Straight pride

Straight pride is a reactionary slogan that emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It has been used by some social conservatives as a political response to "gay pride", a slogan adopted by various groups (later united under the abbreviation LGBTQ) in the early 1970s.

Straight pride events have often garnered controversy and media attention. School policies and court decisions regarding freedom of expression have drawn particular attention to straight pride, spotlighting individuals protesting school expressions against harassment of LGBTQ adolescents.
