Twitter Hilariously Responds to Tone-Deaf Calls for Heterosexual Pride Day

Today is Heterosexual Pride Day! A day when straight people can take to the streets of their city and proudly declare their love for each other without feeling shame. But wait, isn’t that everyday?

One year ago today, a Twitter user decided it was a fun idea to create the idea of Heterosexual Pride Day.

The hashtag went viral. Some sincerely vocalized their support for the concept:

Why are people upset about #HeterosexualPrideDay ? So I’m not allowed to be proud of who I am but you are? Selfish much?

While others hilariously responded that that the idea is quite tone deaf.

Today was no different.

Here are 13 tweets that drag Heterosexual Pride Day:

Thoughts and prayers to all the straight folks struggling with coming out of the closet. Your bravery is stunning.#HeterosexualPrideDay

#HeterosexualPrideDay I don’t care what you straights do in the privacy of your own home, but do you always have to shove it in our faces?
