Minor disagreement. I’m a straight dude who celebrates gay pride, and that usually comes off as a green flag to women considering sleeping with me

“Straight pride” isn’t a thing. It’s purely a reactionary response to gay pride.
The point of gay pride is for gay people to show that they’re not afraid to be who they are in the face of systematic discrimination. It is specifically countering the culture of gay shame that had been the norm in the past. Straight people are already the overwhelming majority and have never been oppressed for their sexual orientation. There’s was never any shame associated with it so it makes no sense to proclaim that you’re “proud” to be straight.
It’s like someone who finished a marathon expressing their pride for their accomplishment, and some loser who has to make everything about themselves says “well I sat on my ass all day and I deserve to be proud of that too!”
The issue is not that it’s not okay to be proud of being straight, you’re welcome to feel pride all you want. The issue is when you but into someone else’s moment and make it about yourself.
Congratulations, you have uncovered part of the context of the meme. Can you figure out how the given assertion is making fun of “straight pride” fans, without making fun of gay pride enjoyers?
Reading it back I can see how I might have come off as arguing with the OP. I had just intended to add some context in general around why “straight pride” isn’t a generally accepted thing but gay pride is, because whenever this comes up you usually get at least one person asking "what, so we’re supposed to be ashamed of being straight now? That’s just discrimination in reverse!”
It’s always kinda funny to me when someone claims that removing privileges is somehow discrimination Like no dude, it’s pretty much the exact opposite
