Do you think you have to be gay (even bi-curious) to fully support gay Pride and to attend the parade?

I fully support gay pride, but I am straight. Everyone I tell that I want to go to the Gay Pride Parade asks if I am gay, bi or bi-curios.

Why do you HAVE to be in order to support it?

I support Breast Cancer Awareness. I do not have breast cancer, do not have any lose friends/relatives with it and nor do I hope to get it... but I support it.

  • Nah, that's not a requirement! Some people can't understand supporting anything that doesn't directly affect them.

  • You don't have to be gay, lesbian, transgender or bisexual to attend. You're a straight ally, you have every right to attend as well!

    I would go to one, I don't care what anyone else says!

  • I love the pride festival we have in my city...Fablous Ferndale.

    Ferndale is to Michigan as San Francisco is to Cali...even our mayor is gay.

  • You don't have to be gay to attend. You could be supporting a friend or family member. Or just supporting your own belief.

  • No, I do not have to be black to support black rights. You should support and participate in things you believe in, not just what you are.

  • Im straight, but I fully support gay rights.....


    I think people who tell you that are messed in the head. but they honestly don't know any better... Too many people are raised to hate what they can not understand... I was raised to love everyone & everything no matter if they were gays, straights or purple with pink butterflies on their heads. Its just how I was raised. Which was pretty lucky for me, since my baby brother turned out to be gay...

    I think you need to support what you believe in , no matter what......

  • You definitely do not have to be gay to attend a pride parade! You could have friends that you are there to support or relatives or just want to support it in general!

    It should be important to every American, especially where RIGHTS are concerned
