Netflix: The Straight Pride Parade 'is about hate — not pride'
GP ^ | 7/18/19 | Shannon Liao

Posted on 07/18/2019 5:30:00 PM PDT by DeathBeforeDishonor1

The company had a strong and swift response after organizers of a Straight Pride Parade included a logo of Netflix on their website about potential corporate sponsors. "You should know that we're unafraid of bullies," Netflix wrote in an email to the group Tuesday. "Our legal department is here, it's queer, and it's telling you to steer clear." The organizers are planning a controversial Straight Pride Parade in Boston for August. The group, called Super Happy Fun America, says it is a civil rights movement defending the rights of straight people. But critics have called the Straight Pride Parade offensive. Netflix (NFLX) called the inclusion of the Netflix logo on the organizers' site "gross and deeply hurtful," as well as "deceptive misinformation." The company said it would consider further legal action if the organizers did not immediately remove the company's name and logo within 24 hours. Netflix's logo is still on the organizers' website, but it's now crossed out. "Netflix has nothing to do with your organization or event. Indeed, it's telling that you feel the need to lie to gain legitimacy," Netflix's IP department wrote in the email. One of the organizers, John Hugo, a former Republican Congressional candidate for Massachusetts, told CNN Business, "We are appalled at the hateful and bigoted email issued by Netflix. By their highly irresponsible statements they effectively demonstrate the serious need for our civil rights movement."

Yeah, who could be proud of being straight? Right Netflix?

Man the Left has a party and business death wish.

Dear Netflix,

I was thinking about reactivating my plan that I canceled years ago. Unfortunately, I read that your legal department is queer, so I am going to steer clear of rejoining.

Per the rules of PC, nobody may show pride in being white or straight. To do so is hateful. This is because the Left is all about inclusiveness and diversity. [/sarc]

The civil rights historian David Garrow wrote a fantastic biography of Obama-a little over a thousand pages long-that addresses his malleable sexuality. Worth reading for those that actually are curious where this guy came from.

I’m offended just about every day during June aka “Pride Month”....

...but of course straight Christian white males are just supposed to “suck it up”.
