The Straight Pride Parade

[Yukaphile]

Yes indeed.

How is being proud to be Irish significant? That's accident of birth. Unless you changed your citizenship. Then that would be more logical.

That's the point, Yukaphile. The regressives say they object to a straight pride parade because straight people don't need one. They don't object to a St. Patrick's Day parade or the Doo Dah Parade or any number of other parades that people also don't need.

So it sounds to me that "straights don't need a parade" is not the real reason for the objections.

@clearspira You've obviously never met the anti-SJW right of center crowd.

The word sjw is used in the same way the left uses the word Nazi, it has lost all meaning.
I try to not use it anymore. I do fail as sometimes you do hear someone in which no other descriptor applies. And I guess that applies the other way too.

[Yukaphile]

Well, I tend to think a pride parade only makes sense in that gays were ostracized for so long, and to overcome their inherent challenges. Past that, there's nothing more logical than being proud for being straight or gay, imo.

[Yukaphile]

Pride parades were the gateway to acceptance, see.

They get it.

Yeah Yeah I know they're arguing in bad faith but I had to try ya know?

I'm no stranger to being trolled especially on here but I dunno. I feel like I gotta try at least once. Call it trying desperately to see the good in people.

So we are arguing in bad faith and are bad people, because we point out a logically flawed arguement. If that is your definition of trolling, then I sure am glad to be a troll, because at night, it's colder than outside.

Sexual orientation is also an accident of birth

Actually this has become known to be a bit misleading, scientifically speaking.

Okay, so there was an article I read a few years back that talked about a study that pointed towards homosexuality not being a neurological part of the brain, specifically one that you're born with. That or probably of course no evidence pointing towards. I might be able to find it for speculation, just that I'm not really sure what to search for. I do remember them musing that Lady Gaga's Born This Way isn't technically accurate.

While the prevalence of such a condition would probably help in favor of civil rights issues (or worsen them in some considerations), I don't think it very much weighs on the ethics of things, which the article also pointed out.

Do regressives protest St. Patrick's Day parades because the Irish don't need a parade?

That's actually a very bad example because the Irish had to face decades of persecution to receive mainstream acceptance in America.
