Hi, as a heterosexual myself, let me explain.
People should be proud of their sexuality regardless of what it. Yes, equality is high on peoples priority lists and so it should be! Equality would mean giving straight people the opportunity to proudly live without fear or judgement. Ultimately, if people are against a straight people highlighting their sexuality, don’t they naturally fall into the same category as any homophobic person? But this draws the question, is there a need for a Straight Pride Event if heterosexuals are living free of fear anyway? Regardless of anyone sexual preferences, body choices or similar, awareness and support is critical to a peace.
That is why straight pride does exist, why it should, and why people should be proud of who they are.
Perhaps one day LGBTQ will be known as LGBTQS?
It might seem a bit rude, but I am explaining that Straight Pride is something nobody should have to debate about, and if you are saying that straights shouldn't have pride for who they are….
well thats putting you under the same circumstances as any homophobic.

The funny thing is, many of these "activists" don't seem to care too much whether people are gay or straight. There was a major "Straight Pride Parade" that wasn't even about heterosexual culture; it was just a pro-Trump parade (the implication being, of course, that you can't be a militant homosexual and support Donald Trump, although I'll admit those two things don't go together well). If the gay rights movement offends you for no other reason than that it resembles OTHER civil rights movements, you can at least be honest about it. The average homosexual is white, so it's considered a little more acceptable to attack them than to attack other groups; their critics often don't even see them as a threat, but they have to have SOMEONE to pick on. (And how would you even put on a parade with 50,000 years of heterosexual culture as your theme? Where would you begin? Would EVERY human ethnic group have to get a float?)

Everyone should have pride in who they are, whether straight, homosexual, White, Asian, Black, etc just so long as the pride doesn’t become arrogance or narcissism.

I think pride also has been changed a bit, be proud as to love yourself and everyone can, as in pride can be your proud as how far you came from the DISCRIMINATION and bad things, and that is mostly derived for LGBTQ (also pls dont argue in the replys if its that bad of an opinion to you and most the creator could delete it)

I don't remember where I first heard it, but the phrase "life is a straight pride parade" has always rung bitterly true in my mind whenever this topic is broached. Your "ability to walk pride" comparison felt just perfect.

1.13 in, I get what you are trying to explain and where you are coming from. However, support LGBT rights doesn't mean the rest has to be silenced. If anything it might actually be a good thing and they can all attend parade or whatever together and people can start to see how there are so many straight people supporting them. This may encourage more and more straight and so on people to support and also be free to express themselves.

So you would compare the "ability to walk" as heterosexual, and you would compare "disability" to being gay…
You need to get better at making points.

Heterosexual pride day is the epitome of that “I am uncomfortable when we’re not talking about me” bird tweet.
Edit: Also, “If gay pride gets shoved down our throats, why not straight pride?”
Rarely ever do you come across a movie, show, video game, advertisement, etc. that doesn’t have at least het romance shown implicitly or explicitly. So much of celebrity gossip and culture is about het relationships. It’s pretty much impossible to go through society without seeing heterosexuality plastered everywhere on a daily basis.
If gay people can deal with this, straight people can deal with one gay pride day.

Many people, including all reactionaries, neglect the fact that LGBT pride started as a political protest, a demand for equal fundamental rights. Straight people do not have any of their rights denied ever due to their sexuality to need their own sexual protest movement. If they want to express their sexuality positively they are always welcome to join LGBT pride parades.

I wish empathy was all it took. That's the easy part. That for millions of minions it isn't – is the issue of our times.
btw…..reading is good. It depends on what there is to read.
When might we see a human pride day? The one thing guaranteed to be shared in common. (Or is that too passe, now?)
Anything can be natural or normal for anyone, depending on whatever turns their crank.
"It's your thing – do what you wanna do
I can't tell ya – who to sock it to"
This used to be shit easily understood by teenagers.
As to pride………….I agree totally with the backlash thing, the it's all about me thing.
But somehow, somewhere, some way…..people have to sit down at the same table.

It's a bit pointless but sure why not?
Heterosexuals are not a marginalised group. Discrimination against heterosexuals is very rare indeed.
The whole point of LGBT pride is for marginalised sexuality and gender identity groups to have a fellowship and celebrate being themselves. It is an affirmation of coming out of the closet and being unafraid of who they are and the society as a whole.
Heterosexuals can have pride sure. A heterosexual pride parade would have a low attendance but I don't see a problem with it.

why would someone be proud of being gay, straight, black, white etc? why would someone be proud of the most boring and no choice aspects of their being?

None other than Dan Savage has suggested that we need straight pride. Gay Pride is a chance for gay people to openly express themselves and their sexuality and show that it is not a dirty thing. They get to dress up in costumes and express themselves. It is something to be celebrated all across the spectrum. And the day he suggested we adopt is Halloween. It would be a day for us to express some of the things that we have to hold back during our nine to five workdays.

I am a little bit ambivalent about that. Something like "hetero-pride" is typically just defined in types of opposition to gay culture, and that's not cool. But I don't think gay pride is these days primarily about oppression either, it is about expressing joy and pride in their community's culture, and there is nothing wrong when the "majority" feels left out, does a bit of navel gazing and celebrates mainstream-ness in all its banality. I'd struggle to define "hetero-culture" as a thing though because of sheer numbers, but when the majorities are less overwhelming their subcultures may very well be quite real.

To the people championing this video, also remember that the same thing applies to white-black pride. And the same thinking comes into context when you talk about white privilege

As a bisexual, I found #HeterosexualPride quite humorous. Perhaps it was just the particular tweets I read, but it never really came off as an underhanded affront to LGBT folk. I think it's good to joke about these things, as long as passive aggression isn't one's motive.
In cases where people were being serious about #HeterosexualPride — such as the examples you gave of fundamentalist Christian — then I agree with your points.

so why is it ok for people who are abnormal, as the speaker has implied, to have pride in their life style and I shouldn't?

I don't know that I agree that most people who do the whole "straight pride" thing are necessarily trying to make it about them. I think most of them just don't get the point. Essentially, you are attributing to malice what you should be attributing to stupidity. Don't get me wrong, you were definitely explaining what gay pride was about and what it wasn't about, which is good, because it helps to educate those who just don't understand, but you then chose to portray most people as little whiners who just wanna make everything about them. From what I've seen, that isn't really the case.(I could be wrong of course, but this is coming from my experience.) It really is a matter of stupidity over malice.
When I ask people what they mean by straight pride they do tend to say stupid things like "I'm proud of being straight!" Which, yeah, is just dumb, like you explained. It also shows that they think gay people are just all "Look at me, I'm gay, I'm proud, pay attention to me!" So, people who are running around with "straight pride" shirts and putting hashtags out think that it is in fact the gay people who are being the whiny look at me people. Don't get me wrong, these people are really hard to educate, because they do tend to be a bit on the homophobic side, but I don't think most of them are truly trying to detract from the meaning, because they don't even know what the actual meaning is.
