College Republicans plan to hold a "straight pride" week

It's funny, but why is it that these "we're not really bigots" events are never held by groups that actually are known not to be bigots. For example, you never see well-adjusted, gay-friendly straight people holding "straight pride" events. It's always Republicans, and it's always people who don't like gays. If the events were unconnected to anti-gay animus then why are there never any people involved who aren't anti-gay? Same thing goes for "white pride" events. If they're not motivated by racism, then why don't any normal non-racist people ever participate - the events are always held by Klansmen and David Duke-types, but we're supposed to believe there's no racial animus involved. Uh huh.

Same goes for groups like the "ex"-gay groups. They don't hate gays, they tell us, but then why is that they never "cure" a gay who actually doesn't have it in for other gay people? I mean, you'd think there be at least one of those "thousands" of "ex"-homosexuals who didn't feel the need to join a big religious right lobbying group to fight to repeal laws protecting gay employees from workplace discrimination. I mean, if you really could "cure" your gayness, wouldn't you think there'd be at least one "cured" "ex"-gay who actually LIKED gay people and even supported some gay rights laws?

Just a thought.

Anyway, Pam has the scoop on the straight pride festivities, along with some choice comments from the freepers.
