So how come straight people aren't allowed to have flags?

[nac386]

Well answered.

Damn, I thought for sure you were going to hit me with the, "No double standards are okay," response.

I was always bothered about there being BET. But white guys don't get a WET. Could you imagine the tears? Lol

Hahaha, you know I wanted to, but you gave some persuasive examples of reasonable double standards. Not sure what the running tally is, but for today Nac 1 - Inga 0, lol.

That flag is either a symbol of secession or slavery.

I think you're confused what "straight" means.

 

[luckyshot]

When do I get my “I don’t give a fuck about your silly culture war/ identity politics back and forth fuckery” flag?

 

[HomerThompson]

There's only one flag, imo:

 

[Madmick]

Except that you aren't "joking". Indeed, you are confused.

Neither is this

Actually, it is. It highlights a vapid counterargument. That in itself is a counterargument.

This, on the other hand, is more empty whinging.

I was joking, could care less if you think I was or wasn't.

You don't see it like that because you were never part of the persecuted group.

Many people are still killed for being gay or trans. These people have struggled for basic human rights throughout history and to imply that straight people need a flag or day of recognition is just insulting.

Flying a straight pride flag is similar to flying a white pride flag. The only thing it does is antagonize.

Because having someones sexuallity slammed down our throats is always not antagonizing.

 

[oleDirtyBast4rd]

Because making a flag for straight people sounds kind of gay.
I mean who thinks I am so straight I need my own flag?
Sounds more like someone with conflicted feelings trying to prove to himself that he is in fact straight.

So that gives gay people a reason to cry about straights having a flag?

 

[oleDirtyBast4rd]

omg...

"how come they can do/have it but we can't???!!!"...

you fuckin' crybabies I swear... lol

You saw the people wanting their own flag as crybabies and not the people triggered by a straight flag?

Lol the cognitive dissonance

 

[MicroBrew]

This happened in a small Canadian village

They put up a Pride Flag first and later on put up a flag to represent straight people.

And people went crazy and it had to get taken town. What's the problem? They get a flag and we get a flag? Why are they anti our flag and get mad when people are anti their flag ???

Here's the article: http://www.country94.ca/news/1312340385/chipman-faces-criticism-flying-straight-flag

I want to talk about this one

Because straight people are the overwhelming majority, have been in power, are in power and have never been suppressed.

 

[Madmick]

Okay. I fail to see the humor, clearly.

The straight flag looks like code for prison sex.....

 

[InternetHero]

We should all get "Straight Pride" tattoos of a big-huge object to impress upon others how straight we are to everyone.

It should point upwards of course, have a broad dome to inspire greatness again, a long and strong rigid body to make our enemies cry, and be buttressed by two supportive spheres that will never yield their potency to anyone. A monument to our power!

Majorities don't need flags

 

[Phr3121]

I'm not seeing it like that, I'm just seeing a flag that people are getting upset about for no reason. Unless sinister reasons are revealed later, I don't see any.

Agreed. The same goes for this flag...

 

[Clippy]

Agreed. The same goes for this flag...

That's a totally different scenario alltogether and you know it

 

[FrontNakedChoke]

I just find our world so confusing

You can wear a pride flag and that's fine

But you put up something celebrating straight pride and it's not fine?

you can have straight pride without being against gay pride and vice versa

This is so fucked

We live in a world where you can't say "all lives matter"
