If a group of gays can march in a gay pride parade, I see no logical reason why a group of straights can't march in a straight parade. If the gays are simply celebrating their sexuality, why can't straight people do the same? Unless you are inferring that having a gay sexuality is somehow 'better' than having a straight one, because I would disagree with you; all sexualities are equal.
so in 1960s america when white people got treated alot better had more rights and black people got treated worse and had less rights,would you say it would be ok if white people have a white pride march even though they were the majority and had more rights.
i am not saying it is like 1960s for gays today but in america gays in most states can not get married,can not serve openly in the military(althouh i am not sure if its changed) can get fired for being gay in most states,gay teens are 4 times more likley to commit suicide,and gays are much more likley to be victim of hate crimes of straight people than staright people being the victim of hate crimes of gay people.
