Boston ‘’Straight Pride’’ approved by city officials
On the website of the parade, they claim that straight people have become an ‘’oppressed majority’’. One of the organizers said during a press conference: ‘’ “I agree it is unusual to have something like this, but a lot of things seem unpopular at first but then they become mainstream.’’
Furthermore, the organization claims that they do not hate anyone, but simply want to have their own celebration ‘’just like everybody else has a right to’’. They also say everyone is welcome to join their straight parade, as long as they show respect.
On social media, many expressed their disgust with the initiative, emphasizing that ‘’every day is straight pride’’ because straight people have numerous privileges that the LGBT+ community either does not have or did not have until recently.
