One learns something new every day; I didn't know there's a bible belt in your country.

checks wikipedia for "housewives"

very very mmmmwwahaha!

Surprisingly not too homophobic at all given how much of a global community this site has. Though I think the common nature of it's users--with the BL/WL system in mind--probably plays a role in that.

See the section in the OP that discusses this. In short, as straight people we are lucky that we don't need a month set aside for awareness of straight people and all of the special challenges we have to go through. We don't need to celebrate the advances we've made on making it socially acceptable to love somebody of the opposite sex despite the harassment, violence, and legislation trying to prevent us from loving these people the way we want to love them.

And you're not excluded-- you are perfectly welcome to celebrate with them!

The sheer stupidity of statements like yours is seriously astounding.

Congratulations on being the first one in the thread this year who thinks he came up with something new.
When people are killed, abused, segregated, imprisoned or assaulted for being straight, there will be a straight month.

Congratulations on making people mad. Now you can create a topic with "Avoid looking stupid, don't ask "where's gay pride month" 👍"

The reason is very simple. Because straight is the "default". You don't have people getting shunned by their parents because they're straight, getting told that they're bad because they're straight, having to listen to random jibes on the street because they are with their partner in a straight relationship.

Try hanging out with two gay guys who are fine with publicly showing their affection, and sit in a place where people can see them, and watch how people stop and stare, and whisper to each other how weird it is. That's not going to happen when you're out with a man and a woman who do the same thing.

And something that dawned upon me a few years ago is that pride month is not so much a way to bring attention to the fact that there are issues related to how homosexual people are treated (although that is a part of it) as much as it's a way to show other homosexual people that there's nothing wrong with being homosexual. Many people who are homosexual do feel like there's something wrong with them, as they get told by people around them that there is. You may or may not be fine with homosexual people, I don't know that, but imagine someone who's parents are not, and they constantly get told that they are at fault? Imagine how much the kind of support that pride month brings to someone like this can do to improve their lives. If you're straight, that's not something you have to deal with.
