Straight Pride Parade: Marching for the "Oppressed Majority"

On August 31st 2019, Boston reluctantly hosted its first Straight Pride parade. The parade’s organizers aimed to raise awareness about the issues impacting America’s heterosexual community -- the “oppressed majority.” While some view the parade as a joke, others see the Straight Pride movement as a significant threat against the LGBTQ+ community.

"Is it obviously a joke?" She asks the dude dressed up like a shark.

This parade changed my life. I thought everyone was gay and trans. I found straight people like me. It was my great awakening. I came out and I’m loud and straight

“Is it obviously a joke?”

[@lonewolfx499]

I am officially coming out of the closet to say that I am straight. This is who I was meant to be. Now, more than ever, we can celebrate straightness together as the underappreciated group we are.

I just came here to watch the whole scene with the guy in the shark suit

“Next year, in America, there’s gonna be a hundred straight pride parades”

I love how the lgbt people are yelling f*ck you and flipping them off seems a bit odd seeing as that didn’t happen at the pride one

[@mishas8764]

What a glorious day to be straight and Christian!

"Is it a joke?"

[@jp36477]

i love how 75% of people are joking and the 25% are genuinely doing it

[@justinstevenson3835]

Notice how everyone at straight pride has their pants on.

[@Alex-ut8gd]

Notice how they are all wearing clothes.

“Straight Lives Matter. Gay Lives Matter. Black Lives Matter. All Lives Matter. Everyone’s life matters. Except for socialists.” -shark man

Straight parade? This isnt hell

[@Lincomics]

asking a grown man in a shark costume wether he's joking is crazy

"I think we're slowley becoming the minority, like, there might me more of us but--"

[@stache297]

One thing I definitely noticed about straight pride parades was that no children were involved

[@CenturyStopMotions]

I wish there were more of these parades.
