State and national organizations who represent the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community are expressing outrage over t-shirts bearing the slogan “Straight Pride” offered for sale at a Saturday rally of the Tea Party Express.....
....Gay advocacy groups say the shirts are reminiscent of the “white pride” slogan adopted by racist groups who oppose equality.

I certainly hope that there are a large number of black people that are offended by the "gay rights" groups constant comparison to the civil rights movement.
I’m more tired of them (lefties and degenerates in general) hi-jacking the English language.
Quit calling them “gay”. They are HOMOSEXUALS.
Interesting how these whiners suggest it is OK to discriminate against white males. I guess discrimination is not a bad thing when it is against whites. Of course the Black & Hispanic Caucuses think the same thing as do all these other groups.
I never say “that’s so gay,” but that commercial gave me an overwhelming desire to start saying it all the time.
Same here. Truth is, I don’t go out of my way to impose my viewpoint on them, but I deeply resent having theirs imposed on me, AND if I’m not comfortable with it, there’s something wrong with ME? I’m afraid not tinkerbell, I’m just fine.
Now where do I get my damned shirt? :)
“I saw a commercial recently lecturing viewers not to say “that’s so gay!” and ending with, “KNOCK IT OFF!”
How about “queer as a three dollar bill?”
And the black power posters.
My FIRST suspicion is that the vendor is an infiltrator trying to make us look like bigots...
Did it work?
If it did, who’s fault is it?
“Gay advocacy groups say the shirts are reminiscent of the “white pride” slogan adopted by racist groups who oppose equality.”
NO the aren’t. More like wearable parody.
There were some highschool students a while back that had shirts with girl/boy stick figures holding hands with the words “straight pride” on them,
so this is not a “new thing”.
I assert there is nothing more “bigotted” about proclaiming your pride in being a “majority” or “normal” group than proclaiming your pride in your group based on some attribute that makes you a minority.
The stench of liberal victimhood requires the soap of common sense.

I prefer to use the term QUEER. Even small children and foreigners who aren’t up on the PC understand the definition of QUEER.
And in other news the sun came up this morning.
Yes, I'm thinking I'd like one that says "White, Straight, Christian Pride."
I bet you could make some money.
Do they not understand their hypocrisy? It’s ok to be proud if you are gay but not if you are normal? Are we living in a parallel universe or what?
