EDMOND, Okla. -- 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.

There's nothing wrong with being straight. They were born that way and they just want to celebrate Heterosexuality. </sarcasm>

LOL. At least it exposes the GATE as having no sense of humor whatsoever.

If the straight students ever stage "an attack on gay and lesbian students" they will be holding their press conference in the Emergency Room.

So any city that has a "Gay Pride" parade is "attacking" heterosexuals?

Some months ago, a radio station in my area held a "Straight Pride Parade." The gay activists in my class went absolutely nuts. Apparently straight individuals are not aloud to be proud of their heterosexuality.

There is a survey on the linked site. As of now the results are:

Which is the closest to how you feel about the College Republicans' "Straight Pride Week" Celebrations?

Good for them 2538 56%

They are being discriminating 238 5%

I don't mind it because it 758 17%
just makes them look bad

Neither "Gay Pride Week" nor 1003 22%
"Straight Pride Week" should
be observed

This week kicks off the central Ohio "Regular Guy Pride Week" here in Columbus.

That's right!

We're going to be meeting each evening at Hooters on Rt. 161 in the North end.

We're planning excursions to Dockside Dolls and Humidor Plus as well as some possible trips to White Castle and Waffle House.

It should be a fun week

Tell your boss you have the flu and join us for some "No' Ma'am" style fun!

They just want to celebrate their sexual identity. What's the problem?

"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.

That's what's called bringing out absurdity by being absurd. This idiot just made the point for the Republicans: What's to be proud about regarding "gay pride"?
...and what's that snide remark about being white? Are all gays this bigoted?

What's the matter? Can't celebrate "diversity"? Can't embrace the "lifestyle choice" of others? Why are you so heterophobic?

"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."

If anybody can find any kernal of coherence in this statement, please offer a translation.

Homosexual Agenda Ping.

Sounds good to me.

So a "Straight Pride" week is an attack against lesbians and gays (sic)?

Pretty weird they can say that with a straight face/no pun intended.

Let me and DirtyHarryY2K know if anyone wants on/off this pinglist.
