      Missing the purple, though.

      Having only two colors, clearly delineated, makes the flag worthless as a means of conveying anything, so they had to broadcast what it means with big, braindead-obvious symbols.

      Frankly, that definitely looks like a straight pride flag, in that it’s boring, binary, with absolutely zero sense of style, subtlety, or iconography.

    Isn’t being proud of your sexuality mostly a response to being shamed by bigots for your sexuality? Like: parts of society look down on my sexuality? Well fuck you, I’m proud of it! If you’re not being shamed at all, isn’t a bit weird to be proud of such things? As if you did anything to become a heterosexual. No one cares, nor should they.

      Yeah, that is the whole point. The whole point is not “I am proud of who I am attracted to”, the point is “I am proud of being open about who I am attracted to despite the bigots and social challenges”.

      Which is why there is no “straight pride”, “blond pride”, or “high school student pride”. There is no glory in doing something that is statistically speaking, completely devoid of interest…

    The two guys holding up the straight pride flag look like they unhappily fuck their wives at home once every quarter to prove that they don’t love the cocks that they shamefully suck every weekend.
