Title: Heterosexual Awareness Month
Post by: StupidWiz on February 27, 2013, 05:22:54 AM
Here. (//http://www.facebook.com/pages/Heterosexual-Awareness-Month/410539992371974)

It's a page on FB that I just found. What do you guys think? I find it so... irritating, but since they have freedom of speech, so... yeah.  :-?

Hey, there aren't many heterosexuals out there, so we need to make sure people are aware of their plight...  :rolleyes:

(It looks like parody to me, but then again... Poe's Law)

I'm heterosexual.  I need a pressure group so I can have an axe to grind, dammit!   :P

I really hope it's a Poe, but... it actually looks very real to me. It's kinda sad thing to see really.

I think it's half bigots and half people thinking it's a joke, judging from the comments.

That sums up much of FB very nicely IMO. :rollin:

I just want to know what struggles the heterosexual couples are going through.

Plenty, because most heterosexual couples are made up of one or more idiots and those are good at causing problems for one other people.

Unless you meant "struggles due to not being accepted in society", in which case I'd say... none probably :P

That's no Heterosexual awareness site, that a Monogamy awareness site...

And to answer some questions: as a heterosexual polygamist I can tell you firsthand that not all heterosexual relationships are accepted by society.

Then what does that have to do with being heterosexual,transgender or gay?


Probably nothing.  Pretty sure it's a married-people joke.

All those gays hitting on me really annoys my fiancé when we're out. She gets pissed. Why can't they keep their faggotry where it belongs, you know, IN HELL!

Eh, let the bigots have their bit of fun. To me it seems the same as any other stupid Facebook group. I've seen "White History Month" groups come and go, so this isn't surprising to me.

To me it seems like a sign that they're losing anyways.

Isn't there a rich, old, white guy awareness day with white wrist bands we can wear?

The number(not percentage) of divorces each year in Canada have dropped since 2006. I blame gay marriage.

Mark your calenders for "Respiration Awareness Week."

We'll be passing out stickers to place over your mouths along with swimmers nose plugs to symbolize the plight and suffering of those who cannot breath.

Speaking of, when we do the gathering for heterosexual awareness month the decor is going to seriously SUCK!  It's going to be all moose heads and shit.

Yet another First-World Problem.

Seriously, it's so difficult to be a straight white man these days! You can't even call someone a nigger or a faggot without them getting all offended. And don't even get me started about trying to get some bitch to make you a fucking sandwich!

I think all these celebration months are ridiculous - black history month, white history month, gay awareness month, straight awareness month, etc. History should just be one thing-history-and it should include the accomplishments of people of all races. Creating a separate month for black history will only strengthen racial tensions and make whites feel threatened, thus trying to establish some sort of white history month, and furthering the racial divide. It's a similar thing with sexual orientation (is there even such a thing as gay awareness month? I'm not sure). Being proud of your sexual orientation is just as ridiculous as being ashamed of it.

And however hateful and bigoted the comments on that page were, I can't condone Facebook removing it. People need to learn to deal with nasty comments on the Internet. I'm sorry, but if you're getting offended by pixels on a screen, you shouldn't be on the web to begin with. The Internet should be a place for people to freely express ideas and opinions, whatever these might be.

And just where is "fat middle aged medium income white guy month?". Seriously, I feel so left out.

In this case, I agree. I don't think this necessarily crosses the line into hate speech. its almost worth the lols to have it on there.

Kein Mehrheit Für Die Mitleid!  

The german band or the more gramatically correct
Kein mitleid fur die mehrheit
"No pity for the majority"??
