Last week, a group of men said they were planning a “Straight Pride Parade” in order to “celebrate the diverse history, culture, and contributions of the straight community.”

*record scratch*

*freeze frame*

Say what?

The vice president of the group “Super Happy Fun America,” Mark Sahady, said the group was planning their parade for Aug. 31, and even provided a route. (Boston officials have since said they have not issued a permit for the group to do so.)

“If you would like to come as an individual, march as a group, or bring a float or vehicle, then get in touch. This is our chance to have a patriotic parade in Boston as we celebrate straight pride,” said Sahady.

Needless to say, Twitter was NOT having it. Here are 21 of the funniest tweets we found about the so-called Straight Pride Parade:

It has about as much chance of happening as the word “fetch.”

In part, because parades aren’t exactly straight.

And WHAT do straight people need a parade for anyway?

Here’s a peek at what it would look like:

Maybe they already exist…

And they have more in common besides being straight.

And the fact that they want to have FLOATS is comical in itself.

But again, why do people think this is needed?

I mean, really.

And don’t forget that if there’s a parade, there will be protestors.

Here’s the REAL reason for it:

It’s embarrassing for everyone.

And maybe it’s the same group of white guys with pitchforks and tiki torches.

But the best joke is the fact that we’re having this discussion at all.

Gay Pride is about celebrating their right to live without persecution. It’s about the fact that gay rights are human rights. It’s celebrated in the month of June because it marks the anniversary of the Stonewall Riots in 1969, which are largely considered a “galvanizing force for LGBT political activism.”

So maybe instead of people whining about starting a Straight Pride Parade (Or “White History Month” for that matter), they should just be happy that they haven’t ever needed one because they’ve never been oppressed or rejected because of their sexual orientation.
