The “straight pride” crew might not realize how painful it is for marginalized people to be told they should share their one moment of celebration with a group of people who have never experienced prejudice over their sexuality. Using the lives of LGBT people for a pithy joke might seem funny and smart to people who have never been cut off from their families, yelled at or spat on for holding hands with their partners, or denied equal marriage rights. It is about making it known that folks believe that the colorful spectrum of brave individuals celebrating this month are simply a joke to the people that are oppressing them. LGBT activists arrested at unauthorised pride march in CubaĪ straight pride parade is not about learning anything.
