@@matthewkoch6937 I grew up in a conservative Christian community, and one time an old couple told me they couldn’t join the ministry when they were young in the 50s because you could only join the ministry if you also joined the swinger’s club. So maybe the idealized conservative Christian 1950s never existed.
I feel like straight pride is basically the same as when you're a kid and you see someone with a toy you don't have, even though you have plenty of toys already, and then decide you need it too just because someone else has it.
I feel like these are just people that don’t get that even though they’re not being celebrated, they are still invited to come celebrate. Being straight and cisgender, I’ve never felt left out of Pride, the same way I don’t feel left out on other peoples weddings, graduations, birthdays or other nations national days. It’s okay to celebrate other people and it’s okay to fight for equality - even if you’re not on the bad end of it.
That's a great way to put it! As an LGBT person, I work to make spaces I'm in open to all. I don't gear it towards straight people, but am always happy to see them joining in and showing support. Thanks for being an ally💜
"As long as it's all happening between consenting adults, people can do whatever they want with their heart, their soul, their body, their ass and it's nobody's business!" - My grandpa, in the 1960s, a christian straight man who believed above all in love and the universal right to happiness. Thought I'd share his wisdom 😊
@@beth7935 He truly did 😌 back in the late 1970s, he and my grandma would help some of their children's friends do their coming out to their families, less drama and hate like that. Neither he or my grandmother ever believed that "homosexuality is a sin" thing. As far as they were ever concerned, love is no sin and everyone deserves a chance to be themselves and with the one they love ❤️ I miss them so much... 😞
@@karanhdream Wow, they must have helped people so much! Coming out in the 70s must've been damn hard; having one of their parents' friends standing by them would've made a big difference. I'm so impressed! They must've been lovely grandparents, & I bet lots of people miss them, but they absolutely made the world a better place :)
Wow... just... wow. I know nobody asked, but I'm currently trying to figure out a way to come out to my grandpa as trans. I'm scared out of my mind, because he's the only one from my paternal side that I actually care about and I want him to know, because I want him to know why I avoided talking to him for so long, but I'm just scared of how he will react. I'm scared because I don't know if my father has already told him... I don't even know if he still wants to talk to me... I still have to come out to my entire extended family, but he's the one person I actually care about, and I don't have any idea how he might react to it...

@@authenticbaguette6673 it’s not n zi rhetoric. Usually it’s just because of religion and not wanting to upset their god. We should teach them that being gay is ok because true Christians should love everyone no matter their race or anything like that.
To be fair, a lot of LGBTQ+ people I met at prides don't know that. It's not like anyone will actually tell them that, either inside or outside of a pride parade. Maybe there should be like a documentary event integrated in every pride telling its history because so many people literally don't get access to that history from parents, schools etc. We're the only ones who are going to teach them, we should do that.
the thing that pisses me off the most about the whole "July is straight pride month!!" is that July is ALREADY a pride month! July is Disabled Pride Month!!! Stop erasing us please!! >:(

give them the rest of pride. the being scared of holding hands with your partner in public. the murders. the being kicked out by your parents. the family rejection and ostracization.
Exactly. I'm scared for my life to come out, because my parents have proven to be homophobic. If they want pride so bad, give them everything that comes with it.
Don't stop at just those parts. Also give them the quieter parts. Like your mom calling you partner your "friend" when you talk about them with extended family or people who don't know them. Or someone calling your relationship "experimenting". People constanly questioning your gender based on what _they_ percieve as masculine or feminine traits. Comments like "are you sure you're really X" or "You just haven't found the right man/woman!" Maybe then they'll understand, that even in more accepting parts of the world, people still face discrimination.
THIS. I had an argument with some family members telling me that Pride was useless and "doing a disservice to the movement", because to them pride is just a lawless circus with half naked people dancing obscenely on stages. They even used the "us straights are starting to be discriminated now !", and I had to ask them if they ever had to fear for their lives while walking outside with their partner, or fearing to be kicked out by family, discriminated against, etc. Heck, they never even WENT to Pride, they only vaguely saw images on tv once like a decade ago. I went to our local pride so I told them how it went, and the origins of pride, and why it was important to some people esp the queer youth, and they were like "meh, ok, but we still disapprove of it and we know gays who would never go to it". It was possibly one of the most frustrating conversation I ever had (not to mention I also had to come out as queer for like the 4th time because my family had.... forgotten about it. Oh well.)
As a half Mexican my family wants me to marry a nice Mexican woman that is not American because the USA has proven that they shouldn't be allowed to run themselves. With this video I am remembering what my parents do but because I a Straight guy who wants to date a American girl
PS: It's so interesting to see when people who are used to the world revolving around them and catering to them (in this case, white straight people) throw a fit because something in the world is actually NOT about them (in this case, Pride Month, Black Lives Matter, etc.). It always strikes me as being incredibly childish when people react that way, as if they can't deal with the idea that anyone deserves respect or attention but themselves and people like them. -_-:
@@feral_chiwawa Not only these people, but in this example, we're talking about Pride Month and Black Lives Matter, two things which "exclude" white straight people. That's all I meant there. :)
For me it reached the height of childishness when they came up with "super straight". I mean imagine "inventing" a new "sexuality" on fuckin Tiktok or 4chan, whatever came first, they're both stupid, just because they were insecure about being called transphobic for not wanting to date a trans person, when pretty much none of them have had any experiences with trans people and literally none of us have ever said it's transphobic to not want to date us, just don't use your preference as an excuse to harass us, that's all. And the cherry on top is how they have to put "Super" on it. They literally just wanna feel superior to trans people again, just right there in the name. As if we had anything remotely close to equality with them in the first place, transphobes think basic manners like pronouns are the only equality we need and they fight tooth and nail against something as simple as that, won't even acknowledge issues like the violence we experience, workplace discrimination and lack of job security, lack of access to healthcare or lack of coverage by health insurance, the proposed bills preventing us from using public bathrooms or even the two proposed bills here in Australia that tried to outlaw treatment for gender dysphoria. It's a butt-ugly flag too, one color and one shade, divided into two blocks instead of horizontal stripes and then they had to add the male and female symbols on top of that garish orange and flavorless black because the meaning wasn't even clear enough in the initial design. If they did their reading, they would've found out that Cissexual was already a thing, a preference towards romantic or sexual partners who are cisgender men or women, and pretty much nobody used being cissexual as an excuse to treat trans people like shit, it was just their preference, and we respect that. They also would've realized that you can't "Invent" a new sexuality, and it's not really a sexuality if it's just a more selective version of being straight, that's just a preference. Like how some people may be straight but prefer to date white people, that's not a sexuality, that's just a preference, caucasian is not a gender and trans is not a gender. And preferring to date white people doesn't make racism towards people of color okay, just as preferring to date cis people doesn't make harassing trans and non binary people okay I mean if super straight was literally just straight people saying "trans people are okay, they deserve equality and respect, I just prefer to date cis people" that's fine, no complaints from me, you do you. But it didn't stop there, the immaturity of it kept building, people started taking it seriously, they went around doxxing, threatening and harassing trans people, mocking traumatic experiences LGBTQ+ people have gone through with tasteless shitty unfunny jokes "I'm gonna kill myself because my parents don't accept me as super straight, stunning and brave!! 🧡🖤", and the usual shit. I don't know how they expected to be taken seriously when the entire thing started as a joke and they refuse to respect anyone else, to turn around and actually complain about "superphobia" like it's a real problem, after making their 9,000th joke about trans people committing suicide, well it's just fucked up.
That is very hypocritical, weren't your Lgbtqia+-/%^ñ group protesting in the streets during this. Yall were the ones upset with us having the straight pride parade. Also, why most of us "Straight white people" dont like BLM is not because of race, its because of the fact that across the country in blue citys, riots were breaking out in the name of BLM. Remember that "fiery but mostly peaceful" bullshit that cnn and all the other libtard press talked about. They said they were peaceful and that the police were just causing the trouble. THE DAMM SECURITY CAMERAS SHOW THE RIOTERS LOOTING BUISNESSES AND STORES, COMMITING ARSON AND FIGHTING WITH POLICE. There is no justification for what they did. That's why we dont like BLM. Also it is very hypocritical to say that we are center of attention. Lgbtwhatever has 20 spirit days and 19 awareness days. Also the entire month of june. Also countless parades on end, but yall get mad at us for having one parade? We dont dedicate a day to ourselves. Soooooo how exactly are we the center of attention? Also, its politics, everyone is fighting to make a point, everyone is fighting for attention. Personally I dont give a fuck about your pride, I have no problem with your pride thing, but I will not let you say that White people are this egotistic, narcissist group.
@@benderrodriguez1346 Why do yall play the race card so much. The damm skin color does not matter. We have been saying that all lives matter, all lives are equal but you guys still find a way to take offence to it. Why do you stereotype us republicans as racist?
@@yourbanned4522 hm, no dont think so, most people that are ex lgbtq are probably people who were most likely just trying to explore sexualites and or different gender identities. And then they figured out that they're well, just straight, i mean there's nothing wrong in trying to learn or explore different stuff right? But im sure there is a small percentage that is homophobic
I mean if you do the math we would have 46,666 days left not counting mass extinction events pandemics and pollution so yeah we would be screw'd Edit:thats 129 years
These guys clearly don’t know that bi, pan, omni, etc, people exist and can create children just fine depending on who they end up with. And it’s not the end of the world if *some people* don’t have kids. (In fact, I hear we’re getting a little over populated in areas)
the straights really just be like "i want a straight pride month! its not fair theres an lgbtq+ pride month and not straight pride! not like i have a whole year to roam freely without being attacked for my sexuality and gender."
Those pictures of the straight parents "protecting" the child from the rainbow under the umbrella looks exactly like some sort of poster an evil cartoon corporation would hang up around town
Pride is a response to straight/cis supremacy, so its impossible for straights to have pride for themselves, because they aren’t oppressing themselves.
We don't teach you to be ashamed things have changed now its not such a big deal now, guess what your pride worked and im hapoy for you dosent mean straights cant uave pride too
@@He_Saves Maybe we have different opinions about what shame means. People in the LGBT+ community are bullied, laught at, and disdained; we can lose jobs or have fewer opportunities in life just for being LGBT+. In Mexico (where I live) and many other places, we often get killed, and no one does anything about it. Society teaches us to be ashamed by letting us know that we are not normal, and that we need to hide parts of ourselves to be accepted. In that sense, we are taught to be ashamed of being LGBT+. Of course everyone has a right to be proud of who they are: straights have that right too. But for us, Pride is a movement to claim a safe place in the world, to tell everyone that we exist and we resist, because this world has been hostile to us, and that has to change. That's why straights don't need a pride: nobody tells them that they shouldn't exist.
Last year during pride month, my mom was ranting about a pride ad. "I don't get celebrated for being a white, cishet, women" The reason why pride exists is because we're still fighting. We only got the right to marry in 2015, and that's in America. There's still people who are being murdered and abused for their sexuality. They still have to hide. We've made progress. But we're far from done. We still have a fight to fight.
@@pv7875 yeahhh- I've tried to explain to her that pride exists because we've been fighting and trying for so long, but she doesn't really understand She did say sexuality is a choice, so, she's not very good at this stuff

Oooooh I’m so sorry. My straight friend (well not anymore) dead as said that why do LGBTQ people have a pride month. Needless to say, we brought it up when we were forced to resolve our friendship problems, but somehow she *was still defended by the teacher in charge. We’re no longer friends, but I haven’t stopped raging! I hadn’t come out to her for that very reason and gosh was I mad, I feel your pain
Yeah same, I feel that, and my other classmate who said during pride month "wHy DoNt pEoPlE wHo FoUgHt In ThE wOrLd WaRs GeT a DisPlaY" And when I said they do, "YeAh BuT nOt HeRe"
Oh god I feel your pain. I have a "friend" who is very homophobic and I can't avoid her. Once she said that no one can really know at this age if they're lgbtq+. Well then I asked how can she know she's straight. She called that HeTerOpHobIa -_-
We should let them have straight pride but also give them everything else that comes with it...fear of coming out, lack of human rights, death penalty based on just being straight, discrimination, conversion therapy...you gotta have the whole package, you can't just pick and choose :)
This is good. Maybe I will start discrimination against CisHets who don't respect me. Oh, you can't use my preferred pronounce? Well then I ain't gonna use yours bish!
Speaking as a straight cis woman I think this is ridiculous. I don’t think some people understand why we need a Pride month or Black History month. They are not thinking and don’t know the history and don’t want to know it… it’s so frustrating.
Without the homophobic thing on the back, me and my friends would probably 100% ironically mass buy the straight gang hoodie (most of us are "obviously" queer to outsiders)

They’re like the kids that you specifically didn’t invite to your birthday party, but they found out where it was and showed up anyways. And then they made it their birthday party. Same energy.
Everything you achieve in life wether you consider it big or small is something to be proud of but it's also not something to feel ashamed about if you don't achieve that certain goal you set. We are all on different timelines in life and no two paths are the same, so comparing yourself isn't the way to live. Don't just do something for the sole purpose of proving that you in fact can do it. Asking for help doesn't mean that you have failed failing to ask for help however is failing yourself because you are not giving yourself the best opportunity to grow and flourish your full potential No one can do something correct 100 percent of the time. Be you, live your best life and don't let anyone's judgement hinder that.
Straight people: "I'm sick of having this gay stuff pushed on me all the time" ... LGBTQ+ people dealing with cishet normativity, especially ace-spec dealing with it from everywhere...
It shouldn't be this hard to explain that "Pride" events are for peoples and cultures that have been oppressed for centuries before and are able to finally embrace who they are, publicly. As a CIS white woman, I apologize for the stupidity of those who need to celebrate their power positions.
@@Sarawarawara- Technically yes. But the point of pride month is to show how far we’ve come and to be proud of ourselves in a way we couldn’t during other months. Straight people can shout out that they’re straight all year and no one will care, but if a gay/trans/ect. person did it than people would ask why they’re shoving it down people’s throats or why they can’t be quiet about who they like.

2013 (I think) was the year of Luigi. Nintendo did this to give Luigi, a character with not as much representation as his brother, Mario, a chance to shine and get more recognition. They released Luigi-based games and media, including Super Luigi Bros. It was really fun and nice to see a secondary character getting more recognition. Straight pride month would be like a year of Mario. Mario is the main character in almost every game he’s in. It’s always “Mario Bros.” “Mario Party,” “Mario Kart,” Luigi is there, but he’s always a secondary character. Just like real life, LGBTQ+ people are a minority, cishet people are always more recognized and have far more media representation. Let the LGBTQ+ community have their month like Luigi had his year. Cishet people don’t need a month and Mario doesn’t need a year, because they’re already almost always in the spotlight.
My dad: Omg not that many people are gay! It's a trend the internet did to make a bunch of normal kids think they're gay! Me: Do I need to go back to the history of left-handed people? Cuz apparently the hand I write with was also a trend that spiked up in popularity.
They must've hated skittles as a child. But now they have to 'taste the rainbow'. Also why does the 'new' straight pride flag look like the bi-curious flag
We were told to feel shame Made to believe that we are wrong Made to understand we dont belong If you had been told the same You would have to unlearn that too To learn not to be ashamed of what makes you you To learn to feel instead of shame, pride. Be grateful you were never told to hide.
They don't deserve it cus they're not oppressed, they literally have the 11 months to be themselves and they're not suffering from hate crime and bullying just because they're being themselves

Think of pride as donations. There are the rich and well-off, and there are the less privileged. Charities help the less privileged get back on track. No one asks for charities for the rich, because they don’t need it. They’re already fine. Same with pride. There are the straights, and there are the gays. Gay pride is to help defeat discrimination towards gay people, and give them easier and more equal lives. Straight pride shouldn’t exist because their lives are already good and privileged enough.

Like, be proud of who you are, no matter your sexuality, your gender, your gender presentation,... . But Straight Pride™ just isn't it, man. It's, like, completely missing the point of Pride
But most people don’t take pride month to be “be proud of who you are” most people, including people in the lgbt community take it as “were more awesome cuz we are gay month”
2:30 As an American myself, I can proudly say....I hate this. I hate this with every fiber of my being. They want to be treated like how how they treat the LGBTQ+ community, alright. Let's give them all the fun worries, like "Will I be kicked out of my home for loving who I love?" or "Can we go on a trip there? I have to check the local laws there to make sure we're legal there." and, most importantly "Can I even come out of the closet, or will I be completely disowned by everyone I care about if I do?"
The best comparison that I can make is that pride is like a veteran's day march.Showing gratitude to the ones who helped pave the way and showing support to those who stuck in bad times.

People who celebrate Straight Pride come off as those kids who got upset when someone who broke their leg or were wheelchair bound got to ride the wheelchair-access elevator back at my school.

I realised I was Bi over ten years ago and I still struggle with being proud of who I am. This years pride month was particularly hard for me as I finally got married to my opposite sex partner, now people are saying my Bisexuality was just a phase and a lot of other awful things. I feel I’m taking one step towards accepting myself and one step back all the time! Pride is so important for us, we need that extra encouragement and community to help push ourselves to love ourselves. When straight people are killing themselves at 14 because they’re being bullied for being straight then we can talk about straight pride.

And if you can't have it, you break it so nobody else can either.

is even worst, is like you already have the toy but you need to have another one for no reason, you want two

It’s okay to celebrate other people and it’s okay to fight for equality - even if you’re not on the bad end of it.
Truth
That's a great way to put it! As an LGBT person, I work to make spaces I'm in open to all. I don't gear it towards straight people, but am always happy to see them joining in and showing support. Thanks for being an ally💜
I'm straight and cis but I have been to Pride before and loved it.
AMEN
Honestly, my straight pride is being an LGBT+ ally. We even get a funky flag!
"As long as it's all happening between consenting adults, people can do whatever they want with their heart, their soul, their body, their ass and it's nobody's business!" - My grandpa, in the 1960s, a christian straight man who believed above all in love and the universal right to happiness. Thought I'd share his wisdom 😊

@@beth7935 He truly did 😌 back in the late 1970s, he and my grandma would help some of their children's friends do their coming out to their families, less drama and hate like that. Neither he or my grandmother ever believed that "homosexuality is a sin" thing. As far as they were ever concerned, love is no sin and everyone deserves a chance to be themselves and with the one they love ❤️ I miss them so much... 😞
@@karanhdream Wow, they must have helped people so much! Coming out in the 70s must've been damn hard; having one of their parents' friends standing by them would've made a big difference. I'm so impressed! They must've been lovely grandparents, & I bet lots of people miss them, but they absolutely made the world a better place :)
Wow... just... wow.
I know nobody asked, but I'm currently trying to figure out a way to come out to my grandpa as trans. I'm scared out of my mind, because he's the only one from my paternal side that I actually care about and I want him to know, because I want him to know why I avoided talking to him for so long, but I'm just scared of how he will react. I'm scared because I don't know if my father has already told him... I don't even know if he still wants to talk to me... I still have to come out to my entire extended family, but he's the one person I actually care about, and I don't have any idea how he might react to it...

To be fair, a lot of LGBTQ+ people I met at prides don't know that. It's not like anyone will actually tell them that, either inside or outside of a pride parade. Maybe there should be like a documentary event integrated in every pride telling its history because so many people literally don't get access to that history from parents, schools etc. We're the only ones who are going to teach them, we should do that.
Don't give them ideas lol

give them the rest of pride. the being scared of holding hands with your partner in public. the murders. the being kicked out by your parents. the family rejection and ostracization.
Exactly. I'm scared for my life to come out, because my parents have proven to be homophobic. If they want pride so bad, give them everything that comes with it.
Don't stop at just those parts. Also give them the quieter parts.
Like your mom calling you partner your "friend" when you talk about them with extended family or people who don't know them. Or someone calling your relationship "experimenting".
People constanly questioning your gender based on what _they_ percieve as masculine or feminine traits.
Comments like "are you sure you're really X" or "You just haven't found the right man/woman!"
Maybe then they'll understand, that even in more accepting parts of the world, people still face discrimination.
Or moving to a new city and not being sure if you can be open with colleagues about your sexuality
THIS. I had an argument with some family members telling me that Pride was useless and "doing a disservice to the movement", because to them pride is just a lawless circus with half naked people dancing obscenely on stages. They even used the "us straights are starting to be discriminated now !", and I had to ask them if they ever had to fear for their lives while walking outside with their partner, or fearing to be kicked out by family, discriminated against, etc. Heck, they never even WENT to Pride, they only vaguely saw images on tv once like a decade ago. I went to our local pride so I told them how it went, and the origins of pride, and why it was important to some people esp the queer youth, and they were like "meh, ok, but we still disapprove of it and we know gays who would never go to it". It was possibly one of the most frustrating conversation I ever had (not to mention I also had to come out as queer for like the 4th time because my family had.... forgotten about it. Oh well.)
As a half Mexican my family wants me to marry a nice Mexican woman that is not American because the USA has proven that they shouldn't be allowed to run themselves.

PS: It's so interesting to see when people who are used to the world revolving around them and catering to them (in this case, white straight people) throw a fit because something in the world is actually NOT about them (in this case, Pride Month, Black Lives Matter, etc.). It always strikes me as being incredibly childish when people react that way, as if they can't deal with the idea that anyone deserves respect or attention but themselves and people like them. -_-:
@@feral_chiwawa Not only these people, but in this example, we're talking about Pride Month and Black Lives Matter, two things which "exclude" white straight people. That's all I meant there. :)
For me it reached the height of childishness when they came up with "super straight".
I mean imagine "inventing" a new "sexuality" on fuckin Tiktok or 4chan, whatever came first, they're both stupid, just because they were insecure about being called transphobic for not wanting to date a trans person, when pretty much none of them have had any experiences with trans people and literally none of us have ever said it's transphobic to not want to date us, just don't use your preference as an excuse to harass us, that's all.
And the cherry on top is how they have to put "Super" on it. They literally just wanna feel superior to trans people again, just right there in the name.
As if we had anything remotely close to equality with them in the first place, transphobes think basic manners like pronouns are the only equality we need and they fight tooth and nail against something as simple as that, won't even acknowledge issues like the violence we experience, workplace discrimination and lack of job security, lack of access to healthcare or lack of coverage by health insurance, the proposed bills preventing us from using public bathrooms or even the two proposed bills here in Australia that tried to outlaw treatment for gender dysphoria.
It's a butt-ugly flag too, one color and one shade, divided into two blocks instead of horizontal stripes and then they had to add the male and female symbols on top of that garish orange and flavorless black because the meaning wasn't even clear enough in the initial design.
If they did their reading, they would've found out that Cissexual was already a thing, a preference towards romantic or sexual partners who are cisgender men or women, and pretty much nobody used being cissexual as an excuse to treat trans people like shit, it was just their preference, and we respect that.
They also would've realized that you can't "Invent" a new sexuality, and it's not really a sexuality if it's just a more selective version of being straight, that's just a preference.
Like how some people may be straight but prefer to date white people, that's not a sexuality, that's just a preference, caucasian is not a gender and trans is not a gender. And preferring to date white people doesn't make racism towards people of color okay, just as preferring to date cis people doesn't make harassing trans and non binary people okay
I mean if super straight was literally just straight people saying "trans people are okay, they deserve equality and respect, I just prefer to date cis people" that's fine, no complaints from me, you do you.
But it didn't stop there, the immaturity of it kept building, people started taking it seriously, they went around doxxing, threatening and harassing trans people, mocking traumatic experiences LGBTQ+ people have gone through with tasteless shitty unfunny jokes "I'm gonna kill myself because my parents don't accept me as super straight, stunning and brave!! 🧡🖤", and the usual shit.
I don't know how they expected to be taken seriously when the entire thing started as a joke and they refuse to respect anyone else, to turn around and actually complain about "superphobia" like it's a real problem, after making their 9,000th joke about trans people committing suicide, well it's just fucked up.
That is very hypocritical, weren't your Lgbtqia+-/%^ñ group protesting in the streets during this. Yall were the ones upset with us having the straight pride parade. Also, why most of us "Straight white people" dont like BLM is not because of race, its because of the fact that across the country in blue citys, riots were breaking out in the name of BLM. Remember that "fiery but mostly peaceful" bullshit that cnn and all the other libtard press talked about. They said they were peaceful and that the police were just causing the trouble. THE DAMM SECURITY CAMERAS SHOW THE RIOTERS LOOTING BUISNESSES AND STORES, COMMITING ARSON AND FIGHTING WITH POLICE. There is no justification for what they did. That's why we dont like BLM.

My new favourite thing: Telling straight people that straight pride was last month, regardless of which month it is
"In a society that teaches us to be ashamed, pride is a political response." -Carlos Jáuregui
So no, straights can't have pride.
Pride is a response to straight/cis supremacy, so its impossible for straights to have pride for themselves, because they aren’t oppressing themselves.
@@9sunsjuddleponk facts.
No
We don't teach you to be ashamed things have changed now its not such a big deal now, guess what your pride worked and im hapoy for you dosent mean straights cant uave pride too
@@He_Saves Maybe we have different opinions about what shame means. People in the LGBT+ community are bullied, laught at, and disdained; we can lose jobs or have fewer opportunities in life just for being LGBT+. In Mexico (where I live) and many other places, we often get killed, and no one does anything about it. Society teaches us to be ashamed by letting us know that we are not normal, and that we need to hide parts of ourselves to be accepted. In that sense, we are taught to be ashamed of being LGBT+.
Of course everyone has a right to be proud of who they are: straights have that right too. But for us, Pride is a movement to claim a safe place in the world, to tell everyone that we exist and we resist, because this world has been hostile to us, and that has to change. That's why straights don't need a pride: nobody tells them that they shouldn't exist.

Last year during pride month, my mom was ranting about a pride ad. "I don't get celebrated for being a white, cishet, women"
The reason why pride exists is because we're still fighting. We only got the right to marry in 2015, and that's in America. There's still people who are being murdered and abused for their sexuality. They still have to hide.
We've made progress. But we're far from done. We still have a fight to fight.

Everything you achieve in life wether you consider it big or small is something to be proud of but it's also not something to feel ashamed about if you don't achieve that certain goal you set. We are all on different timelines in life and no two paths are the same, so comparing yourself isn't the way to live. Don't just do something for the sole purpose of proving that you in fact can do it. Asking for help doesn't mean that you have failed failing to ask for help however is failing yourself because you are not giving yourself the best opportunity to grow and flourish your full potential No one can do something correct 100 percent of the time. Be you, live your best life and don't let anyone's judgement hinder that.

2013 (I think) was the year of Luigi. Nintendo did this to give Luigi, a character with not as much representation as his brother, Mario, a chance to shine and get more recognition. They released Luigi-based games and media, including Super Luigi Bros. It was really fun and nice to see a secondary character getting more recognition.
Straight pride month would be like a year of Mario. Mario is the main character in almost every game he’s in. It’s always “Mario Bros.” “Mario Party,” “Mario Kart,” Luigi is there, but he’s always a secondary character. Just like real life, LGBTQ+ people are a minority, cishet people are always more recognized and have far more media representation. Let the LGBTQ+ community have their month like Luigi had his year. Cishet people don’t need a month and Mario doesn’t need a year, because they’re already almost always in the spotlight.
My dad: Omg not that many people are gay! It's a trend the internet did to make a bunch of normal kids think they're gay!

I was in Salem with my homophobic dad and every store had a pride flag in it and one store had a shirt that said, “be gay, do witchcraft” with a pentagram filled in with rainbow, and the cashier asked if I wanted it and I told them that I would but my dad wouldn’t let me so she asked if I had money and I said yeah, and she let me buy the shirt and gave me a regular Salem shirt to cover it in the bag, so now I have my favorite shirt just to piss of my dad when I come out
That is amazing
"Is it straight month now?"
I'd say this is fair.
Gays get one month. Straights get one month. The other ten months of the year are for furries!
WOO
Lol
The three sexualities
1. Straight
2. Gay
3. FURRY

@@UmongusSussehFrusseh it’s a joke, pls don’t go screaming bi erasure.
I asked my mam for some "bloom into you" books (she didn't know what it was about when I asked for it) but now she's getting me even more Yuri manga that's showed up under the recommended section on Amazon and was talking to me about how sailor moon was the first Yuri manga and stuff and I know this story is random but it makes me really happy because my mam has a tendency to say or do homophobic things without realising and she hurts me without realising (I hope) so little things like this make me happy
‘Representing a straight family I assume’ my brain: both the kids are definitely not straight no way
Statistically the more kids you have the more likely you are to have a LGBTQ+ child ironic since the bible says be fruitful and multiply and Christians sometimes say the Bible condemns homosexuality
@@theemofemboycatgirlw3214 FRUITFUL 💀 I JUST REALIZED WHAT THE BIBLE MEANT
@@theemofemboycatgirlw3214 Be "fruitful" idk, man... Seems a little fruity to me
@@giyuutapioca845 yep it didn't mean make babies so those babies grow up and make babies he was saying make babies for those babies to turn out gay to control overpopulation
@@Pinxy_P yep
Why are so many people so insecure about other people fighting oppression and wanting equal rights? It literally makes no difference/is no threat to anyone else. Frankly, it's ridiculous we even still have these conversations. Love is love.
“Equal rights for everyone doesn’t mean less rights for you. It’s not pie.”

No they are not ok
My mom always says that "we tried to do a straight pride, and it didn't work, you know why? Because we understand that having pride in being LGBTYXZ (mocking the community) and being an anomaly is just dumb"
And she says that to me... A closeted pansexual non-binary who has to pretend to be straight and cis.
But anyways, how's your day going?
Edit: Thanks for everyone who has been so nice to me here! And yes, I will get out of here as soon as possible and my day is going great!
Good, how about yours?
I'm a closeted enby as well, but more openly polysexual bc my parents don't believe trans/nb people are really their identity. :D I am well, hope you are too. Best wishes!
it's actually going quite well. Watching Jamie's videos in between driver's ed is great. My two online classes have both given me a break week at the same time, so I am getting as much driver's ed done as possible. I'll be scheduling my third drive later today :]
Hope u get out of there!
@@Schnort oh hey good luck on your driving test :)
In a major step forward for straight rights, Disney announces their next movie will feature their first heterosexual character
Do you know what movie or series?

@@demetria-n aww, they're so supportive! /sar
I’m from Stanislaus County, and I have never in my life facepalmed harder then when I saw that there was a straight pride here. 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ Of course.
I think my favourite quote from Jamie is now "They are just living in this black and white toilet door life."
they do realise theres multiple sexualities and genders celebrated in pride month right? like we DONT get a whole month each like they seem to think, if ur really that upset u dont get a straight pride month celebrate ur pride or whatever in pride month
You can tell these people have probably never had to do anything hard in their lives
Those people make me appreciate being bi. And now I want to aggressively sit in more chairs wrong, and display my clear phone case. 😂💖
Think of pride as donations. There are the rich and well-off, and there are the less privileged. Charities help the less privileged get back on track. No one asks for charities for the rich, because they don’t need it. They’re already fine. Same with pride. There are the straights, and there are the gays. Gay pride is to help defeat discrimination towards gay people, and give them easier and more equal lives. Straight pride shouldn’t exist because their lives are already good and privileged enough.
So in your head
All straights are rush and healthy
Yeah nice no Scotsman argument
@@BurningRubber454 i literally never said that and if that's what you got from that maybe you should develop your reading comprehension skills just a bit more before you come and talk to me
@@BurningRubber454 i mean, straight and cis people dont get made fun of, mocked, discriminated, murdered, driven till suicide, all based on something that makes them themselves.
so no i wouldnt say Lgbtq+ people are more privileged.
ofcourse Straights can always also have a bad life, but they will never face the oppression we face. do you know how often ive been harassed for being not cis? or how often I've been sexualized because i am Bisexual?? more than i can count.
But please continue playing the victim
@@BurningRubber454 as if you are the victim here. youre not. get over yourself.
As one of "The straights"... NO, we really don't want this!
Then you’re not part of “the straights” ^^ your just a straight person (not part of that small amount of people like that)
I find it funny when straight people say we stole the rainbow when actually the rainbow has seven colours including indigo while the pride flag has six colours excluding indigo.
i don’t understand why they need to be the centre of attention when they are for the majority of the year???
Ikr
it usually happens when people cease to realize how privileged* they are, or what power they own
When people push for equality, those with privilege view it as oppression
Narcissists can't bear to not be the center of attention for a second.
Like, be proud of who you are, no matter your sexuality, your gender, your gender presentation,... . But Straight Pride™ just isn't it, man. It's, like, completely missing the point of Pride
But most people don’t take pride month to be “be proud of who you are” most people, including people in the lgbt community take it as “were more awesome cuz we are gay month”
2:30 As an American myself, I can proudly say....I hate this. I hate this with every fiber of my being. They want to be treated like how how they treat the LGBTQ+ community, alright. Let's give them all the fun worries, like "Will I be kicked out of my home for loving who I love?" or "Can we go on a trip there? I have to check the local laws there to make sure we're legal there." and, most importantly "Can I even come out of the closet, or will I be completely disowned by everyone I care about if I do?"
“Look in nature. It’s gay.”

It has been said before
I'll say it again
Straight pride = every church event I've ever been too and traffic.
The best comparison that I can make is that pride is like a veteran's day march.Showing gratitude to the ones who helped pave the way and showing support to those who stuck in bad times.
There’s actually some disagreement among Californians how to pronounce Stanislaus County’s name:) I don’t pronounce the ‘S’ at the end of the name
I’ve always pronounced it like “stannis-loss”
Yeah, it's a weird one. I've heard it in every variation from not pronouncing the "s" to clearly pronouncing it, and everything in between.
Are y'all some fellow Modestans?
@@marymcewen3610 I am not a Modestan myself but a good friend is. We share many views but strongly disagree at the name of the county haha
@@marymcewen3610 Nah, just a fellow Californian. Only time I've been in Modesto was once or twice when my stepmom lived there. That said, it's still one of the places in California where I've seen the most hearty debate about how in the heck you pronounce the name.
This entire time, I was hoping this was a joke.
I don't even know what to say to this second hand embarrassment.
Straight pride is kinda like a bunch of bullied kids start a group of friends and their bullies feel ledt out so they try copying them while telling them that they wouldn't be friends if they weren't there, since they bullied them all at the same time
I hate that people forget/don't know that July is DISABILITY PRIDE MONTH. We struggle with our rights and place amoung society and it breaks my heart that the straights tm claim it as thier own month. It goes to show how many people don't bother to figure out/don't care about our plea.
Really? I didn't know that
And I am blind so this isn't a privileged person not knowing about the minority, I am that minority and still didn't know we had a pride month
👩🦯🙎🙍🙅
@@lahlybird895 We do and I'm glad that you know now. I wish I was able to say something sooner though cuz you just missed it.
@@NonBinary_NonHuman I'm going to have to remember that!
They already have straight pride. AKA 11 months of the year
what a perfect sponsorship. I was at the dentist yesterday and my teeth aren't doing too well so I'm definitely in the market for new dental products
"Heterosexual marriage is necessary for human survival!"
Me, a gay unmarried trans guy with two kids: "am I a joke to you?"
Yeah.
I feel the need to share this but I have the calendar with playbills as the photos (because I’m a huge theater person) and for June they had the pride version of the playbills and it just makes my little bi heart happy
As a gay who’s birthday is in July they better stop
Ok, I think we should do a “in the closet parade” and just say to our parents/friends/idk we’re going to our friend Jenna’s house
Rather say Dorothy lmao. Being a 'friend of Dorothy is a way of saying you're part of the LGBTQ+ community
*seeing the title* oh boy. It's back. Let's get into it
People who celebrate Straight Pride come off as those kids who got upset when someone who broke their leg or were wheelchair bound got to ride the wheelchair-access elevator back at my school.
It didn't matter that those students needed the elevator because going up the stairs was impossible for them, all that mattered was that the more able-bodied students "WaNt tO aVoId THe sTAiRs ToO."
I realised I was Bi over ten years ago and I still struggle with being proud of who I am. This years pride month was particularly hard for me as I finally got married to my opposite sex partner, now people are saying my Bisexuality was just a phase and a lot of other awful things. I feel I’m taking one step towards accepting myself and one step back all the time! Pride is so important for us, we need that extra encouragement and community to help push ourselves to love ourselves.
When straight people are killing themselves at 14 because they’re being bullied for being straight then we can talk about straight pride.
It's "Stani-slaw" and sadly they are going to be having their 3rd one this year....it's not far from where I live.
😬

I am so sorry that you have to put up with that.
Any idea how many people show up to something like that? Do we even want to know?
Get a bunch of heterosexual lgbt supporters join in with rainbow flags.
1:47 We have those invitations to parades thingy here in Pakistan. But instead, it's to invite you to the marriage ceremony of Chicken wings and rice :D
They have something in common too. They're both ridiculous jokes.
Wait, what? Like chicken and rice represents marriage?
Pride month isn't just "I'm proud because I'm Queer!". It's "I'm proud because I'm Queer, and for so long I wasn't allowed to be."
I love your profile name! It sounds like a fun video game level!

Thank you, I'm glad you like it!
Oh a House is on fire, quick extinguish it with water.
Straights wo live next street- this is so unfair i want water too for my House!!!
My birthday is in July, HELL NO they don't get that month. Give them like "beginning of December" when the weather is really crappy and nobody is happy... kinda like The Straights.
people who want straight pride are like the same type of people who got presents on their sibling’s birthday
As a cis Mum of 3 adult-kids, each with a different gender... I find your straight pride and anti-LGBT content really difficult to watch. Appreciate you & Shaaba very much, seeing genuine human beings is something that brightens my day. Much Love
I should add... I love the rest of your content! x
