So we were at NYC Pride last month, kickin' it with our intactivist friends and the coolest queers from anyone's vagina. Everything seemed pretty epic.
But one thing even more epic launched days later. Heterosexual Pride Daygraced the digital network space on June 29th, a plea from straight folks for "equality" concerning sexuality in America.
That idea has, understandably, been subject to endless online trolling. However, we at HD in Effect can't help but feel that relentless ragefacing is misplaced. Instead of trashing Heterosexual Pride Day, the LBGTQ community (and friends) need understand one simple concept: Being straight in the U.S. is much, much harder than it appears.
After all, straight people are the default sexuality in this society, and by association, every other society in the world. Don't even try to dispute that fact! You can't. It's like trying to deny Old Time Europeans made this country great again, and their descendants will prove that catchphrase true...again...in November.
When you're the default sexuality, there's certain expectations placed upon you. We can't dillidaddle. Us straight men can't be weak or affectionate in front of our women (emphasis on "OUR"); we always gotta do her hard and fast, so we can get to our other females. And that hurts! It freakin' hurts! But hey, straight men gotta be straight men. No matter how sore things get down there.
And whenever some other straight guy steps to us? It's gonna turn into National Geographic, baby! Gotta show that modasucka who the real Mufasa is! That's tough to always have to do!
For straight women, it's just as hard. They gotta stay home and keep the place pristine, so us straight men can destroy her hard work when we return.
Straight women always gotta get the girliest lipstick and shoes. That's expensive! And when you have straight women coming in such varying shapes and sizes in this land of obesity, that's harder than anything any gay guys have EVER had to do in this great country.
Being straight here is super difficult without support. And that's exactly what Heterosexual Pride month provides us! Yeah, you LGBTQ's folks might have dealt with brutal police harassment, constant systemic exclusion and self-hating mass shooters, but we have to shoulder being the top dogs in this country!
Keep that in mind, folks. And give a toast to Heterosexual Pride Day!
