Idaho bar celebrates “Heterosexual Awesomeness Month” with free beer for straight men
Yeah because as a group, us straight people are REALLY underrepresented! 🙄
There might be a lot of unhealthy representation of the worst straight people, but by pure amount there’s MUCH more healthy representation of straight people than everyone else because there’s just so many times more of ALL kinds of representation!
And are extremely privileged.
What’s up with the millennial erasure? If anything, our ratio of allies to bigots is better than that of Gen X
Because we don’t need any hetero activism. We’re already extremely privileged compared to everyone else. The ones that think hetero activism is necessary are mostly homophobes with a victim complex who think that “the gays are taking over” or some such bullshit.
Again, just watch the vast majority of depictions of relationships. The representation is not just there, it’s overabundant to the point of exclusion and othering of LGBTQ+ people. That’s the norm.
Bullshit. There’s tons of representation of every type of hetero relationship in the world. It’s not all either married people with 2.4 children and a golden retriever or LGBTQ+ people.
All of which is receiving much more representation than LGBTQ+ people are, without bigoted LGBTQ+ people complaining every time.
Again, it is. Constantly. It’s effectively Straight Pride month 11 months of the year everywhere. Us straight people are NOT being deprived.
I’m talking exactly about increasing the share of healthy hetero representation - as opposed to unhealthy hetero representation and not to LGBTQ+ representation.
Again, this is not a competition, and I do not mean to eat out anything from the LGBTQ+ representation. Supporting one doesn’t mean not supporting the other.
It might be the time to make the world better for everyone - while still aware that some people have it worse.
