I appreciate that, it did help me understand a bit better. I’m really sorry people have to go through what they go through to be accepted. I was tight everyone is equal, I do wish they had a straight ally flag, it would seem to be a bit more fitting.

straight pride? next they'll be wanting marriage and basic rights. it's just a phase, anyway.

(obviously sarcastic. if this offends you please, please block me.)

And yeah, there have been exactly zero hateful responses directed towards straight people so I don't know what you're on about.

"Straight pride" is 100% unnecessary because pride isn't about showing off and advertising your sexuality. It's not like you're picking a team to root for. Pride is about the visibility of marginalized identities. LGBT+ people have been -- and still are -- oppressed in most areas of the world. In some countries we're murdered. In others we're denied rights. Even in progressive countries we're treated as "others." That's why pride is important because cishet people tend to see our sexual and gender identities as "different" and inherently sexual but cishets are seen as "normal", "default" and more about love than sex.

Pride started as a direct response to violence against the LGBT+ community.

Straight pride is unnecessary because straight pride is EVERYWHERE. Straight love and sex are EVERYWHERE in the media. Cishet people do not risk violence for being cishet. Cishet people are not denied rights for being cishet. Cishet people are not subjected to violence in forced conversion attempts.

There is no valid reason for a "straight pride" flag. You either do not understand what pride is about (which is why I'm attempting to educate you) or you know full well what it's about and you want to make things about you when everything is already all about you. Sometimes it's difficult to tell when someone's comment comes from ignorance or bigotry. I hope yours is the former and that you LISTEN to what people are telling you.

Nobody's hating on straight people. They're hating on the people crying out for a "straight pride" flag because the very idea of that misses the entire point of the pride movement: Pride originally began as a protest, back when being any sexuality other than "the norm" meant being at risk of hatred, violence, police brutality and literal oppression. Homosexuality and other "deviant" orientations have been (and still are in some places) literally illegal or classed as psychological disorders. People have been disowned by their families, fired from their jobs, attacked, sexually abused and even killed simply because they aren't hetrosexual and/or cisgendered.

Straights don't need a straight pride flag because straight people have never had to march through the streets in defiance of the literal law just to proclaim who they are. You can't be fired for your job for being straight, nobody is beaten up or killed or disowned or called names for being straight. Straight, cis people are not oppressed, ergo they don't get "included" in a movement that is in large part about flying in the face of oppression.

Hope this helps you understand.

While I am definitely curious as to what some of the now deleted comments said, I am also glad that the mods have been keeping a close eye on this news post and not tolerating any hate or bullshit. It's always good to see so much pride stuff! And it's always good to know what usernames to add to my block list. There's a lot of stuff on this site I'm willing to deal with - bigotry and homophobia aren't on that list.

Thanks to staff! Both for the items and for the diligence in keeping this news post nice and clean.

Not sure why so much hate for straight people, isn’t all love equal, no matter how stupid it may seem. Seems contradicting. What if I’m a straight ally? We’ve received hate as well for being allies just because we don’t agree to the standard biased opinions of closed minded people. I’ll happily display my straight flag and I don’t care what anyone thinks.

July 20, 2019, 12:20 am by

Amazing that I've added more people today to my block list than there were on it in the first place. Straight pride is nonsense and if you think you're oppressed because you don't get a straight pride parade you need to read some history.

On a lighter note, this is probably my final time offering to pay for people to get flags they need cause it's starting to feel like spam, but seriously feel FREE to ask me to get you some flags!

Anyway Happy Gay Wrath Month! (have we decided which one next month is? Cause I like the idea of sloth for august, it's just too hot to do much else)

July 20, 2019, 12:14 am by

I'll accept a straight pride flag as soon as conversion therapy clinics to "cure" straight people start popping up.

July 20, 2019, 12:03 am by

I'm so glad the pink and orange flag has gained so much traction. I was really mad when I learned the most popular lesbian flag was just gradients of pink, one because it's super boring and two because it felt incredibly restrictive. (And that's not even addressing the person who designed it.) The pink and orange variation is immensely better.

Now I just need to re-build my quest point bank. I literally just spent all my points a couple of days ago. Ain't that always the way?

SCREAMS LESBIAN PRIDE FLAG I NEED IT IMMEDIATELY hastily gathers up her quest points and rushes over to Quentin's shop, tripping over her own feet and stumbling in the process

July 19, 2019, 11:46 pm by

I am LIVING right now! THANK YOU FOR THIS!~

July 19, 2019, 11:46 pm by

It always makes me happy to see the ace flag included. Time to spend some quest points! <3

July 19, 2019, 11:33 pm by

lack of edit or delete is really biting me in the ass...

Straight pride can exist when your orientation is constantly questioned by your doctors. it can exist when one of your own is murdered and all the discussion is about how people like you don't exist.

July 19, 2019, 11:31 pm by

Yesssss more pride items! Would dig a bear pride flag, too, but I know we can't have everything!

July 19, 2019, 11:29 pm by

you can have straight pride when you don't have to constantly fight your medical providers/system over your orientation, like I do

July 19, 2019, 11:24 pm by

These look great and will be so much easier to work into an HA than the sashes. Thank you!

July 19, 2019, 11:15 pm by

OMG! Straight Pride Flag lol I didn't know that was a thing.

July 19, 2019, 11:06 pm by

Makes me happy to see these lovely flags. Full support! <3

Don't forget Toyota Truck Month!

MFW seeing the "straight pride" comments again

July 19, 2019, 10:48 pm by

imagine asking where the straight pride flag is at

July 19, 2019, 10:46 pm by

I am honestly surprised it took this long for the "but what about straight pride" comments to happen.

July 19, 2019, 10:42 pm by

Really happy to see the genderqueer pride flag here!

July 19, 2019, 10:41 pm by

OMGOSH a bi flag - I love !

July 19, 2019, 10:37 pm by

It's like they don't even realize that the creator of this site is an openly gay man so obviously would make his site inclusive

July 19, 2019, 10:31 pm by

PMSL I was going to say tongue in cheek that I'm feeling a bit left out being straight but will that start another war of words 😜

July 19, 2019, 10:27 pm by

"Favoritism is not equality"? Please, tell me how heterosexual couples weren't Hollywood's favorites for countless years. Tell me how most religions/cultures [/i]don't[/i] favor heterosexuality to the point that anything outside the norm is considered disgusting and in many places it's punished in some way, including being beaten to death.

We don't need a straight pride flag. Straight people never suffered because they were straight. We suffered because we're not straight - because for so long, we were not the favorites.

July 19, 2019, 10:26 pm by

Also shirts that are full striped like the flag colors/flag striped shirts? Would be cool <3 Off to buy bi

July 19, 2019, 10:26 pm by

you believe there's a such thing as "straight pride"...AND your outfit is all from a single subeautique line?

wow, you must be a lot of fun at parties.

July 19, 2019, 10:25 pm by

Hmmm equality is my favorite quality <3

July 19, 2019, 10:23 pm by

love these! thank you staff :D seconding that these flags for the other hand would be really useful. (and maybe some big hanging versions for the background layer?)

July 19, 2019, 10:22 pm by

"Straight Pride" is every month, the same way "White History Month" is every month. Straight people aren't a downtrodden minority that have had to fight for their rights. Don't even start.

July 19, 2019, 10:20 pm by

upside to pride drama is now I know who to never interact with before I ever even have to ♪

that said, CUTE FLAGS!!! I LOVE ;-; +1 on the idea of them being on the other side too!

and... pride blob kitties... p l e a s e,,, I will sell you my kidney for an immensely adorable set of cute pride blob kitties.

July 19, 2019, 10:15 pm by

No straight pride? Really disappointing that was left out. Favoritism is not equality. :(

July 19, 2019, 9:58 pm by

I am so in love with all the LGBTQA+ stuff being done on site!! First sashes, now flags - I can't wait for whatever comes next! Keep up the awesome work staff <3

July 19, 2019, 9:51 pm by

Those are very beautiful <3, I always had a hard time finding a human avatar that works out with the sash!

July 19, 2019, 9:49 pm by

Ahhhh seeing the Genderfluid one makes me happy! :D

July 19, 2019, 9:43 pm by

this looks amazing and all but can we have stickers to match up with all them flags (and also for the ones that aren't here) please!!!!

July 19, 2019, 9:36 pm by

subeta is important to me, as a fun virtual pet site where i can be openly trans among many other trans users. cant wait to pick up some of these flags! dunno why bigots are always surprised when they realize that subeta says lgbt rights

July 19, 2019, 9:32 pm by

Pride peacocks! :o

July 19, 2019, 9:28 pm by

Thank you staff for continually keeping this a safe space for us LGBTQ+ folk ^-^ I support the idea of these being transformable between hands, and giant ones too! c:

July 19, 2019, 9:27 pm by

happy to see the beautiful flags! someone below said minions would be cute if color coded as the flags and i agree! maybe a cute buggie with colored wings?

July 19, 2019, 9:24 pm by

Well, considering there are many other countries in the world that have their Prides outside of June, the addition of these flags isn't late. June isn't Pride Month for everyone.

July 19, 2019, 9:17 pm by

As a proud gay man I love the fact that this site is so inclusive and supportive! I fully support this site and wish it the greatest success!

July 19, 2019, 9:15 pm by

Love the flags and the representation of all the different types of love and people, but I wanna see more pride based minions to go with it!!! I still have the Pride lion one from WAAAAAY back and hope to see more!!!
