When a sudden lack of privileges feels like oppression.
Other groups are having that recognition to normalize acceptance, to push back at being shamed and attacked. The straights have had no such history, they have always been held up as the standard accepted default state. For them to have any sort of “pride” is to punch down to other oppressed groups.
It's never been socially shameful to be straight, therefore "straight pride" is generally seen for what it is: purely a bad-faith reaction to LGBTQ+ pride statements. Same for "all/blue lives matter".
The people who post stuff like this probably know that, but it makes them feel clever I guess.
This right here. It’s okay to be proud of your heritage and your community, even if you are a cis het white male in middle America. It would be unfair for people to try to take that away from you.
However, we all know when someone posts this it’s not really about pride in their community. It’s rage bait in the hopes of discrediting a minority group and that’s just hateful.
