I have been hearing about pride day and pride parades. And I've always wondered why I can't be proud of the fact I am a heterosexual. Someone posted an article about the Prime Minister of Canada marching with a pride parade. Their article was about how wonderful it is to be accepting of people no matter what.
I must've been bored that day because I posted the question "Can I be proud to be a heterosexual male?" I was in no way prepared for the response I got. It stated that no, I could not be proud because pride was for LGBT because they've been bullied for so long. I pointed out that I was bullied all through junior high and most of I school because I was small.
The responses were so harsh I was stunned. LGBT are not accepting of me. All I saw was a hatred of me. When I questioned why they weren't accepting of me I got an even harsher response.
I guess I'm a little naïve but I was stunned by the answers and ended up just deleting my post on that Facebook post. I guess I no longer feel accepted by LGBT's in any way shape or form. I guess they're the only ones who are allowed to be bullied and have and have it count.
And from now on I will not be looking for acceptance by them and I also will not be accepting of them. One would seem to go with the other and since I am in a hated group I guess I will not be tolerant anymore. Thank you LGBT community for making this clear to me..
