“When’s Straight Pride?”

Ah yes, the annual cry of the emotionally neglected: “But when is Straight Pride Month?”

Here’s the thing.
Straight people don’t need a Pride Month. Not because straight people are bad — some of my favourite love stories are straight. Pride just isn’t about celebrating the ones that already get the happy ending. It was — and still is — about visibility, safety, and the right to exist without needing to justify your existence.

Straight folks, you’ve already won the default settings on most of life.
You’ve had the lead role in every rom-com, the legal right to marry without a debate, and the luxury of walking down the street without wondering if holding your partner’s hand could end badly.

Pride exists because that’s not the universal experience.

If you're straight and genuinely want to support inclusion, fantastic. Show up. Celebrate love in all its forms. Recognize that equality doesn’t mean fewer rights for you — it means more for everyone.

But if your contribution to Pride is, “Where’s my parade?” — I regret to inform you, your human rights are not on backorder. You just have to be okay with someone else getting the spotlight for five minutes. It’s not oppression. It’s sharing.

Pride is inclusive by design.
It says everyone deserves to be seen and heard — especially the ones who’ve spent most of history being erased.
If that makes you uncomfortable, that’s not on Pride. That’s on your discomfort with equality.

So no, there’s no Straight Pride Month.
Because straight people didn’t need one to survive.
