Maybe the difference is that our society created an atmosphere that kept folks who were gay from admitting it because they were made to feel ashamed or at least that seemed like the intent. So a gay pride t-shirt was to say I'm not ashamed, in fact I'm proud of who I am. Heterosexuals have never been made to feel ashamed by their sexual orientation so perhaps a straight pride t-shirt would come across as an attack on homosexuals.....just thinking out loud here.

In any case I do find it difficult at times, being white, male, heterosexual, and if all that isn't bad enough I'm a Christmas Celebrating Catholic!!! I've been told that I'm infringing on other people's right when I openly celebrate Christmas, or talk about my beliefs etc. Mostly this happens at work but even at work, why am I infringing by celebrating Christmas but if a co-worker celebrates Kwaanza, he/she is just celebrating his/her culture?? I have to be politically correct by not forcing my traditions on others and then AGAIN I have to be politically correct by allowing other cultures to celebrate theirs!
