Remember, #furality is ok with straight pride events, as long as it doesn’t say “pride” in the name!

Don’t be filled by the mundane name, this is a straight pride meetup. Straight focused events are ALWAYS run by homophobic right wing snowflake chuds who HATE LGBTQ folks.

Staff are cool with straight pride, even if it is a “questionable” event!

@ScaledHams Okay, but at the same time, there exist those of us out there who are primarily — but maybe not exclusively — binary and hetero. If this is an event run by chuds, what might an event *not* run by chuds look like? Surely you're not telling me that all furs 0-2 on the Kinsey scale can fuck off... right?

@Bersl_feels_too You know well what I’m saying. Every one of these events turns out to be right wing homophobes. They’re NEVER just straight allies meeting straight allies. Time and time and time and time again, it’s the “straight pride” folks, bitching that queer folk have pride month so they do this shit.

I mean, why fuck do they even need this? They’re not the ones who have to worry about being assaulted or killed for their sexuality or gender identity.

@ScaledHams There's a very plausible alternative explanation:

They're hoping for girls to show up.

I'm not saying that this is successful. It often isn't. But the hope is there.

It's not necessarily malicious in intent either. Everyone who doesn't have someone wants to know who looks available.

@Bersl_feels_too If this was a “White Furs Meet” instead, would that be ok? I think a ton of folks would be upset then. But it’s ok when instead of “white”, it’s “straight”?

It’s the same people. The homophobes are racist, the racists are homophobes. They all fall under the same fascist right wing banner.

@ScaledHams @Bersl_feels_too ok but flipping that on its head, what’s the difference between the lgbtq meetups and your “white only meetup”. Both are exclusionary in nature. The fact is there’s nothing wrong with straight people wanting to meet up with straight people. It’s kinda fuckin weird that you think the very act of straight people meeting is homophobia...
