In answer to the question "So when is straight pride month?":
12 months a year.
12 months a year where you can go anywhere, knowing any supposed pejorative about your sexuality someone might yell at you, like "breeder", instead comes off as powerless and amusing, rather than the chilling and threatening slurs thrown at lgbqt people which have way too often been preludes to physical violence.
12 months a year where you can readily find images and words honoring, appealing to, and glorifying your sexual orientation in 99% of the media out there.
12 months a year where you can do a public display of affection at nearly any place and the worst you might get is a call to "get a room", rather than invasive stares or threats of violence.
12 months a year where you can live without numerous organizations actively trying to legislate away any equal protections under the law you have, that were gained in recent years.
12 months a year where you are not potentially subjected in 65 nations to criminal penalties for engaging in consensual sex (including 8 nations with the death penalty, and 7 with life imprisonment, as possible punishments).
12 months a year where you are not often slandered as being a pedophile or deviant simply for existing.
12 months a year where no religious group claims you are "evil" or "on the wrong path" simply for being as G-d made you.
12 months a year where you are not put at the end of a list for adopting.
12 months a year where you never find yourself in a situation where you find it is necessary to hide your sexual orientation in order to protect your well being.
That's your "straight pride month."
Happy Pride Month to all my family, friends, neighbors, community and peeps around the globe celebrating it - and lets do what we can to change the above so that ALL people regardless of their sexual orientations can live in a world where they are free from violence and bigotry.
