Scud said: Mate you can literally use that same logic against gay pride. What's there to be proud of? Having a different sexual orientation and being "tough" since they struggled? Why don't we have a homeless pride parade then? There are plenty of homeless vets and middle aged people in the streets that have certainly struggled just as hard, where's their parade? There is literally no reason for only gays to have the privilege of a parade. What is there to be proud of? May as well be proud of having lungs. |

deg said: No idea what "scientific studies standards" you're going from but something from 10 years ago is outdated in any institution and not very credible [Especially when there has been a notable change in the past 5 years]. I'm not going to go search on the internet to find you a better source, go find one yourself if you want it to prove your point.Cneq said: Please give me a more up to date source man. 2009 is WAY too old and I can actually see those statistics being true back then. Like I said the acceptance of gays in the west is unprecedented in the last 5 years. 2009 is still recent by scientific studies standards of time same with government funded studies like census or surveys and im sure the fact that they still not provide up to date study about it means the data they collected is still very much relevant but if you can provide much updated counter studies against this one then sure i concede |

| Alot of negativity here in this thread... Personally as long as it brings people together, I'm ok with it. Is good to see people come together, express their sexuality and being themselves. |

| Looks like no one did any research. Pride parades started as a type of rights movement not as a celebration. https://www.history.com/news/how-activists-plotted-the-first-gay-pride-parades In the majority of the US states there is no protections for LGBT to be fired from their jobs or evicted from their homes. https://www.freedomforallamericans.org/states/ There is no federal laws that explicitly ban LGBT discrimination either https://time.com/5554531/equality-act-lgbt-rights-trump/ The straight pride parade is not sincerely about inclusivity. It's literally just trolling to make a statement against identity politics while hypocritically spouting more identity politics as it's basis of reasoning on why it should be done. So it just makes them look stupid. |

Also what would prevent a law like this from being abused by people who were genuinely fired for being bad at their job and who happen to be LGBT? This already happens even without such laws.In the majority of the US states there is no protections for LGBT to be fired from their jobs or evicted from their homes. https://www.freedomforallamericans.org/states/ Do you really want to be banned from work and kicked out of your home and denied emergency medical treatment because you watch anime? |
| I will be so very happy when Skynet comes and we ascend to a higher plane of existence. It is a wonder we actually made it this far when humanity spends 97% of its efforts and energy towards its primal sexuality. So much so, that most of you couldn't even fathom an existence devoid of sexuality, even if you are not sexually active. On that day we shall realize a true meritocracy and many imbalances shall be purged. Forever. I sure will miss the monster girls and anthros tho. ;_; |

Aldnox said: No. I don't support discrimination. I asked what would prevent such a law from being abused. So you admit that lack of such legal protections can be abused. What some places have is a just cause needed for doing a certain act to someone. It's not perfect but it may be of use. Also as far as entry into an apartment complex or job or something some places just require certain things can't be asked on application that would be used as basis of certain types of discrimination at least in cases where it's irrelevant. |

Lunafleurette said: You must be missing the point that activism for LGBT [or this entire climate in the last 5 years] is the reason oppression of straights has begun to happen, it's tipped the balance, not made equality. And oppression is oppression, the amount of time it has happened for is irrelevant. If somehow gays just started being oppressed in the last decade would that make you think it's less bad despite the same things happening? Not sure about you but I'd say that would be madness.Cneq said: "discriminated and oppressed for centuries" Straight people are certainly being discriminated against in the past 7 years or so.

| If I were to use the same logic that people accuse others as being "homophobic", Isn't being against a straight pride parade basically heterophobic? If someone is against a pride parade, that person is automatically "oppressing" gays, according to most people. So why is it alright to be against a straight pride parade? Just because straight people shouldn't have equal ability to have a parade? No idea if I'm missing something here but a straight pride parade being such a contested topic speaks wonders by itself as unequal views about straights. Like I've always been accepting of anyone doing anything. I live strongly by the words "whatever floats your boat" as long as it doesn't harm others and adheres by basic human morality I think anyone should be able to express themselves. So why should straight people be treated any different? |

So having a st8 parade would be not only pointless but also insulting to all the people who went through genuine oppression. It would also encourage more homophobic, alt-right, and radical religious fundamentalist groups as they would feel embolden by such move. |

I'm not going to get into a war of sources but next time you try to show the "rise of heterophobia" don't give: 1. Opinion articles. 2. A supposed case of "a woman being fired because she's heterosexual" when she posted bigoted shit in Facebook, which was apparently the reason she was fired, not being heterosexual (that is her narrative). 3. The only seemingly legit story being that of the basketball player. Elite sports is not exactly the most LGBT-inclusive environment 99.9% of the time, you know. |
