People Are Loving This Woman’s Video About What Preparations For ‘Straight Pride’ Would Look Like
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.

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.

Good point re: "straight privilege" I recall checking that box on my 1040 this year and got an extra $1,200 credit. It was sublime.

Well the comment section got a little depressing. FYI, the pride part of pride month is the idea that the LGBTQ community was persecuted for their sexuality and had to hide it away. It was seen as shameful and it came with an unbearable guilt and self-hatred. That still continues today with transgender women often being targeted and killed and kids committing suicide. The Pride movement is about rejecting that societal shame and being proud of who you are, just the way that your heterosexual counterparts can be proud of themselves and their relationships everyday. It is not saying that heterosexuality is wrong or that us straight people are inferior in anyway. It is simply a time where they can gather in hopes of one day enjoying the rights and acceptance that the heterosexual community has. As a heterosexual, my sexuality has never been challenged or discriminated against so there is no force that I have to challenge or assert my 'pride' over. Pride just means respect.

tbh straight people have never had to worry about getting the s**t beaten out of them for being straight, unless its mixed race or faith then yes they probably have had the s**t beaten out of them,

I love it. It's funny to be able to have banter. But please just remember this when there is banter about anything other than straight. Mmmmm see if everyone still has such a great sense of humour. I truly hope so.

Just because someone is heterosexual it doesn't mean that they can't be 'different' in a plethora of ways that might make life really really hard for them. Just saying.

While I support all sexualities, lgbt people have fought hard for their rights. Straight people can be proud that their straight, but pride isn't about being gay. It's celebrating that we have finally won our rights in a lot of places. Cheers!

Wow that was a roller coaster from start to finish and not the good kind. You don't need pride for something you can celebrate all around the world and have privilege for everywhere.

It’s the whole idea of being “proud”. The whole gay parades and events originally started to raise awareness, a way to be around like minded people and feeling included, and a way to express that they aren’t ashamed of who they are and that it is a part of them. The LGBT have had to suffer for thousands of years being beaten, tortured, killed, raped, spat on, abused, discriminated against, ostracised etc. Why does someone need to be “proud” they are straight. Who cares, we haven’t been largely treated like the LGBT community because of being straight. Who cares. Let us continue with parades etc since it has now become a tradition and more about acceptance and inclusion of everyone, having a lot of fun, and they bring profits to local businesses of where the events and parades are held.

You take "pride" too literally. We don't think that we are better than anyone else just because we are gay. It is called "pride" to show how we are not ashamed of being lgbt. Gay Pride is important because it allows us to band together and support one another. Your aforementioned omelet lovers have no reason to band together, as they are not a group that is discriminated against. You say we should "advance science and mathematics", "paint a great picture" etc. Believe me, this is what we want to do. But it is gay pride and the community support we gain from it that helps us live long enough to accomplish them.
