (lol yeah right) would create a pride-based celebration of sexuality when pRiDe iS a sIn.
It's almost like, once again, he doesn't actually care about the teachings of God, just the ones that make him feel icky for some reason he can't put his finger on.  |
…see, the/any religious connection has great relevancy for me because I was brought up as a Catholic and always had the mindset instilled on me that God/Jesus Christ was all loving …but actually I was actually just now deep in thought, not specifically about any Pride celebrations as such but how there still isn’t an equality of love …my specific thoughts were of some work colleagues and how I recall one year we had two staff marriages celebrated one year, a few years back…?…one was a heterosexual union and the other was a homosexual….long story short, for the heterosexual wedding, the bride was allowed at the school to show a beautiful photograph album of special the day and say…’this is my husband’….with the homosexual wedding…?…he wasn’t allowed to do the same with his year group and always advised to stay vague in his introduction of his partner at any school events…’this is a friend’, type thing….anyway, not related to the topic but just pondering why some things are very rightfully celebrated…
