If heterosexuals ever become "reviled" in society, then a "straight pride" parade, demonstrations, etc., would be totally appropriate. . . I'm for equality for EVERYONE!

I am very proud to be straight! I am aso very proud all my family is straight.


I think it would be a great idea to have a straight pride parade celebrating traditional marriage and the generations traditional marriage produces, a full family tree.

It would be no more homophobic them a gay pride parade is heterophobic.

BS. You have had your gay pride parade in NY long before you started calling for "equal rights". I don't have any problem with that. From what I hear it's a fun time and I wouldn't say to stop it. But if there was ever a straight pride day, look out!

Ok, how many homosexuals walking around holding hands and kissing each other in public are needed to reach a critical mass? One doesn't have to go far to see a "gay pride parade" at the movie theaters, shopping malls, amusement parts, and on and on on.

How would you prove they were straight?

You don't really understand the ACLU, obviously, because they would actually be supporting it and defending their right to have such a parade.

.
As of 2003, 43.7% of custodial mothers and 56.2% of custodial fathers were either separated or divorced. And in 2002, 7.8 million Americans paid about $40 billion in child and/or spousal support (84% of the payers were male).

I'm really sorry, but your previous statement proves you really have no knowledge of how the ACLU works, even on a basic level.
