Vanilla Pride
by Lee

God I love hearing about stuff like this.

A University of Central Oklahoma student group is planning what it calls “Straight Pride Week” on campus.

Members of the College Republicans said despite objections from some, they have every right to celebrate.

“The general gist is that if you are a straight student on campus be proud, be loud, this is your time to shine,” said college Republican Kyle Houts.

The group has posted fliers on campus that read, “we’re here, we’re conservative, we’re out.”

Members of the Gay Alliance for Tolerance and Equality say they consider the College Republican’s celebration an attack on gay and lesbian students.

“What is there to say about it, ‘I’m proud, and I’m straight and I guess white,’ I don’t know?” said GATE member Jennifer Rodriguez. “I think they definitely are being discriminatory because there’s probably a lot of gay Republicans out there.”

Notice how the Hispanic dike had to throw the racist angle in there as well.  Look, if it wasn’t for the left making such a huge deal out of identity politics then the Republicans wouldn’t have to do stunts like this to make fun of it.  Thge flip side of this is the Darwin fish that people have on their cars, which were a direct response to mock the Jesus fish that so many others had on theirs.  When one group makes an identity statement, the other mocks it and ridicules it, and these students have every right to point out how dumb Gay Pride is by showing their Straight Pride.
