How is #straightprideparade getting under people's skin. People should be proud whoever they are irregardless of their sexuality... That's like the whole LGBTQ+ point? I thought they would support this kind of event. Instead it's people being bitter and resentful at them. Shock.

I think it’s because the thing was started with malicious intent from unsavory people, instead of a co-existing event.

Disagree? It was started by a couple of jokers who didn't ever bring up the LGBTQ community at all. The organisers clearly state nothing malicious here: https://www.superhappyfunamerica.com/parade/ 

Yeah it was latched on by malicious intent though. Even as a joke it’s a pretty tasteless one.

To be very honest I've seen a lot more hate from people against this then by people for it. (just type in #straightprideparade for example.) Also you may view it as a tasteless joke, I wouldn't say that makes the hate justified.

I mean you can always google by why people hate it. I’m saying just because you declare something a joke or a prank doesn’t mean it isn’t hurtful and people aren’t allowed to be hurt over it.

If a bully beat you up at school as a prank and say “lol just joking bro” doesn’t mean your pain physically and mentally automatically goes away.
