It's a parade of pride, not a protest.
You just basically parroted what the OP was saying and confirmed my criticism was warranted. The straight pride announcement has served its purpose already -- the Left has called for a permit to be denied (which the Democratic mayor of Boston rightfully disagrees) and outright mocked a group's desire to celebrate their immutable characteristics. It has garnered the reaction we already knew would further confirm that the Left absolutely detests equality, and merely uses it as a bludgeon to virtue signal and correct for history, and that a group's victim status is the determinant in judging their actions.
The idea that anybody -- solely based on an immutable characteristic -- can be determined to be more or less of a victim by virtue of their immutable identity, or the group's context historically, is ridiculous and profoundly illiberal.
What about heteros who were trying to move in to the Castro district in 2007? Weren't they the "other" facing discrimination? Are they privy, in your mind, to celebrate their sexuality?
Keep it up, liberals, Trump 2020 here it comes.
I've seen a few gay pride parades here in DC. Big-time party atmosphere.wifeisafurd said:
The hetro pride parade seems a rather bizarre concept. The gay pride parade may be serious in other areas, but when we lived in the Hollywood Hills, we got caught up in the traffic and saw the parade. A good portion of the parade (particular the crowd) was young straight people. It was really just a big party. I'm just not sure how anyone could be offended (other than for the lack of traffic control) by that parade.
It was not like a protest where people are saying things you could disagree with. Just a bunch people of having fun and. btw, making a lot of tourist coin for West Hollywood.
This is a little bit off topic, but gay marriage is big business for the economy.

Would not have thought it possible that we have people like this in this country.
I'm all for it too, because it exposes the j*rk off regressive liberals who feign respect for liberal principles like equality and tolerance.dajo9 said:

Would not have thought educated liberals could hold such disparate standards when it comes to celebrating sexual orientation. Yet here we are. Crazy!concordtom said:bearister said:

Those white nationalists are probably inbred. What's your excuse?

"All are welcome," reads the event's description. "Antifa (short for Anti-Fun) is not welcome because they oppose happiness and fun."
Quote:
It looks like the Boston Straight Pride Parade will happen. We filed a discrimination complaint and it appears the City of Boston understands they would lose in litigation. The city is now working with us on the parade.
Quote:
"Permits to host a public event are granted based on operational feasibility, not based on values or endorsements of beliefs. The City of Boston cannot deny a permit based on an organization's values," the mayor said.

So you definitely didn't even try to look up the origins of the parade on Wikipedia or anything.
These days it's more of a celebratory thing, but it started as a protest movement.

You can't be proud of your immutable characteristics unless we've conferred victimhood status to you and your tribe! We are totally oblivious to how this contradicts our virtue signaling about gays and equality!

Nobody's arguing the history of homosexuals. The straight pride, as principally dumb I think it is, is illuminating how hostile many of the pro-LGBT and city governments are to a basic concept of fairness that they themselves claim to be advocates. This thread is a microcosm of that. You don't have to assert that the grievances historically of straights and gays are equivalent. It's exposed the duplicity, absurdity, and hypocrisy of the Regressive Left.
As the mayor noted, things like "victim status" is not relevant, legally or morally, to the merits of obtaining a permit.
And if these same regressives say an individual's experience is of upmost importance, and can approve of race and gender being on a spectrum, why are the purported experiences of victimization of the heteros dismissed out of hand?

The only thing the last election was a "glimpse into" was the death throes of a political philosophy rapidly heading to the graveyard with the old, fearful, ignorant and hateful folks that believe in it.*
*But in light of the fact enough of them will still be alive for a while, that the Democrats are feeding on themselves like hyenas, and Russia and China are now best buds, the Clown Prince is a lock for a second term.

They're being dismissed because they don't exist. This is like saying, "When that guy claimed it snowed in Berkeley yesterday, why was his claim dismissed out of hand?" Because I was there and have eyes and could plainly see that it didn't happen. Heterosexuals have never been victimized for their sexual orientation (they may be for other reasons, but not for that).GBear4Life said:

I really don't know why you are claiming such victim status here. I told you, I want there to be a straight pride parade so I can know who the a-holes in my community are. You can have your a-hole parade. Make a statement to all the world how you can march too but for no reason except to throw a tantrum.
