Sorry if this is a dead Convo, but I wanted to have a say in it if i can



As a Lesbian Woman myself, I feel like I can safely say that a lot of LGBQT people have been made fun of/bullied for their feelings, and a lot of people take it to heart when there's people who want to be a part of it, when they themselves haven't experienced the trauma and abuse a lot of LGBQT people go through.

Being straight isn't a bad thing, and yes, everyone should love themselves and be proud of their titles, but Pride Month is about the History of LGBQT people as well.



It's kind of like saying 'Why is there no White History month" It's because every other Month is white history month, because, at least in america, it's seen as the Norm

A lot of LGBQT people would probably agree that Straight people don't get hate on for being straight. You haven't been stared at and called names for loving someone, you haven't been ignored or thrown out of homes for existing, you haven't been purely judged on how you feel about yourself.



"Heterosexual Pride" is Wanting to feel special, and a part of Pride, but not experiencing what brings LGBQT people together. Our experiences.

You haven't been told that your feelings don't exist. You haven't been told that your existence is wrong. You haven't been told that what you see in the mirror is wrong. You haven't been told that loving someone just because they were born one way is wrong.

I understand wanting to be a part of Pride, but it's getting the prize without playing the game, the other players are going to be upset.



I'm Demi/Asexual, and I've been told I don't exist because "all humans are sexual by nature". I've literally been told my feelings are Lies because I "can't possibly be a person who isn't sexually attracted to people".

I'm also a lesbian, and nearly 1/2 of my family doesn't want to talk to me anymore. I was outed in on of my classes at school, and all of a sudden I'm being stared at, mocked, and even shamed by my classmates for having a girlfriend.

I got called "the fatass trans kid" because a straight kid didn't know I was a lesbian, and assumed i was into girls because "everyone is straight, so only gays are always trans"

When i got changed for Gym the girls in the locker rooms would always move to the other side of the room and avoid me, because they thought i was a creep for merely being there.

I was constantly asked about my sexual life, even at 11-13 because I was one of the only gay kids in my year. I was asked things I didn't even want to know myself, and suddenly my private information was leaked, and now everyone knew, and I was made fun of for it.



I know straight people can have similar problems, but I doubt that you've been asked about sex positions and bdsm topics when you are in 6th grade. I doubt you've been told by adults that you make no sense. I doubt you've been told that gods from a religion you don't believe in is going to send you to hell for breathing.



These experiences are shared by LGBQT people, and because Straight people never even see half of it, that's what makes us upset.

It's crashing a Kid's Birthday party and eating their Cake. When their birthday is over, you can have your slice, and your slice is 11/12th of the Year. Please just let us have our cake

We accept supporting Straight people, in fact my mother and father are both straight, and I appreciate their support, but they aren't going to weasle their way in to feel special.



Heterosexuals get to be special every other time of the year. Please, just let us have our month and our cake, it's all we have really.



I hope that helps you understand a bit. Everyone has it differently, but it's how at least I feel.
