People Are Loving This Woman’s Video About What Preparations For ‘Straight Pride’ Would Look Like
114Kviews
June is LGBTQ Pride Month – but not everyone wants to join the parade. In fact, a group of three conservative men associated with the group “Super Happy Fun America” want to have a separate celebration of their own – the “Straight Pride Parade,” an unsubtle dig at the LGBTQ tradition.
To be held in the city of Boston, Massachusetts, their website says they are “committed to creating spaces for people of all identities to embrace the vibrancy of the straight community.” In response to this ‘vibrant’ planned event, Brooklyn-based actor, writer, and comedian Eva Victor took to Twitter to share a hilarious parody video of her explaining to her boyfriend why they had to go to Straight Pride as she frantically prepares for it. The video has since gone viral with 92,183 retweets and 319,947 likes.

Comedian Eva Victor took to Twitter to respond to the call for a “Straight Pride Parade” with a hilarious parody video
Victor is seen in the video “addressing her boyfriend,” excitedly telling him that it is time to pack his bags because they are going to “Straight Pride.”
In the next shot, she appears to be responding to his question asking, “What is Straight Pride?” Many people were confused by the idea as Gay Pride is a celebration of visibility and overcoming adversity – something straight people don’t deal with.
She continues on and explains that the event will be a group celebration of straight people celebrating, well, being straight.
No rainbows and sequins, just some jeans and flats is all that is needed at this event.
Taking a jab at the organizers and supporters, she highlights the absurdity of Straight Pride because 364 days of the year “they have unbelievable unspoken privilege.”
Adding that with their new and exciting holiday, they would get ONE day to celebrate that.
I mean, come on. It makes total sense, right?
Doubling down on the comedy bit, she even adds some tears for effect, highlighting just how hard it is to be born feeling absolutely different from nobody.

Okay, I feel it is time for me to come out. Everyone, I am straight. Phew I feel like a weight has been lifted off my chest. Thank you for listening.
Wow... that is so brave. Well done and Be Proud.
Oh my God! II'm straight too!! We should totally meet at the next Straight Pride Rally. Us heterosexuals need to stick together to show there's strength in numbers. I know those gay people have a rainbow flag...what should we have? Dark Grey..or are you thinking lighter, like a solid Ecru.? What ever it is..it should be bland as F***. Yeah! Straight Pride Rulez!!!
I wa stinking a few shades of grey? Like , maybe 50? In a camouflage pattern?
Haven't you heard, the flag is already there - black and white stripes. Grey is way too colorful for real straight folks, you know...
Perhaps something with a lite skull motif? In a shade of lighter gray.

I've been considering it but...... how did your family take it?
Surprisingly well, they have felt the same all their lives too (who knew, it was a well kept secret) so they were very understanding. My gay brother on the other hand was shocked to say the least lol.
Wow, I never would have guessed! You don't seem straight!
I’m as straight as a ruler.
You are my he(te)ro! I hope that I will find the strength for my coming out tooo....
Because of your bravery, I too can now proudly state that I am also straight. (sidenote, I also cannot design a darn thing)

Being gay is a non-event. Just like a straight pride parade. That's the point morons.
I don't see what the problem with any of these parades are. Gay pride, straight pride, black pride, white pride. As long as it's done as an INCLUSIVE event and not with hatred or segregation in mind, they can all be good cultural events. Everyone in the US seems so caught up with segregating their little group and hating everyone else. Ragging on nonsense like "cultural appropriation", attacking one group or another because we feel underrepresented. Why can't we instead focus on sharing, not imposing, our great aspects rather than deriding others for being different? Just as an example; if you look at the Japanese they love to share their culture and see others enjoying it. But dumbarse Americans call it cultural appropriation, cause we're not allowed to enjoy anything outside of our little boxes apparently. At the end of the day show respect, regardless of their background. Enjoy your own (sub)culture, but don't push it on others. Enjoy their (sub)cultures, but don't disrespect it.
Straight people go to pride too. The one's who support the LGBT community.

Sure, why not
"Straight Pride" is not an inclusive celebration, it's a big "F**k you" to the LGBTQ community. It grows out of hatred and disgust and ignorance. The organizers feel that they are not being privileged enough, they want to be free to discriminate against "others" and can't stand that they get to "celebrate" their diversity. It's just hate, no love.
I dunno, this person's straight pride thing seems mostly satirical. A dig at the concept of pride parades. Nothing I've seen so far indicates they're doing it out of any kind of hate. That said, I haven't really kept up on it after the first day or two of news. Maybe it came out that it was hateful since then? Or are you just projecting?
Glad you can read minds, Jason.

Daniel, this person's straight pride satire is taking aim at a group of people who really want to throw a straight pride parade. Tacitus the people behind the straight pride parade are right wing extremists and do want it to be a big FU to the LGBTQ community. There is no mind reading needed.
I can get on board with that.
While I appreciate your point, it's important to understand just who is proposing this event: the same folks who wanted to export the Charlottesville incident to Boston. They are 1000% white supremacists and very proud of this association. They want to hold an event that places white males as the power brokers of our country. The fact that Trump is in favor of such an event should tell you what this is really about. Hint: not pride about anything expect being a racist, homophobic, misogynist.
exactly my thoughts.
Omg I needed this today! Lol
