"No hate at all, it's a love thing."

But also LGTBQ+ people are "disgusting and criminal".

This restaurant owner sure sounds Proud.

I mean, ok. Pride isn't exclusionary. Most gay people have straight parents, siblings, friends and so on. If you feel the need to celebrate being straight, that's cool. If you think you're a victim because you are straight then I might suggest some therapy.

I'm a straight dude and would love to socially meet more hetero women... but this sounds like the lamest and (ironically) gayest event I've ever heard of. Guaranteed it's going to be filled with ugly, un-fun, angry people counter-protesting. You know the type, critically concerned with what the fuck other consenting adults do...?

You know what would be the fucking best thing ever? If everyone showed up and was totally supportive. Like those hateful bigots are all marching and hollering and then here comes the pride parade with hetero banners and signs saying "Heteros Are Awesome!" and other really positive shit. And they'll be all like "We don't want your support," and we'll be like "Fuck you, pride is for all!" And maybe like one or two of them would be like, "Oh..." and then the world is a better place for a moment.

For a moment I thought you were headed inthe direction of LGBTQ rebranding "All Lives Matter".

Like some hateful biggot is chanting "DOWN WITH QUEERS" and then the Pride Parade marches in, and starts supporting them. And the hate parade tries to resist, and then the Pride people start saying they love everybody, and ALL lives matter. And then the hateful side says "WAIT! NO! THATS OURS, AND IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT!" And then the Pride people say "Too late! We've rebranded it now! We love you, baby!" And the hateful people are just confused like "what.....what just happened??"

You all heard it. This year Hedonism will be held on the front lawn of the Idaho capitol building.

My generation called that kind of party a “sausage fest.”

And not the fun kind.

Please be all allies... Please

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

It'll be filled to the brim with closeted gay men. Not allies, but not hetero either.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago (2 children)

That would be ironic if more pro-LGBTQ people showed up and paraded instead.

I’ve never seen it, but I’m already sure their flag sucks.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It'll just be a poorly-drawn bicep (for manliness) that looks suspiciously like a cock and balls.

They hate rainbows so it's just a white flag.

They should name it the White Pride Parade.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 days ago

Actually, there has been a straight ally flag for quite a while now it's not bad straight ally flag

So i looked it up and that without the rainbow 'a' is actually on Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight_flag

It's resemblance to old prison uniforms is quite ironic:

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Honestly, there’s no punchline better than this just being a thing.

Straight people celebrating being the ones to perpetuate the human race give argument for not perpetuating the human race

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I'm hetero, but I'm also happily child free.

But also I wouldn't attend this event. If people want to be gay, be gay. If people want to be christian, be christian. If people want to be a dinosaur, be a dinosaur.

I don't give a fuck what other people do. As long as they're respectful to everybody, and don't hurt anybody, that's cool. You be you.

Except for Andy Dick, whose last name is apt.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

False advertising! I want to be big strong fearsome dinosaur. Instead am fat disabled furry. 0/10 I'll leave an angry review on yelp! And the bbb will be hearing about this!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ehhhh, just hit the gym! You'll get stronger.

That's the gayest sounding name for a festival.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago

Most closeted thing I've ever heard.

[–] [email protected] 70 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Three cool dudes looking for other cool dudes who wanna hang out in their party mansion. Nothing sexual. Fitness encouraged. If you’re fat, you should be able to find humor in the little things. Again, nothing sexual.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That should be on a flyer, but it should have an attention grabbing shape. Like maybe a bicept.

Gonna be a lot of gross people that no one wants to fuck at that event.

I guarantee it.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 2 days ago (3 children)

What if they fuck each other?

[–] [email protected] 64 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That's... how Conservatives are made.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What if we took a page of Bob Barker's book and have them spayed or neutered?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Eugenics is from the conservatives' book.
