Philippe I, Duke of Orléans’s “homosexual activity was not unwelcome, because it was seen to reduce any potential threat he may have posed to his older brother.”
That is a rare instance where being straight was more dangerous.
Straight pride is stupid.
If you are brown…the US.
That’s a country where being brown is dangerous, not being straight.
Though being the straight partner to a brown person can be dangerous here (even if you yourself are not brown), so I guess it does work in a way.
As a straight cis man, the idea of straight pride is pathetic. It’s so easy, nobody ever questions you for it. There is no work in living your sexuality. Such a sad idea. Has those “all lives matter” vibes
Tbf all cemeteries are for living people. The dead don’t care.

I mean with domestic violence rates as they are you could argue it’s dangerous to be a straight woman pretty much everywhere.
In that case they should become feminists.
Being straight is pretty dangerous on the sun, but considering it a country would require stretching the definition
I’ve literally heard someone say “You’ll be discriminated against for being straight in the US!”
Nah, bruh. It’s not your straightness that’s the issue— it’s your stupid-ass views & shit-fuck opinions.
Does having your name / reputation / career ruined because a previously consenting straight partner later decides “Nah” count as dangerous? Cause women are sorta doin that to cis men very publicly in some western countries, like Canada. Like there’s currently a big public case where a chick was on video consenting to an orgy, callin the guys sissys for not fucking her faster, and now they’re all on trial cause she later decided “wait, havin sex with 5 dudes in one night made me feel like a ho!”. Being a cis guy and openly expressing an urge to fuck is also a great way to get fired from pretty well any professional job – but if you’re gay, you can get in your gimp suit and party on a parade float and people will cheer you on / you’ll be able to sue if you get fired for it.
Or are we going to scope ‘dangerous’ down to fit a more niche thing to suit the argument?
No.
The answer to your first question is: “No. Not at all. That is independent of sexual orientation.”
And “openly expressing an urge to fuck” at work vs “get in your gimp suit and party on a float” at a public event… If you can’t sus out the difference between those two situations, no wonder you are afraid of getting in trouble…
What a dumb argument.
From what I observed the people who consider the concept of consent flawed and are discussing how it could be improved upon, so the safety and comfort of all people involved is protected seems, are the same people who fights for women’s right. There is a great RadioLab dive in on the topic - I honestly couldn’t recommend it enough). People who demands straight pride parades uses any edge cases of consent going wrong to weaponize it into “it happened, so the consent was there”. If you’re genuinely concern about safety and well-being of man, you’re putting your effort in a wrong place.
Can you share a direct link to that RadioLab piece please?
of course. it was a multipar series called “in the NO” or simply “No”. Here is the first part: https://radiolab.org/podcast/no-part-1
Do you know you’re being disingenuous?
Straight people aren’t being murdered for being straight.
None of your points are examples of how it’s dangerous to be straight.
I honestly don’t have any pride for being straight, and I have no idea why I should.
Uhhhhh, what is most of the Mediterranean a few thousand years ago for men. I’ll take anti-heteronormativity for 600
It was only dangerous for slaves
They also fucked kids and had slaves, so I wouldn’t look to the Greeks and Romans for your standards.
Not saying that gay is bad, just that your reference is.
Do you have a link about this? Not arguing, we are genuinely curious.
Nothing concrete, it was just a widespread practice to molest boy-children under your apprenticeship and to sodomize other adult men as an act of power, privilege, and pleasure. You would have been considered a bit peculiar not to do so, were you able.
Technically, both acts were perceived as straight, as male heterosexuality hinged upon being in the penetrative role, but I was just trying to be funni before I noticed the community
