In an era of inclusively, is it time for the Pride parade to ALSO celebrate heterosexuality?

In its 50 year run, the Pride parade has been a way to highlight the struggles, improve self-esteem, and celebrate the growing equality of gays and lesbians (with trans people rights still being negotiated). Now that all people share equality the benefits and challenges of marriage, the parade seems to have evolved into a way for corporations to virtue signal and for people to celebrate the joys of sexuality in all its varied manifestations - except heterosexuality.

The LGBTx struggle has been hard fought with claims of homophobia on one side and claims of violating God's law on the other. However, once the Marriage Equality Act of 2015 was passed and the "Gay Marriage Armageddon" did not transpire, it is surprising to see how little residual resentment from the resistance remains. Is there room in the Pride parade to acknowledge straight people for this or would this be a slap on the face?

We already have loads of parades that celebrate all people. There are 4th of July, Homecoming, Canada Day, Sports, and Rodeo parades to name a few. We don't need more parades. We just need people to start becoming the best humans they can be and let the rest sort itself out.
We need to stop the "us against them" and "we want equal rights but treat us special" crap. We need open, honest dialog with open minds and a willingness to listen. Even if the end result is we disagree, we can agree to that and still be civil.

"Now that all people share equality the benefits and challenges of marriage" - I don't necessarily agree with this. Sure, it is now legal to marry in the US as a same-sex couple, but look at all of the cases of same-sex couples being denied services - you never see this happening for adulterers or divorcees, so clearly there is still a large case of discrimination against homosexual people. There is no federal law protecting homosexuals or trans individuals from being fired or denied housing just for their orientation / identity, and 17 states provide no civil protection.

We still have a long way to go before the GSRM (gender/sexual/romantic minority) community is given equal opportunities and protection. Look at what Trump is currently doing, kicking trans people out of the military, and allowing them to be turned away from basic medical services; yes, under Trump's administration, a trans person can be denied a flu shot because the doctor doesn't want to touch a trans person.

As long as GSRM communities are still considered second class citizens, there is no need for "Straight Pride". Pride is about years and years of discrimination and adversity, and fighting to gain rights, and not letting others take away your identity. There is no need for a celebration of being straight, as there was never any time in which you were systematically disadvantaged due to it.

How about we stop making kids (and everyone else) see street orgies. What purple want to do in homes with drawn curtains is up to them. What people want to do in the street is up to everyone.

Openly celebrating and disclosing your sexual preference onto others should be considered to be sexual harassment. I have seen this a few times: You can't fire me because I am a buttigieg. You can't reprimand me because I am a buttigieg. I see posters saying: imagine being fired because of who you love. Suggesting that you cannot fire or discipline someone who is gay because it could be considered a hate crime or at least discrimination.

Our pride should be knowing we can have children and they will die surrounded by their dogs or cats.

One of the head honchos of the gay advocates said that he was taken aback and felt disgraced that the gays had to use marriage to be accepted as that is not the main lifestyle by far for them. They never want you to hear this but it's the dark web...right?
