I honestly don't have any pride for being straight, and I have no idea why I should.

I've literally heard someone say "You'll be discriminated against for being straight in the US!"

Nah, bruh. It's not your straightness that's the issue— it's your stupid-ass views & shit-fuck opinions.

I mean with domestic violence rates as they are you could argue it's dangerous to be a straight woman pretty much everywhere.

In that case they should become feminists.

As a straight cis man, the idea of straight pride is pathetic. It's so easy, nobody ever questions you for it. There is no work in living your sexuality. Such a sad idea. Has those "all lives matter" vibes

Being straight is pretty dangerous on the sun, but considering it a country would require stretching the definition

Philippe I, Duke of Orléans's "homosexual activity was not unwelcome, because it was seen to reduce any potential threat he may have posed to his older brother."

That is a rare instance where being straight was more dangerous.

Straight pride is stupid.

If you are brown…the US.

[–] ImADifferentBird@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 2 months ago

That's a country where being brown is dangerous, not being straight.

Though being the straight partner to a brown person can be dangerous here (even if you yourself are not brown), so I guess it does work in a way.

They also fucked kids and had slaves, so I wouldn't look to the Greeks and Romans for your standards.

Not saying that gay is bad, just that your reference is.

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 2 months ago

It was only dangerous for slaves

Do you have a link about this? Not arguing, we are genuinely curious.

Do you know you're being disingenuous?

Straight people aren't being murdered for being straight.

None of your points are examples of how it's dangerous to be straight.

From what I observed the people who consider the concept of consent flawed and are discussing how it could be improved upon, so the safety and comfort of all people involved is protected seems, are the same people who fights for women's right. There is a great RadioLab dive in on the topic - I honestly couldn't recommend it enough). People who demands straight pride parades uses any edge cases of consent going wrong to weaponize it into "it happened, so the consent was there". If you're genuinely concern about safety and well-being of man, you're putting your effort in a wrong place.

[–] mustbe3to20signs@feddit.org 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Can you share a direct link to that RadioLab piece please?

[–] ideonek@piefed.social 4 points 2 months ago

of course. it was a multipar series called "in the NO" or simply "No". Here is the first part: https://radiolab.org/podcast/no-part-1

[–] Chip_Rat@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

No.

The answer to your first question is: "No. Not at all. That is independent of sexual orientation."

And "openly expressing an urge to fuck" at work vs "get in your gimp suit and party on a float" at a public event.... If you can't sus out the difference between those two situations, no wonder you are afraid of getting in trouble...

What a dumb argument.
