A “straight pride” parade took place in Boston, sponsored by a group that calls itself Super Happy Fun America. Apparently, the Super Happy Fun Boys feel that the civil rights of straights are under threat and decided they should protest. So much for the window dressing. 

In fact, it shouldn’t be called a “Straight Pride Parade,” but a “We’re scared to death we might not be 100% straight parade,” and it is held to give sexually ambiguous males an opportunity to assert to one another their aspirational masculinity. I do not know how well “super happy” and “fun” and “America” are a part of this rather pathetic “straight pride” protest. Maybe “Super-Frightened Feeling-Threatened America” would be a more descriptive name for the sponsoring group.
