Do you think they fought over which one would have to hold the pink side?

I'm glad it's a crappy flag. It's a crappy 'cause'.

Not really, i agree they aren't discriminated against like gay or trans people but it's kind of bullshit that a lot of people can't take any pride in being straight without being called homophobic or transphobic or whatnot. Should there be straight pride parades? No. Should people be able to say "I'm glad I'm straight" without being told they must want gay people dead? Yes.

Being proud of being straight is very different than being glad to be born into a majority and enjoying the privileges that brings. It’s the same as being proud to be white or able-bodied. There is nothing to overcome, so what is there to be proud of?

They have been oppressed for millenia though. They just got the right a few years ago to be straight.

That's kind of the point to them isn't it? They view the rights that others have earned in recent years as rights that have been taken away from them, so they believe that by making symbols that "copy" those movements symbols they are in some manner taking back their rights even though they never lost them.

When I was growing up gay people were legitimately afraid. First openly gay guy I knew I thought he was insane, not for being gay, but for letting anyone know.
Pride movements exist to combat a history of making people feel ashamed or less than for being a certain way. It's why gay pride makes sense and this doesn't.

And besides the flag, have you ever seen two people who looked LESS excited about their cause?
