So people are angry about #HeterosexualPrideDay: the only three tweets you need to read
So on Twitter today #HeterosexualPrideDay is trending and people are FURIOUS.
Essentially the idea is apparently some Pride style day for people who aren’t gay, basically forgetting that heterosexuals aren’t and haven’t been historically stigmatised for their sexuality.
Here’s the best tweets:
1.
It's #HeterosexualPrideDay, the day I can go out into the street and just be myself without fear of abuse! Also known as 'Wednesday'.

The biggest tweets are the ones decrying it so we suspect Twitter is essentially being trolled, or the people on right side of this battle have won it HARD.
Still – we quite enjoy some of the tweets mildly mocking who a heterosexual pride icon might be:
