That's because straight people can already walk down a street holding hands, kiss, and generally show that they're straight without getting mobbed, thrown looks or having something said.

Gay Pride is only one day a year where gay people can go somewhere and be themselves without having to worry.

Straight people attend Gay Pride too, just to support.

Not just one day though

There are a few gay prides throughout the year. 2 others I know of are Blackpool and Manchester which are in May and August in that order.
