ORIGINAL: dcnovice FR Did anyone else see that today was Heterosexual Pride Day on Facebook? Fine by me, actually. Any excuse to celebrate. [:)] A number of people posted this thought-provoking map. In yellow countries, straight folk can be discriminated against (fired, denied housing, not allowed to adopt, etc.) on the basis of their sexual orientation. In red ones, they can also be imprisoned or even executed.

Yes, all the countries in white are those in which at least some discrimination occurs for a variety of reasons. People discriminate against each other on the basis of race, religion, skin color, culture, social group, body type, eye color, language, sexual preference, sexual identity, sexual desirability, lexical ability, charisma, social status, income level, intelligence, body fat percentage and anything else they can come up with. That's human beings and a crap-load of people in the gay community do exactly the same thing. I don't have a problem with the gay community fighting for human rights. I do have a problem with them playing the victim and pretending life is a paradise if you're straight. Or white. Or male. Or a combination or all of the above. Sexual orientation is only one axis of discrimination and straight people do not sail through life simply because they prefer tab A to go into slot B.
