Boston: 'Straight Pride Parade' goes off as planned, but--

Do we really need a parade to display our pride in our sexual preferences? What does pride have to do with something that is not an accomplishment? If you're gay or straight, be who you are, but being proud of yourself for your sexual preference isn't an accomplishment and it doesn't make sense.

The "Straight Pride Parade" kicked off in Beantown on Saturday. It drew supporters and hecklers who are against statistically normal sexual preferences. There was a heavy police presence to ensure pro-gay, lesbian and transgender hecklers could heckle without physical violence.

Plans for a "Straight Pride Parade" started off with LGBT Pride Month when the group Super Happy Fun America secured permits from the city of Boston after initially being rejected. They filed a discrimination complaint for the "Straight Pride" proposal and Mayor Martin Walsh had to finally agree that their point was legitimate.

 "Permits to host a public event are granted based on operational feasibility, not based on values or endorsements of beliefs," Walsh carefully worded so as not to offend gay, lesbian and transgender [aka gender identity disorder] folks. "The City of Boston cannot deny a permit based on an organization’s values." [Except in a case where a "New York Yankee Fan Pride Parade" applies for a permit to march.]

CBS Boston noted that "Super Happy Fun America" initially requested that City Hall fly a "Straight Pride" flag, as it does the Gay Pride flag, but the request "was denied as city officials said they have sole discretion on what flags fly outside City Hall," and they sure as hell don't want straight male-female relationships being represented as Boston's "norm."

According to the Boston Globe, the parade on Saturday drew only "a few hundred marchers," who were outnumbered by gay, lesbian and transgender philia protesters heckling them with accusations of bigotry and homophobia, in spite of evidence that any of the straight marchers were irrationally afraid of LGBT people.

"Shame on you!" the protesters reportedly squealed gleefully, finally having a chance to get out an protest. Members of the LGBTQ2 community believed the parade is a promotion of discrimination rather than actual "straight pride," because they feel as if they know what's in the hearts of the marchers.

"This quote-unquote 'other side' is pretending that they’re just a foolish group of freedom-of-speech lovers who are advocating that straight people have all the rights that queer people have," Willie Burnley Jr., who helped organize a counterprotest called Hands Off Our Pride, told the Boston Globe.

Burnley based his claim on his feelings, rather than evidence.

"These people aren’t welcome here, and I felt the need to tell them myself," said out-of-towner 41-year-old Lisa M. "This isn’t about straight pride. This is about hating everyone who isn’t them," she hatefully claimed without speaking to even one marcher.

"As a straight person, I’m outraged at the idea of them arguing that straight people are an oppressed majority," said Shoshanna Ehrlich, a "professor" of women’s, gender, and sexuality studies at the University of Massachusetts Boston, where a degree can earn you a job teaching women's gender and sexuality studies at a university or college.

She added: "We’re not the ones beat up, marginalized, and harassed for our sexuality."

She was possibly referring to the gay TV actor Jussie Smollett, who was beat up and marginalized by two of his black friends to make exactly that point.

While liberals formed the bulk of the protesters, the parade indeed drew a fair amount of criticism from conservative circles upon it first being announced. Let's face it, marching in a parade to show pride in who you chose to have sex with is silly.

Participants in the parade said they wanted to speak out against the growing prominence and popularity of gay culture. "You can't swing a dead rubber sex toy without hitting a gay scene in most any Netflix show," said Harmon Glunk, a straight sex activist who said he was marching to "pick up chicks."

"They’ve got gay everything, every place, and it’s about time they did something for straight pride. We’re people, too," said one straight marcher swinging a rubber maid.
