That Gay Thread

[Irreligious Atheist]

I can’t hear or read the words “straight pride” without thinking of this scene from Brüno.





And, no, this wasn’t staged; Sacha Baron Cohen actually did this in front of a real Arkansas audience.

I'm a bi ally for straight pride, it's ok to be white, and white lives matter. Now of course, there are plenty of shitheads in those movements, but the same goes for the pricks/bigots among LGBTQPers. Grammatically, it always should have been 'unapologetically' gay rather than gay 'pride', but as far as I'm aware, the pride part was maybe put there to poke at the ribs of Christians and the Bible, since it calls pride a sin? Not exactly sure of the history there and why it was called gay pride originally. Just guessing. Are gays really 'proud' simply for being born not straight, as if that's an accomplishment? Probably not, and the same goes for the straight priders, to a large degree. It's just supposed to mean that someone is unapologetically straight. Now, let's ask, do straights suffer discrimination? In real life, not really, but in online places of discussion, there is plenty of hate/discrimination/whatever you want to call it being thrown around by the LGBTQPers, and the black pride people. Oppression olympics. An endless stream of black folks or soy whites speaking on their behalf will tell us whites that we have no right to give an opinion or our opinion should be tossed aside because of white privilege. Now, white privilege in society is real, but that doesn't make my opinion count for less. A white millionaire like Vaush can speak more competently on black issues than the vast majority of black people he debates online. This, I think, is in part why so many conservatives will reject the reality known as white privilege. Because the soy folks weaponize us having white privilege and they weaponize their oppression to try to make it so white people don't get to have an opinion, or so that their opinion is meaningless, which is called racism of course, so there's no wonder conservatives will hand wave away white privilege and say f that, I'm not going down that path and I'm not even going to acknowledge your BS. White privilege is a real thing, but it can basically be code for "shut up whitey, you have no right to speak on this subject." Just like "trans women are women". It's a true statement in itself, but it's also a full of shit catchphrase, as when used in women's sports. "Trans women are women". Well, that's nice, but it's a completely irrelevant statement in connection to sports, and they try to use it as if the statement itself were an actual argument or even a trump card for why trans women should be allowed to compete. So, "white privilege" and "trans women are women" are both true, but given the context, they are also just BS catchphrases, so it's no wonder to me that these things are so controversial.

You see messages all over the place shitting on white, straight, cis men, and it only makes sense that some white folks would respond in kind saying yeah, f you, quit being racist pricks. It is ok to be white and white lives do matter, so quit it with your bigoted bullshit. Now, it's a good message, just like the LGBTQP side has had a good message for decades, but the hate is just consuming both sides. The LGBTQPers and the unapologetically straight and white people are just acting like a bunch of shit heads on both sides. According to the black power people and their soy white counterparts, even someone like Vaush is acting like a white supremacist, and if someone as left as Vaush is going to be considered problematic, then what the hell kind of chance do I have? Why should we even try if those are the standards we're expected to meet?

Here's a great video from Vaush, commenting on people online having a discussion about whether Anne Frank had white privilege. Social justice is of the utmost importance in my opinion. I care very much about it, but these people have clearly lost the plot.
