uh... we've often talked on this program about whether a white pride group is
inherently racist
we now have a different type of group we have a heterosexual pride group and the
question is are heterosexual pride groups anti-gay
well the out southern poverty law center
has done suv date date look at allot of these different groups and there's an
interesting article on their website espy l center dot oric about a specific
heterosexual pride group it's a face book based group
they have a face book page called heterosexual awareness month
right now back in june of twenty twelve the group was created to quote celebrate
heterosexuality
the page administrators who are are not in this one does go by the name dr him
i guess stands for heterosexual awareness month
saying that uh... the pages mission is to quote educate the world
commemorate our heritage celebrate our culture
and liberate
at face value before we get into the specifics of what's been posted is a
heterosexual
pride group
anti-gang
by its very nature
whitby automatically know
yet on what do you think
it's hard answer in practice uh... it is as as it's just it is that way because
the only thing that will make someone identify with being white
as a category is being an oppressor
the only thing that white people
have ever been identified four as a group of white people is oppressing
people of color in
so in that sense it's very hard to believe that you could do that
without identifying with the oppression
okay so a couple of different and i think i'm going to be clear emilie
anytime there is a heterosexual pride group
it's going to be anti-gay
but you don't think that it it uh... it doesn't have to be a dozen happily
practices they are it's going to go get here so i kinda disagree with them
arcade on
well the reason why you have you know k pride
uh... you know black history month of women's pride women's lib movements the
reason why you have it and people identify and that way
to have pride is because there are oppressed
i mean that's the reason why they have pride in a restaurant around
to have pride
in being white is essentially to say that you're proud that you are
privileged above everyone out what if it was the white pride group
in a country where
whites art not than anyone
name one now where they're not the majority but were there
oppressed because they're white in ok related to but so you're saying lewis's
example is not good
because uh... because heterosexuals
i have never been oppressed
now we have what i want to get to this which is now we have more information
about this group we've started to see on the heterosexual awareness month page we
started to see comments about the quote gay agenda we've started to seeing
baseless links between homosexuality and ***
we've seen photoshopped images of gay pride marchers
with signs they're holding altered to read my butt hurts
and one comparing the quote for dole garden of heterosexuality to eight toxic
waste his own
of homosexuality
we now are very clear that this particular group which was supposedly
just a group about heterosexual awareness
um... is an anti-gay group and now the image we have up on the screen they put
out this graphic recognizing hey symbols and next to the nazi swastika
they have the so-called hate symbol of the
pride flack the the equality of rainbow call it what you will right so it's very
clear i think what's going on with this group is it not yeah it is oh and like i
said i mean
just knowing uh... al people act and how people think
uh... any white pride group
or heterosexual pride group is is
you know sadly going to be
anti-gay anti
non-white
the thing to me is let's let's say you can be blitz is just assume for a second
okay
that you can't pass pride around being straight
right in the same way that somebody can have deptford prideful of of being gay
let's assume there is such a thing is just honest
uh... straight pride
the idea
that you feel in this saturday
to create the group around eight and to create messaging around it is a red flag
to me it's hard for me to me it's almost
understand that these are
people that are doing incredible damage and and being very very hateful but in a
way it's almost sad to me sit to spend your time making face book page is
saying i'm proud of being heterosexual just live your heterosexual life you
know what forget about making pages about
prided
pride when it comes to things like that is interesting
because in hour as we feel that racism
should not exist as you know if all of you should not exist you know i don't
really think project either because you're being proud of something that you
never had any control over either right well you know how did they think that
they do right maybe i think it's a choice
well this group thinks anywheres that's kind of another issue yeah
strange stuff
