“Straight pride” proves a complete flop

Wed 29 Jul 2015 In: International News

A man who tried to hold a ‘straight pride’ event was the only person who turned up. "Straight pride". Or one guy with some balloons. Anthony Rebello urged people to come along to the city’s Capitol Hill to celebrate heterosexuality. “We all have the right to celebrate the way of life we have chosen for ourselves. In the name of equality and equal rights, I have created this event to celebrate our right to be heterosexual, and to encourage younger heterosexuals that they should be proud of their heterosexuality,” he wrote in a Facebook invite. Rebello was the only person who attended. He claimed that was because other straight people were ‘scared’ of the lgbt community.
