Members of the gay community do harass/hate on straight people a lot and this is the product of that.
However it's still ****ing stupid. Who's marriages are legal again?

There's no need for a straight equivalent because they've never had to hide or been made to feel less than for their sexualities.

They don't need to pass a checklist of tribulations to be entitled to celebrate their pride, if they want to celebrate it why shouldn't we let them.

It's not like any of us would show up there anyway. 
So what's the issue again? I mean, as long as it isn't being used as a anti-gay propaganda, it's not a big deal.

Do you even understand why gay pride is celebrated?

I kind of agree.
Also, I don't see why people are whining about this. Let them do them and you do you.  If it's a gathering just to be homophobic and trash the gay community, then yes, it's a problem and should be stopped. But until then, I don't really see how it's any of our business.

I see many members of the LGBT community (mainly on tumblr) telling straight people their problems don't matter so they should check their privilege, saying things like "Straight people need to die", telling those straight people they harass that they should kill themselves. It's ****ing toxic. No **** people are going to want to fight back and not stand up for a group that they only saw hate from.

...................Well let me see why that is????
Who are the people blocking us from rights and marriage? I believe it is heterosexuals, so yes, I would presume gay people, such as myself, have a reason to be bitter and upset.
Your never going to have a perfect Gay Community that is going to be all 'peace and love'..... NO. You are going off opinions off TUMBLR???????? woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow
SMH at your ignorant comment.

You can't be proud of something that people don't hate you for

This.
Straight people obviously don't get as much as hate as gay people, and it's not in the same level at all, but if they want to celebrate "Straight pride" they should be able to.  Everyone should be proud of who they are!

Preach.
Straight pride is unnecessary and most advocates for it are probably bitter homophobes.

oh my god. I cannot believe some of you.
"Gay Pride is ridiculous"
EXCUSE ME? Being proud that I'm someone who has to endure hurdles heterosexuals don't have to face and successfully conquer them? And even when I don't, still be able to accept myself and be happy that I'm myself?
Get out of here with that.
Heterosexuals have no reason to be proud of their straightness just how whites have no reason to be proud that they're white. There are no grounds there.
Saying you're proud to be straight is LITERALLY and ONLY saying that you're proud that you're not gay.
You're proud that you're the norm in society. You're proud you have an ideal sexuality. You're proud you're naturally what humans are ~supposed to be.
THAT is sickening and WRONG.

The only thing wrong with the picture is "this upside down, politically correct society we live in." That could imply that gay rights are upside down, but I'm unaware of their true intent. The saying "straight pride" is also stupid because it's mocking the point of gay pride, which is to celebrate our community and fight for our rights. It's dumb, it's really dumb, but lots of people are. Any of those little facebook picture things are ****ing stupid. But w/e do whatever you want. You wanna chant about how youre straight and proud go right ahead, idgaf. You'll like an idiot but

Yes. The point I'm trying to make simply is that straight pride isnt nor does it need to be as literal as gay pride; overcoming/ breaking out of oppression etc. We also celebrate gay pride for, you know, actualpride too, which is what straight pride is.

Thank you. We Gays do have a right to be SAD OR MAD, sometimes I rather die than be what I am.

This is the toxicity right here. You're implying that I'm saying gay rights are irrelevant because people are being attacked on tumblr. WHAT I SAID, was that the attacking is what is making these people make these things. People, like yourself and the person above, start clicking their tongues going "MIZZ THANG MIZZ HUNTY YOU ****IN DUMB CHECK YOSELF" to get your point across. That is not how you win with ignorant homophobes.

Sometimes the LGBT community hates on straights, which is unacceptable because we want acceptance ourselves.
