Not too many months ago you were talking about how having white pride and male pride and so on would be good because it would let people identify those traits as existing independently of "normal".<br /><br />Which is it? That someone can wear a shirt identifying an aspect of themselves, or that the people who are part of the assumed majority shouldn't point it out?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-60219567689098235932009-11-26T02:25:37.382-05:002009-11-26T02:25:37.382-05:00I don't identify myself with my race or my sex...I don't identify myself with my race or my sexuality (I identify as a Geek, mostly), so being 'proud' of either isn't something I would ever extol on a T-shirt. But, to be honest, as a straight white guy, it IS sort of annoying that if I DID identify with being white or straight, I'm not supposed to be proud of it. If I'm wearing a Straight Pride shirt, standing next to a guy wearing a Gay Pride shirt, I'm a bigot and he's not?<br /><br />I mean, you're probably RIGHT about the girl's parents. With out talking to them, I draw the same conclusions. Straight folk who aren't homophobic don't wear that kind of shirt. But still, it annoys me that being proud of being straight equates to not liking gays.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2770580070906411828.post-52254941034952846072009-10-20T11:43:04.308-04:002009-10-20T11:43:04.308-04:00I used to have the companion shirt "Sorry boy...I used to have the companion shirt "Sorry boys, I eat pussy". Both are playful and can hardly be said to be a condemnation of one or another orientation.
