Immediately, Twitter began to clown the guys. Recently, three dudes in Boston wanted to prove how oppressed they really are as straight people by requesting a permit to host a 'Straight Pride Parade.' Some people insist on taking it a step further. But every year during Pride month, like clockwork, there are always a few huffy clowns that come out of the woodwork to ask, 'What about me? Where's my parade?' It's like a kid at someone else's birthday party who cries when the birthday child opens gifts, but they don't get one too.

Straight pride is neither real nor necessary. What's a pride parade without the rainbows, the public displays of LGBTQ love and community, and a history of resisting oppression spanning decades? A straight parade.
