You’re so right! The straights are so brave and persecuted!
It’s so hard to be considered the only valid sexuality by the majority of people and religions. They should definitely cater to the straights. The lgbtqia+ population shouldn’t get a single thing- not protections, spaces, clothing, or even name tags that straights don’t.
Think it’s time that the straights get a pride day? Maybe a white lives matter movement is in order too! Maybe we should have a mens day as well. Hell, let’s do something super special for all the straight white men since they have it so tough and their title is important and they fought soooooo hard for it.
So I guess setting equality as the goalpost is fine. But I just don’t think that straight people are really all that into having recognition for being straight. And I don’t think that LGBT want straight people to be treated worse in order to achieve equality. So maybe not the best goalpost but it’s close. Fish and birds have very different needs and equality is not really going to make it better without a lot of nuance.
Like the guy on fire begging for water doesn’t deserve it more than you but if you point at him and say “no fair what about equality” it kind of ignores all the important context and makes you look like a dick.
And straight people aren’t all that into being bashed and berated for being straight. I want equality, and to me that means equal, no context needed. So it comes off as extremely hypocritical when I see straights, whites, whatever it may be, getting the same treatment that they get ridiculed for. Your analogy works for a lot of things, but not for the way anyone should be treated. Period.

Equal means equal. Your argument just creates a different hierarchy does it not?
