When you are safe and in the majority, you should be more humble than proud.

Today on Twitter I spotted the hashtag #HeterosexualPrideDay and threw up in my mouth a little. Thankfully it quickly became clear more people were mocking it than seriously trying to show pride in their struggle for heterosexual equality. This ridiculous need of those safely in the majority to co-opt movements and slogans of oppressed and attacked minorities is really gross and displays a unique blend of arrogance, ignorance, passive-aggressive assholishness and insensitivity to the legitimate struggles of people far less privileged.

If you’re straight and somehow feel threatened by LBGTQ Pride events and sentiments, you really need to look at what is really motivating you. Because it isn’t pride in being heterosexual, it’s a curious kind of insecurity at best and outright bigotry at worst.

Also? Go fuck yourself.
