Yep, you read that right. Straight people, who are notoriously discriminated against for loving John Mayer, centuries of colonialism, and wearing cargo shorts, want a Pride parade of their own!
Some heterosexuals in Boston wanted their own "patriotic parade" so badly that they apparently filed a discrimination complaint against the City of Boston. It's now tentatively happening at the end of August.

Needless to say, Twitter is absolutely eviscerating "Straight Pride" the best way it knows how...with memes.
\u201cA more accurate name for the Straight Pride Parade would be Incelebration.\u201d— Adam Best (@Adam Best) 1559666351
\u201cIsn\u2019t a straight pride parade just the drive thru line at Chick-Fil-A?\u201d— Christine Thompson (@Christine Thompson) 1559666614

\u201cOnce straight people are brutally beaten, denied fundamental human rights, denied health care, killed, and kicked out of their homes just for being straight, then there can be a straight pride parade. Until then, sit the fuck down and stay quiet.\u201d— Ellie Bowman (@Ellie Bowman) 1559667563
\u201cStraight Pride Parade????? FUCK OFF!!!!!!!!\u201d— Smash Mouth (@Smash Mouth) 1559672286
But one Tweeter had a warning on the group organizing "Straight Pride."
\u201cQuick reminder that as funny as the Boston "Straight Pride Parade" is, it's being organized by a known violent fascist and will likely feature the usual litany of MA/CT/NH fascist agitators that try to organize a rally every couple months\u201d— Gnome Chomsky(\u2018s email) (@Gnome Chomsky(\u2018s email)) 1559669330
