Do you feel that with gay rights being increasingly embraced, the rights of straights are starting to get somewhat abused?
For example, a student at a school got in trouble for wearing a t-shirt that said "straight pride" because it would offend the homosexual students. However, the homosexual students have a day dedicated to homosexuality (no one was concerned it would "offend" the straight students?)

This picture sums up what my thoughts are.

It wasn't many years ago that being homosexual was illegal! I don't see a need to wear 'straight pride' T-shirts anyway, as being straight is 100% accepted, so it's just unnecessary.
We all have the same body parts & all. Ignorants.
If gay people can be proud of being gay, then straight people can be proud of being straight, it's just common sense.
Seriously. No one is telling straight people that they can't get married, and there's no one harassing straight people for being straight.
Nature shows it plainly that homosexuality is not designed. Statistics show it plainly that homosexuality is not healthy. Homosexuals show it plainly that it is not beneficial to society.
Wisdom shows us what is plain, the real problem is people want to do what they want to do, even when it is wrong. It's been going on since the beginning of time.
The last verse here says that "they know the judgement of God." Everyone has been given a basic scale in the heart to measure right and wrong. Even if we were to "omit" homosexuality out of the equation, everyone would still be caught by their own words and found guilty of doing wrong. Doing good deeds do not erase the wrongs we have done, they only cover them up. The problem here is, heaven is heaven because everyone there is sin-free. The only hope for us all is to have our sins completely forgiven rather than covered up. And Jesus is the only One who can do this.
“You know,” he begins, “you can keep throwing around insults like the one you just said, but it doesn’t do anything to stop what people do. We’re proud of who we are and what we do.”
“Wow,” I said with a straight face. “Way to go man. Way to stand up for yourself. But why’d you come over here? Was it because I said cocksucker?”
“Yeah,” he answered, “no shit!”
“So,” I continued, “gays are proud of what they are and what they do, and you’re here to defend that because you’re gay?”
“Yes!” he responded furiously. “Those are statements thrown around to make gays look bad. But we were born this way and are proud of it!”
“Well,” I said, “I can totally understand most of that. I can actually relate to most of it myself. See, I’m straight, and I too was born this way. And, like you, I am rather proud to say that. The one difference I see in us, however, is our different reactions to words.”
He stood there in confusion, unsure what gay quote he should be getting ready to resort to.
“See,” I begin while I’ve actually got one listening, “I use the term cocksucker, and you waltz right over here to defend your people against it. Meanwhile, you can call me pussylicker, tittyfucker, boobaddict, whatever the hell you want... and I’ll just be sitting here smiling. I won’t confront you about it, I mean why would I? You’re practically bragging about me.”
“What the hell are you trying to say?!” he exclaims.
“I’m trying to point out that no matter who you are, no matter how you say the two terms, dick-sucker and chick-fucker may rhyme, but ya just can’t fight the fact that one’s a degrading insult, and one’s not.”
By now he’s frollicking away to LaLaLaLa-icanthearyou-Land, with a little extra pep in his step, talking with more of a lisp than ever now. You know why? Cause he's got gay-pride ;) You stay classy San Francisco.
Straight people think that being gay is the end of the world, when actually it is the most sweetest thing ever.
Get over it people.
Gay rights should be given.
And just for the record, 'straight' rights or however you want to call it will always dominate over 'gay' rights, thats how its always been and thats how it always will be straight up.
You're nobody goddamned special, move the fuck along, and stop having these fucktarded "pride days" and "pride parades." you don't see us sane hetero folk going around praising that we make biological sense and actively pursue our opposite gender for happy-fun-time, do ya?
Nope.avi
gay folk are nothing special, need to grow the fuck up, and move along. you aren't legally entitled to marriage for one simple reason: Because you're a fucking statistical anomaly that has no place in nature. that's it. move along or go get a trophy spouse and fuck yer lover on the side. The last i heard, Polygamous Marriages were still Legal in the US. 2 dudes? go enter a 3 way marriage with some chick you both trust. 2 chicks? go find your male BFF and marry him and drive him insane.
PROBLEM FUCKING SOLVED.
Most gays don't think they are special, moreover they would prefer to not be thought of like that. And my brother and my friends have more a place in nature than your hateful bile ever could.
You have a problem with gay pride days? Take it up with your more than likely straight government officials and council members, seeing as they approved the event!
Your opinion is in the minority because the majority of the commenters disagree with this thread, yet you agree with it. Do you not know what the word minority means? I'm stating a fact, how is that being narrow minded? And why would I wish for that anyway? Your statement literally makes no sense.
Oh and please don't bother typing long comments, I don't want to waste anymore of my time reading your lame, gay irrelevant replies.
Uh...what? Maybe that's true for the rock you live under. I'd actually say that the views on this post in favour of gay rights are a bit more indicative of what people in the world think, but whatever. We still have a long way to go, thanks to people like yourself.
Not all of us treat others like shit based on who they are.
On another note: You seriously don't understand what narrow minded is, do you?
Its understandable why you seem kinda mad at my comments since you are probably gay yourself... No offence :)
Being called gay wouldn't offend me even though I'm straight. I only know a few gay people. I just don't believe in discriminating against people for how they were born.
I guess you live up to that name That was just painful to read. Truthfully Animals take Same sex partners all the time. In fact there is a species of fish where the female fish will become male fish later in life. There is a species of lizards that are all female,ANd they mate all the time. ._. So... Being gay is in fact a part of nature. Even male dolphins will screw other male dolphins. Monkey will have 'sword fights'. Just nature babe.
All that aside though, I don't see how gay rights could at all affect the rights of straight people. Really, I can't figure out a single reasonable way it could actually hurt anyone at all.
