I have just been looking around my SM platforms and noticing the tirade of anti LGBTQ comments almost everywhere nowadays.

I know this isn't new.
Most commenters proudly show their own colours or badges of allegiance as if we should be frightened into submission by their ill informed and generally irrelevant issuings...

There is much noise about why Pride exisits, yada, yada.

I came across a handy little visual earlier with simple words and phrases for the homophobes to be able to read.

“Straight Pride” isn’t a thing, nor should it be

@MikeInTheGarden just ask them to name a country where being straight is illegal

its 0

its illegal to be homosexual in 66

half of which are colonies just doing what Britain taught them

before we look down on other cultures from some supposed position of moral superiority

@MikeInTheGarden just a small niggle: Straights hand holding is mostly safe, but not always, when it involves heterosexuals who don't share the same colour.

@MikeInTheGarden And no one is erasing themselves just because they're straight

@MikeInTheGarden Full alt text (because I'm going to boost this):

Why isn't there a straight pride? Because: every day is straight pride; being straight was never illegal; no one got kicked out for coming out straight; no one got jailed for being straight; no one has to come out straight; no one protests straight weddings; there is no straight conversion therapy; no one is killed for being straight; straight hand holding is safe; no one asks if being straight is a phase; no one outed straight kids; straight history is not being erased.
