If you’re straight, and you’ve told everyone all you want about how great your spouse/marriage/relationship is without worrying you might be ostracized over it, then you don’t need to ask: Why can’t I take pride in my sexual orientation? You’ve already enjoyed the freedom to express your pride, without having to feel the burden of simultaneously representing not only yourself but also a lot of other people in a fight against discrimination. And if you’ve only thought of straight pride as a rhetorical response to gay pride rather than as a genuine response to a real need, that stands in contrast with gay pride, which is not just a talking point but a way to counteract how people have been shamed and attacked for being gay.
