How come we don't organize a heterosexual parade?

Question

Heterosexual march on Washingtong maybe. Complain we're being discriminated against when we don't get our way. Doesn't this sound silly. Since when did we become a society where we constantly go around and wear shirts that tell people what we prefer in the bedroom. Does anybody really care?

Answer 1

We SHOULD get a parade.

Answer 2

Where did you see shirts explaining their bedroom behavior?

I think the reason we don't organize a heterosexual parade because heterosexuals as a group are not on the receiving end of discrimination due to their sexual orientation.

Answer 3

Sadly no. People just step aside and let others get their way. Since when does a lifestyle 'choice' get special protection and rights? I for one believe that we should have a heterosexual parade, then they would just scream discrimination. Just put them on their own island and they can have all the parades they want.

Answer 4

There was a Straight Pride Parade in Fresno, California several years ago...
I presided at a mass wedding.

Answer 5

You need to walk a mile in someone else's shoes to understand.

They're free, proud and celebrating when they walk in their parade.

They should march on Washington because they don't have all of the rights that the Constitution says is theirs just as much as it's yours. This should anger you, too and you should join in the march.

If the laws said you couldn't marry the person you wanted, and if you did you couldn't receive the same benefits as someone who didn't marry "that" type - wouldn't you be angry? Wouldn't you fight for your rights?

and there are many little fights that you had to over come - maybe you'd passively fight by wearing a t-shirt or a bumper sticker? Making people aware of what's going on is the first step in the war to overcome and receive freedom.

Answer 6

The same reason we don't protest that a man should be allowed to marry a woman, its completely unnecessary. Oh and it'd be really boring its like "hi we're uhh the majority and well yea so uh we showed you"

Answer 7

I disagree with your beliefs. However, here's an article from the Onion you may enjoy.

Here's an example of a shirt that explains someone's "bedroom behavior". It's slang.

Answer 8

You're probably serious about you thinking you're being discriminated against.

Here's an idea...amputate both of your legs, or inject yourself with the HIV virus, so that you're a minority, and then you'll have a right to be listened to about stuff like this.

Answer 9

Because it wouldn't be as fabulous as a homosexual parade! It'd be boring and filled with pregnant people. Gay parades are fun and have lot's of colors and rainbow cupcakes! They kick booty!

Answer 10

You misunderstand the purpose of pride parades. Pride is about being OK with yourself even though you're oppressed. As a straight person, you're not oppressed. No one is trying to make you feel ashamed to be straight.

It wasn't the gay people who made it an issue. It was the people who sneer at them (or worse) for showing affection to their loved ones the same way straight people get to. You know, like holding hands. It's not all about sex, OK?

Answer 11

All parades, unless they are called homosexual parades, are heterosexual parades, they just don't name themselves that.
