The KCRA ChannelEDMOND, Okla. -- A University of Central Oklahoma student group is planning what it calls "Straight Pride Week" on campus.
Members of the College Republicans said despite objections from some, they have every right to celebrate.
"The general gist is that if you are a straight student on campus be proud, be loud, this is your time to shine," said college Republican Kyle Houts.
The group has posted fliers on campus that read, "we're here, we're conservative, we're out."

What's next for these clowns? White Pride week?
This years planned gathering for whi...I mean 'straight pride week' will include such meaningfull, introspective activities as,
Keg Stands
Power puking into a paper bag!
and of course,
The gratuitous wet T-Shirt contest (whites only obviously)
Hey I really dont see anything wrong with the idea itself, and I am very liberal. If they want to be straight and proud and let everyone know it, why not, there are gay pride weeks. As long as it doesnt degenerate into violence or hate-mongering (which it may) then there is nothing wrong with that. Its just like BET, if someone tried a WET then it would be flamed, but why?
Straight pride week on a college campus? Probably not being sponsored by any fraternity.If they want to be straight and proud and let everyone know it, why not, there are gay pride weeks.

They are just doing this to be intolerant towards gays.
I think they're doing it because they're allowed free speech like everyone else, and are proud of their sexual heritage.
Nowadays we live in a ed up world where the more liberal, leftist folks really have freedom of speech, while those with conservative values or traditional values are persecuted for being "intolerant."
That's a large part of my problem with assholes like Dan. It's only free speech if wads like you are saying/doing what you want.
If you're conservative, or if you believe in God, or if you're white, or if you're straight, and acknowledge that fact, you're "persecuting others."
You want to talk about freedom of speech and being politically correct? Take a look in the mirror.
These kids aren't doing it out of intolerance for gay people, they're doing it because they're proud to be straight.
And it doesn't surprise me at all that your dumb ass doesn't get it.
Nothing like hitting some strange to prove your manhood.
seems silly .. but it's their time. if they wish to spend their time doing this, that's fine.
i don't think it's phobic .. asinine is a better word.
I think all pride weeks are silly, who cares? Dan, you're a turnd. You should have " head pride" week.
dcole,
So what do you think of all the other stuff? Gay Pride Week, etc.?
Let this be clear: this is not about being proud to be straight. I have the same response to those who advocate white pride week: every week is white pride week. You turn on the TV, and on the most popular shows, you see primarily white people in the leading roles. Watch the ads. Again, primarily white people. White people should have NO problem with their image within our culture. It's everywhere.
It's the same with straight people. You had Eye, Ellen, and Will and Grace as representatives on network TV showing a glimpse of the gay culture. That's it. Every other show that has ever been on network TV is straight oriented, with maybe an occasional ambigous character. Every week is straight pride week.
That being said, if these idiots want to show their immaturity and pettiness, I'm all for it. It would be funny if no one showed up.
Gimme a break on network TV. , on MTV on the Real World and all their other , they have a token straight guy, the rest are gay.
It shouldn't be about pride or stereotypes or anything else, it shouldn't matter. All that just contributes to the further decay of our society.
Yeah, and we all know how real reality TV is., on MTV on the Real World and all their other , they have a token straight guy, the rest are gay.
it's all meaningless and a waste of time, in my opinion. if someone wants to hold a straight or gay pride week, then fine. it just seems pointless to me.
the gay pride week makes slightly more sense, because it's goal ... i assume ... is to promote tolerence.
Well as long as you're consistent, I'm cool with that. I think it's all re ed. There should only be one week here in America: American Pride Week.
I'm kinda with Dcole on this...I think it's stupid but if I have learned to live with s massing together shouting "we're , we're here, get used to it"...I can live with this as well.
I personally wish everyone would mind their own ing business and not protest about stupid stuff that actually hurts the cause of legitimate protesting.
And I wish DeGeneres would shut the up about being a lesbian...no one gives a and she has ruined what was actually a pretty decent comedic career with her militant carpet munching.
I've never noticed them trying to promote tolerance...I've noticed them acting like a bunch of obnoxious queens with a "nanny nanny boo boo you can't stop us" at ude.
They aren't promoting tolerance with that crap...they're being a bunch of s.
And I think they do more harm to their cause than good with that BS.
You know what the gays could do to impress me?
Get together and have a pro military rally in support of our country, let it be known that they are gay, but not make the focus being them acting like a bunch of preening self absorbed sissies. Let the focus be that they support our country and the men that give them a right to be a bunch of hedonistic swallowers...that would impress me.

I'm getting the impression that if this was the 1950s...whottt would be saying the same thing about black people.
I'm getting the impression that Duff missed his point completely.
No I wouldn't...Blacks were discriminated against and were second class citizens, Blacks were fighting for the right to be people.
Gays stand for sucking s and taking it up the ass, a sexual lifestyle.
No equating the two in my book.
And I'm not challenging gays rights to be gays or to protest, they should have the same rights as every one else...but do you see straignt people massing and chortling about their sexual preference?
No...which is why the parade discussed in this thread is such a big deal.
I'm just saying they don't seem to stand for much as a group other than guzzling . Big ing deal...If they want to suck s then do so...but why do they need to drag out a preference for into the public arena? What exactly are they hoping to accomplish? To reafirm the sterotype that they are just a bunch of dudes whose whole existence is governed by sex?
There's nothing noble about that.
And hey...you need to talk to some blacks about their stance on gays sometime. You might be surprised.

So, whottt, you see a difference between "accidents of birth" and "personal choice" after all. Good for you.
To normalize an abnormal lifestyle. That's their ultimate goal.
They are following the "protest model" of the LEGITIMATE civil rights and equal rights movements that preceeded them with the hope (and, with much success, I hasten to add) of gaining public sympathy.
Once, sexuality is no longer considered abnormal human behavior (and they've succeeded through politics rather than science to convince the APA [American Psychological Association] of this) then they're en led to the holy grail of this country, protected class and "equal protection," (actually translated, in this case, to preferential treatment) under the law.
You're already seeing a push for insuring "partners" and "cohabitators" (do you see where this is all related to our other thread discussion yet?). Now, they're challenging the state through same-sex marriage nonsense.
Pedophiles are already seeing the promise of this approach to normalizing the adult/adolescent and eventually, adult/child sexual relationship.
It won't be long when we'll be receiving invitations to weddings between our Uncle Fred and his favorite mare.
It's all slippery slope stuff.

I wouldn't fire a guy for being gay or deny him the right to employment...not the same thing. I just think it's stupid when they gather and act like a bunch of obnoxious s.
And that's my right to think that.
First, I edited my last post with more content, you may or may not want to look.
Second, if your business relied on your employees not acting like obnoxious s or engaging in promiscuous sexual behaviors that could result in your insurance forking out expensive treatments for A.I.D.S. or Hep C or other such nonsense...then would you fire him?
And, I'd still like to know where you get this "right to employment" nonsense. If we had a right to employment, unemployment would be 0%.
In the place of work I'd expect them to act like a proffesional. If they walked around the office chanting, I'm , I'm here, get used to it...I'd tell him to stop it or I'll fire him.
If he was in a position of authority and harrassing another employee I'd fire his ass but I'd fire anyone that did that...
And no, I wouldn't deny the guy employment because he might be at risk to get aids or hep c. Those diseases aren't limited to gays.
But what if his behavior, outside the workplace, caused you to lose business? What if his behavior outside the workplace cost your insurance company millions in health care costs?
I get the impression you believe our personal behaviors and lifestyles, outside the workplace, have no effect on the stature, reputation, or well-being of the employer.
I believe you couldn't be more wrong.
Then you'd be a stupid employer. Gays and Intravenous drug users, their spouses, and partners are thousands of times more likely to contract A.I.D.S. or Hep C than the general population. And, if the truth were told, the poor souls, in the general population, who contract these diseases probably did so due to the irresponsible or reckless lifestyle, behavior, or selfish choices of a sexual or drug user.
Just to be clear, I'd fire a drug user too.
Normal people don't gather in public and chant obnoxious slogans about their sexual preference.
If they want to normalize their lifestyle in my eyes(which is really unnecessary)...then show me something that proves they are normal, that they have diverse beliefs.
I see some s getting the US military's back(pun not intended) and I am going to come to the conclusion that those are some good s.
It's a shame really...I know there are gays in the US military...and I actually knew a guy once who was gay who could probably beat anyone's ass...
They are following the "protest model" of the LEGITIMATE civil rights and equal rights movements that preceeded them with the hope (and, with much success, I hasten to add) of gaining public sympathy.
Right, and that's unnecessary IMO.
Once, sexuality is no longer considered abnormal human behavior (and they've succeeded through politics rather than science to convince the APA [American Psychological Association] of this) then they're en led to the holy grail of this country, protected class and "equal protection," (actually translated, in this case, to preferential treatment) under the law.
You see that's fine with me...I don't deny them their equal rights. But I think going around chanting gay slogans and being concerned with little else hurts their philosophical goal.
That's okay with me...we haven't worked all the details out on that yet but it's really not that big of a deal to me.You're already seeing a push for insuring "partners" and "cohabitators" (do you see where this is all related to our other thread discussion yet?). Now, they're challenging the state through same-sex marriage nonsense.
I can see their right to have a beneficiary etc.
Pedophiles are already seeing the promise of this approach to normalizing the adult/adolescent and eventually, adult/child sexual relationship.
And this will clearly be wrong...but I know there are elements that do try and abuse it...
I don't equate gays with pedophiles though anymore than I equate the civil rights movement with gay parades.
It's pretty black and white to me....
It's all slippery slope stuff.
I mean it's easy to see the difference between Pedophillia and sexuality....but I don't disagree that there are those that think they are cousins.
