I have decided to use my journals for personal purposes
10 years ago
My therapist told me that I should start writing a journal. Well, my handwriting sucks and I have a tenancy to grip my pencil tighter and press on the paper harder when I'm upset. So, I'm going to use my FA journals. Hell, maybe I'll get some support from you guys! I need it like, very often. All I need is a simple "Hey, it'll be okay!" and I'll be fine.
First, I'd like to vent about some recent events that have popped up on my Facebook. Apparently it's discrimination against heterosexual, cisgender men and women to hold gay pride parades and other events. Since when is there a rule that says "supporters are not welcome?" Even if you're cishet and support the LGBT+ community, you're fucking allowed.
"Why do you get gay pride? Why can't we have straight pride?"
Okay, I'm gonna stop you right there. You can be proud of yourself! You CAN be proud of yourself! You CAN be proud of yourself!!! But, if you're using your straight pride against the LGBT+ community, you're doing it wrong.

Idk, I get that being gay is a big deal, especially when you come out, that's a make it or break it in your circle of friends and you family. And it's tough, and I understand that being openly gay is a thing to be proud of, because it shows that you're a tough cookie and don't take no one's shit. But I do understand where some people are coming from, "why IS there a gay pride parade?" Why is it that even though the gays get a parade for being gay and proud, if the straight people did the same it would be considered offensive, or lashing out against gays. I'm sorry, but I just hate when any one type of people are prioritized over others. (And I'm not just talking about sexual orientations)

(Ps, don't take this as me arguing with you please. I don't want you to think I am. I'm just aggravated with this whole "privileged" Bull. )

OP
No, I get you! I don't see it as any form of privileged. Cishet people are definitely allowed to, UNLESS it's specifically for the purpose of lashing out at the LGBT+ community. But maybe that's just how I feel about it :/
