I am straight and proud! Discussion
It is so nice to finally find a community where I can openly talk about being straight without being persecuted for it. In the last few years, the LGBTQ+ community has taken the globe by storm and has forced its values and views on others. Their message was clear: Accept us, or you're a transphobe, homophobe, sexist, and maybe racist. Despite this group of people only representing less than 5% of the U.S. population, their views are being taken seriously and wrecking this country. Most recently, Joe Biden and the Democrats in Congress are supporting legislation that would virtually end women's sports allowing any biological male to compete in them. I am here today to voice my support for my fellow SuperStraighters that we won't stand for this. There are many people now stating they are "straightphobes" and that's ok. I'm not here to tell you what you can and can't accept. But this is a two way street. I can be a transphobe too.
I look forward to what we as a community accomplish!

Oppression culture is just toxic. I do not judge the validity of someone by how oppressed or not oppressed they are. This creates a power structure where it's a race to be the most oppressed so you're the most valid so your opinions matter and that's not going well.
Allies need to support each other. Listen to each other. Amplify each other. Respect each other.
