I'm usually pretty dismissive of events like "straight pride" - which was created as a sort of soft pithy protest to Pride Pride - because, IDK, stupid people gonna do stupid shit. But this isn't the best mentality for progress and certainly isn't the mentality adopted by the hordes of gays and gay allies speaking out against the absurdity of "straight pride" - which is set to take place in Boston, and according to CNN supposedly will exclusively include men. Just straight men. Marching in a parade. Not gay lol rite?

A-listers such as Chris Evans have been speaking out against the event:

Wow, the number gay/straight pride parade false equivalencies are disappointing. For those who don’t understand the difference, see below. Instead of going immediately to anger(which is actually just fear of what you don’t understand)take a moment to search for empathy and growth https://t.co/e98K0Z150T

But no progressive's sentiment has resonated as much with the Twitter masses as Eva Victor's. Her video is super funny and does a good job of highlighting the hypocrisy of "straight pride." Here it is!

And just a note to the 9.5 "straight pride" attendees - when 9.5 men march in a parade together, it's gay boo. And just another note - here are some more "straight pride" reactions because they're pretty damn funny!

To those of you celebrating straight pride, remember your flag colors and what they mean! pic.twitter.com/QJ99xTTZDB
