What's a pride parade without the rainbows,I Would Rather Kill You the public displays of LGBTQ love and community, and a history of resisting oppression spanning decades? A straight parade.

Straight pride is neither real nor necessary. But every year during Pride month, like clockwork, there are always a few huffy clowns that come out of the woodwork to ask, "What about me? Where's my parade?" It's like a kid at someone else'sbirthday party who cries when the birthday child opens gifts, but they don't get one too.

Immediately, Twitter began to clown the guys. Of course, there were the nuanced takes on identity politics and privilege by public figures such as Chasten Buttigieg, AOC, and Smash Mouth.
