Chris Evanshas no time for three men hoping to start a “Straight Pride Parade” in his hometown of Boston.
Evans, who was born in the Massachusetts capital, responded to a tweet from theWashington Post‘s coverage of the men’s initiative on Wednesday with a sarcastic proposal.
“Wow, the number gay/straight pride parade false equivalencies are disappointing. For those who don’t understand the difference, see below. Instead of going immediately to anger(which is actually just fear of what you don’t understand)take a moment to search for empathy and growth,”Evans wrote.
“There’s nothing I’ve ever had to fight for, or struggle against, because I’m straight,” Bell wrote in the post Evans urged his followers to read. “And therefore, there isn’t any reason to take pride in it. Grateful for the privileges I get? Sure. But pride? I don’t see it. What I do see is that this parade is misnamed. It’s not a ‘Straight Pride Parade.’ I should be called a ‘I’m a homophobic piece of s—‘ parade.”

“For them everything is based upon identity and whether or not one is categorized as a victim or an oppressor,” Sahady wrote on Facebook, according to thePost. “If you get victim status then you are entitled to celebrate yourself and expect those with oppressor status to defer to your feelings.”
