you saw a "straight" pride march.
Would it be seen as "homophobic" and would it therefore be objected to.
I think it would. Why is it that non straights seem to want to shout the fact from the rooftops.

The first gay pride parade in 1969, known as the March on Stonewall, started as a protest against discrimination and violence against gays in New York City. Today, pride events have become an annual ritual and have grown to include thousands of gay and gay-friendly participants, not to mention hundreds of spectators. Many gays and lesbians dress in bright colours, head-to-toe leather or sometimes next to nothing. But regardless of the attire, all of the participants join the festivities to remind the world that gays deserve the same rights as others and people should be free to live their own lifestyle, void of judgement or hate. Gay pride is also seen as a symbol of solidarity and an opportunity to express the vivid personalities which reflect the diverse gay communities throughout the world.
Not all gay people support the rallies, and many would probably fear or feel threatened by a �straight pride� and straight people would probably view it as a cause-less aim, akin to homophobic or fascist ideology. There is not really much point in holding a �straight pride� as it would seem there is nothing to achieve. Much better joining an anti-war march (or Amnesty International or similar etc) and show humanitarian solidarity.
