This will happen when “White History Month” comes into being. As in, never.
I volunteer to be Grand Marshal of the first “Straight Pride” parade.
Gee whiz, Nancy! You posted your article ~IN FULL~ on these two websites -

http://floppingaces.net/2009/06/05/heterosexual-pride-month-reader-post/
But you excerpted it on FreeRepublic. What gives? Don’t the readers here at FreeRepublic deserve the same courtesy as those at Flopping Aces or Conservative Truth?
Are you a trying to be a member of the FreeRepublic community? Or are you just pimping for hits?
Please don’t tell us that FreeRepublic “asks for an excerpt” as you did on Friday April 15th. We already cleared up that misconception on your thread right here -

Oopsie! Looks like you posted ~IN FULL~ on a couple of other websites as well!

When is "Adultery Pride Month" going to be recognized?
I have no complaint if a good conservative blogger posts his own material to FR, not as an excerpt to drive hits and discussion back to his blog, but rather to impart useful information to OUR readers and to promote and join in on the discussion and conservative activism HERE on FR.
If a blogger can’t or refuses do that, and if he constantly complains or fights with our participants over it, then I’d just as soon he doesn’t post here. It’s not my job to make his content or his presentation or cooperation acceptable to our readers. That’s his job. And if he cannot do it or refuses to do it and continues posting brief excerpts only and obviously attempting to draw away our participants while loudly complaining about it, then I have no sympathy for his complaints and the more apt I am to ban his account and blog.
Since you haven’t expressed any objection to your work being posted in full, here it is -
Heterosexual Pride Month
Obama came through on his campaign theme of ‘equality’ Monday by proclaiming June as “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month.” Obama lauded what he calls “the determination and dedication” of the LGBT movement.
In the same spirit of equality, I’d like to propose July to be designated as Heterosexual Pride Month in hopes of drawing attention to and appreciation for traditional moral values and marriage as practiced by heterosexuals. Heterosexual Pride Month could be an occasion to focus on the joys of being heterosexual and monogamous. And the determined and dedicated Americans who practice both.
Heterosexuals, whom I’ll call ‘happies’, seldom have their voices heard or their sexual practices mentioned. Although a majority of Americans are happies, they are loath to flaunt their bedroom habits in public. Blame an ingrained sense of outdated modesty.
Most happies are advocates of traditional marriage and cling to the notion that sex should be a private affair. Some even believe that sex is a matter between a man and his wife and believe the government has no right to dictate or influence what they do in the privacy of their own bedrooms.
Some happies go even further and believe that God made Adam and Eve (not Adam and Steve) for a darn good reason. Most happies also believe that their sexual habits should not be thrust into the faces of those who feel differently. They call it, well, just good manners. Both of these views would be excellent topics for discussion during Heterosexual Pride Month.
Since the traditional family has long been considered a vital component of civil society, we could also use Heterosexual Pride Month to emphasize and explore the social compact that traditional marriage used to signify.
Now that Obama has brought tolerance back into vogue, I recommend using Heterosexual Pride Month as an occasion to voice the legitimate moral objections many Americans (57%) have to gay marriage and the plethora of sexual practices that Obama, in the name of equality, is demanding all Americans not only accept, but endorse.
I’d be willing to host a discussion on the topic of homophobia, and explore why 98% of happies are automatically labeled homophobic if they dare to comment on what they legitimately consider an aberrant lifestyle.
Another panel discussion during Heterosexual Pride Month could deal with wether or not gender should be optional. We could then explore the harmful effects of indoctrinating impressionable young children into the idea that gender and/or sexuality is merely a lifestyle option. Special emphasis could be placed on the documented detrimental effects of the gay lifestyle.
We could then go on to discuss the physical and mental health implications of gay vs. happy, and finish off with a quick overview of the Constitution and the role of government in dictating moralality.
Heterosexual Pride Month will necessarily present quite a challenge, as many heterosexual couples these days are so busy working to pay their taxes and raising children that many of them just don’t have the time to devote to activism.
Besides, most happies believe its not right to force their views of marriage and happiness on others. On this point, President Obama concurs. Just last Monday he said that the United States cannot impose its values on other countries. I’m sure he also meant ‘on other citizens.’ This could be another excellent topic for discussion.
In the spirit of inclusion, I’d like to extend an invitation to the LGBT movement to join us happies in making Heterosexual Pride Month a reality. With all of us working together we could have a real multicultural event with lots and lots of dialogue.
