So this is what the 'Straight Pride' flag looks like...
When I first heard about a ‘straight pride’ parade, I thought it was some kind of hilarious Saturday Night Live skit, but alas, this shit is well and truly real! Apparently a bunch of straight white dudes in Boston got together and came to the conclusion that they don’t have enough already and decided to organise their very own parade.
Here’s a statement from organisers:
Quote:It looks like the Boston Straight Pride Parade will happen.
We filed a discrimination complaint and it appears the City of Boston understands they would lose in litigation.
The city is now working with us on the parade. We will have the streets closed and be allowed floats and vehicles.
The tentative date is 8/31 but will be finalised in the next few weeks.
If you would like to come as an individual, march as a group, or bring a float or vehicle, then get in touch.
This is our chance to have a patriotic parade in Boston as we celebrate straight pride.
...and here’s the flag they came up with. Yikes!
This was their first attempt at a ‘straight pride’ flag but then I think they realised it looked a bit too gay.
If you’re thinking the whole idea of straight pride is fucking ludicrous, you’d be correct, and here are a bunch of peeps who agree:

However, there are some who think it’s a great idea, like Fox News host, Tomi Lahren. But what can you expect from a republican:

I can’t wait to see how all this turns out. One thing I know - it’s going to be the lamest party ever!
