Said it before, I'll probably say it again: this is why we should never have changed the name from Gay Liberation. A movement based around human rights and liberation from oppression shouldn't have changed its name from Liberation to Pride. Now we spend a solid 30% of our energy just explaining what pride is and why it should exist, and fending off the constant "why is there no X pride" bullshit. Call it liberation ans it's very clear what it is, what it's for, and why there isn't a straight liberation movement-- it may even cause a few people to genuinely consider if they, the straights, need liberation, too, from the oppression of heteronormativity... Though that's asking a lot of your average hetero
