News of a “straight pride” parade is going down as well as you’d expect

June is Pride month, a time for celebration of LGBTQ+ communities via parades and high-profile events, which shouldn’t be a problem for anyone, unless they have to get across a parade route in a hurry.

With pathetic inevitability, some men aren’t happy about it and three of them have gone so far as to plan a “Straight Pride” parade in Boston – presumably to make up for the centuries of persecution experienced by straight people for their sexuality. Oh, wait …that didn’t happen.

Twitter has been treating it with the disdain it deserves.

They're planning a "straight pride" parade in Boston, presumably to commemorate that historic moment when courageous heterosexual frat bros finally stood up to the gay cops who had been harassing and arresting them for decades.

The straight pride parade will be mostly men because very few women will get to come.

A more accurate name for the Straight Pride Parade would be Incelebration.
