As another straight white man, I can tell you that I feel no need to express pride in my whiteness or heterosexuality because there's never been any need for it. I've never had to hide who am I. I've never had to defend who am I. I've never been made to feel like less of a person by other people's bigotry. I've also never been told that there wasn't anything I couldn't do. There was no closet to come out of. There's glass ceiling to break through. There's no stereotypes that I have to strive to overcome.
I think these declarations of pride are more about people saying that they won't be ashamed of or apologize for who they are.

I hate satire, especially when it is hateful and written by a hater.

Whaaa?
OP, I'm going to assume you are being purposely ironic as Burdman suggested. Otherwise, re-read your post veeeery sloooowly.
ETA: Satire? Just barely. LOLZ!

I think i understand this is a satirical post, but since we are here.. hate is a strong word, but they need love, those who hate GLBTQ+ people, or different Races or Genders hate for a Reason, it's easy to hate back, with the life i have gone through for my 23 years of existing, i could easily Hate my Parents, or the people that have abused me physically and mentally, Hate is very easy to justify, but loving those that hate you is stronger stance

This is not satire. This is politically motivated hate speech, by your own admission. Seems you hate anybody with an opposing view of gay rights. Veiling your day-to-day discrimination with claims of satire shows poor form.
his seems to be the trend in America though - dislike, or even Hating others for views that are not agreed with, and it happens on all sides of an issue.

Do you ever just feel sick when someone walks into the room? Like, the way that person is, is so backwards, so messed up that it almost makes you feel ill? These people that are against gay rights make me so infuriated, so angry, I refuse to be friends with such people, I've even given worse service to these disgusting types of people, I know I know, treat others with empathy and try to be kind to everyone.... but such terrible people don't deserve empathy or compassion, right?
Open your eyes people. Hating someone for disagreeing with you is always the same act, you spend enough time Hating others for their discriminating views, you've become the other side of the same coin.
