Don’t we already have a straight pride parade?
I think it’s called St. Patrick’s Day.

Brad Pitt has made it clear to the small group of Boston men planning a “Straight Pride” parade they must stop using the actor’s name and likeness for their purposes, a source close to the star confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter.
Super Happy Fun America, an apparently serious group “on behalf of the straight community,” was using Pitt’s name and image, calling him its mascot for the agenda. “Congratulations to Mr. Pitt for being the face of this important civil rights movement,” its site reads.
As of Friday morning, all pictures and mentions of Pitt were replaced with “redacted” and “censored” signs.
Stunned by the rejection from Brad Pitt these incels decided to tap professional right wing troll Milo Yiannopoulos to be the grand marshal of their self-pity parade.

Right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos has been named the grand marshal for Boston’s “Straight Pride” parade.
Organizers announced Friday the former Breitbart editor as the parade’s grand marshal after they originally used actor Brad Pitt’s name and likeness for the event.
Oh yeah, totally looks like Brad Pitt. Except not at all.
In case you did not know Yiannopolous is openly gay, but he explained why that was not a problem:
“I might technically be a sequined and perfectly coiffed friend of Dorothy’s, but I’ve spent my entire career advocating for the rights of America’s most brutally repressed identity — straight people — so I know a thing or two about discrimination,” Yiannopoulos said in a statement released by the group.
“This parade is a gift to anyone, male or female, black or white—gay and transgender allies, too!—who will stand with us and celebrate the wonder and the majesty of God’s own heterosexuality. Men, bring your most toxic selves. Women, prepare to burn your briefcases! Because it’s great to be straight, and we’re not apologizing for it any more. We’re Here, Not Queer.”
I think publicly stating that you are not queer while choosing a gay guy to serve as grand marshal sends all kinds of conflicting messages.
And if that was not bad enough actor Chris Evans also bitchslapped them on Twitter.
Wow! Cool initiative, fellas!! Just a thought, instead of ‘Straight Pride’ parade, how about this: The ‘desperately trying to bury our own gay thoughts by being homophobic because no one taught us how to access our emotions as children’ parade? Whatta ya think? Too on the nose?? https://t.co/gaBWtq2PaL

Wow, the number gay/straight pride parade false equivalencies are disappointing. For those who don’t understand the difference, see below. Instead of going immediately to anger(which is actually just fear of what you don’t understand)take a moment to search for empathy and growth https://t.co/e98K0Z150T

So rejected by their idol, forced to choose a guy from the other team to lead their parade, and slammed by Captain America.
Yep, so far this is going great.
Crazy people in this world. Zany. To chose a gay guy to be ur poster bot simply because he is a hate monger? Something twisted going on there. Yanowhatshis face is a total jerk. The so called straight homophobes speak volumes by chosing him that they worship a white guy despite his sexual preference as long as he is speaking hate to their rotten hearts. Its all twisted.
Milo Kannapolis was a GOP hero when he was celebrated as a homophobic gay until it was also revealed by his own words that he is also a major pedophile. He was dropped immediately & now he’s back. Sick!

This legislation has a chilling effect on activist efforts to engage in the kinds of protest and democratic action that we saw at Standing Rock around the Keystone XL pipeline project.
Critics of this legislative wave argue these bills radically undermine the First Amendment.
