‘Straight pride events in the past have had a woefully sad history. In 2019 a group called Happy Fun America held one in Boston where counter-protesters far outnumbered those marching. The same was true at an concurrent event in California. And what could be considered the start of the movement occurred in 2015 in Seattle when activist Anthony Rebello promoted a Straight Pride parade. LGBTQNation writes "he invited thousands of people via Facebook, writing: 'In the name of equality & equal rights, I have created this event to celebrate our right to be heterosexual, and to encourage younger heterosexuals that they should be proud of their heterosexuality.'"

At the parade, he marched alone with a hand-held cardboard sign.’

…so in regards to any funding/sponsorship as you and Benjamin have said…it obviously doesn’t have that wide belief in its motivation …(…atm…)…to have that and is presumably a very small minority….

LOL, that's funny. I would say I hope he was suitably embarrassed but that would require a level of emotional intelligence and self awareness I don't think someone organising such a thing would be able to comprehend.

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.
