Straight Pride T-Shirt and More (Free Shipping)

[GreenG0AT]

well said csaddict. i am a hothead when it comes to defending my "bleeding heart liberal" stuff discussion is healthy- thanx for keepin it clean. 99% of people wont have their opinions changed, especially not by finger pointing and name calling.

So he can't make a joke that it's a "FLAMING" hot deal? I found it amusing.

 

[Crucial]

Quoted from my previous post "I do admit the "FLAMING" remark might be offensive though"

And I am trying to figure this one out "Maybe someone should post a "used-to-be-fat Pride" t-shirt deal so that all the "still fat" people can feel low-down and continue being harassed and beat-up for being "fat"...according to your logic."
So does this mean that when a gay person see's a straight pride sign or shirt or whatever they feel low-down about themselves? Why because society doesnt portray tham as being cool, popular, or "in." I don't quite get what you are saying. Or is this your way of trying to get a rib in on me.

 

[taserT]

forgot to say this too: yes, straight people do get harrassed, beat-up and killed....but not because they're "straight"...for some other reason. Of course, i can't confirm this but i've never heard of it. And i think any minority that wants to push some kind of "pride" message should be able to do it that has suffered harrassment, beatings, killings, etc....straight people are not a minority and why does this site have the american flag in the logo with the "straight" couple on it? The messaga is pretty clear as to what they are suggesting to people.

This is turning into a FLAMING thread.

 

[Crucial]

Well as greengoat said we are actually keeping it civilized and discussing it instead of arguing and letting things get out of hand. I wish my for sale thread was getting this much attention though!!

 

[taserT]

i just mentioned the "used-to-be-fat Pride" slogan as a response to you saying that you used to be fat...and applying that to the "straight Pride" slogan....knowing that overweight people do get hassled and discrimated against to make an analagous point. I am in NO way prejudiced against anyone because of their weight, size, or whatever. So now you might know how a non-straight person might feel about this message/slogan/site since you say i might be "ribbing" you. Ribbing you, maybe (i'll have to look up the exact meaning...but i think it means teasing or joking)...but certainly not trying to put you down. I'm glad too that we can "talk" about this civily. I did not mean this to be a "flame" (as Kintama suggests...at least on my part, assuming i know what the various definitions of "flame" mean).

And i didn't take any offense to the "flaming" post...it really depends on who's using it and it what context. What i was pointing out is that the poster did infer some gay connection to the "straight pride" post/site when other posters seemed to say that it was saying nothing about a connection to a gay person.

This is a hot deal for me. I would have never found it on my own. I am ordering two shirts and two stickers. Thanks for the tip.

 

[taserT]

oh, one last thing before i go to bed. If anyone likes, i can post some hot deals in the hot deal forum to a few sites that have some "gay pride" and "black pride" and a few other minority "pride" items on sale that ARE hot deals money-wise (i thought that's what the hot deal forum was for), but i'd run into the same thing that this thread is all about, right? i'm sure i would, you don't have to answer that! And the deals i'm talking about do not have any links of the type jayhawkin mentions and do not support discriminating against people and denying them rights like the "straight pride" site does (also check out their "about us" page). I didn't know that Anandtech would let a post stay up if it pointed to a site doing this and expressing an agenda like this. But in defense of anandtech i'm sure they don't know about it. I hope that anyone that does business with this site doesn't know a gay person (friend, family member, etc) that the site would continue with it's discriminatory policies against....by purchasing from them. After all, that's why they are selling their products....to promote their agenda! And i'd be interested to know what this "straight pride" site feels about other minorities too. I bet it's not so great in some respect. nite all

Get this t-shirt and some of your $17 will most likely be used to support groups like these (taken from links page of straightpride site):


Q and A about Gay rights

and
American family association

It becomes quite apparent the agenda of this "straight pride" movement.

 

[jsmonet]

first point:
it is still cool to be straight. especially for men, as other men are ugly. the female genetalia is a work of art, while the penis is just kinda ugly and intrusive. were I a woman, i'd be lez in a second.

that's not a dig against gay men. honestly, if you can find something wrong with women, and right with men, then y'all can just have the other men. in fact, PLEASE convert as many other men as possible! it would be nice to have the competition for he women thinned out a little hehe

second point: the people who run that site are idiots. I abhorre people who can't understand the point in gay relationships.

the shirt itself is funny. I'd wear it, if not for the moronic beginnings of it.

can someone post up a &quot;3-some pride&quot; shirt deal then? I'm still trying to find a good hookup on an &quot;I >heart< oral sex&quot; t-shirt for my girlfriend

 

[taserT]

yep, i'm not in bed yet...want to finsih some downloads from emusic.com (got a hot deal from them i found posted here awhile back).

jsmonet...i'm curious about what you said about &quot;i'd wear it (t-shirt)&quot;. Would you buy it from them and thereby support their endeavors. Would you wear it if you got it free and thereby advertise their agenda/endeavors? I know you said you'd wear it if it didn't have whatever you said it had...so i'm assuming you really wouldn't wear it no matter what. But would you buy anything from them or wear anything from them knowing what they stand for no matter how &quot;cute&quot; the shirt or whatever is? People should think about that. Yeah, it could still be a cute slogan if done by a strictly commercial company. I'd suggest a company without an agenda sell something like this...it could be great really. A &quot;straight pride&quot; t-shirt i think would sell good (especially if a gay man were to design it...you know how creative gay men are and how clever they can be with comebacks!...but i guess i'm buying-in to stereotypes)...but without the american flag and straight couple done that way...and definitely without the underlying agenda.

 

[tantos]

save your pride or prides for some other website...17 bucks for any tshirt is not hot at all....want hot deals here, want political agendas? go somewhere else!!!!!!:|

OMG! Thats exactly the way i see it hehe more pussy for me

 

[dolph]

look, seriously, we can go on about how in a hypothetical world, yes, this should be as acceptable as a gay pride shirt. but, unfortunately, we live in the real world. gay people are still being persecuted and harrassed and worse for no other reason then their sexual orientation. the reason why there is no &quot;white history month&quot; or &quot;straight pride parade&quot; is because EVERY month is white history month and EVERY parade is straight pride parade (with the obvious exceptions ). there is no danger in heterosexuality being &quot;threatened&quot; any time soon, and depsite the evil gay agenda i'm pretty sure the human race will continue. please, don't pass this shirt off as just being another political opinion, unless you considered apartheid and nazism to be simply another political opinion as well.
(oh, and in case you were wondering, i'm a white male raised in orange county, ca, which is probably the most republican area in the country. and i worked at a republican congressman's office. so please, no bleeding heart retorts here.)

 

[taserT]

jsmonet and zuchinni....is there really alot of competition going on out there for the women? you do know that if a straight/bi woman thought you were gay or even maybe bi (i'm not suggesting you try to change) that you might be able to get some action even more often since there's quite a few bi/straight women that would jump your bones thinking you were gay. It happens alot. You could probably score just as well if they thought you were bi. Just think of the possibilities....two bi chicks and a (gay?/bi?) guy. Now that should be a hot deal if that's your scene but you'd have to do some role playing. But then again that would involve deceiving/lying to the women and i wouldn't condone that. I guess it wouldn't be too hard for a straight guy to do (the lying/deceiving part as opposed to the bi/gay man angle) since i've heard that goes on alot going by what my women friends tell me!

These websites seem to hold perfectly reasonable views... don't quite understand what you're complaining about...

No kidding. Thanks for the links man.

 

[Groch]

DevineOB, I think the point was that anyone purchasing this shirt should realize that it is distributed by people who DO have an agenda and that in sending them money you are supporting that view.

This would be obvious if it was a Gay Pride t-shirt. Some people who buy the straight pride one may do so simply because it is funny. They should know their bucks will support a view they may or may not agree with.

Furthermore, while the everyone has an opinion and a right to that, many of the &quot;Facts&quot; listed in the Q and A about Gay rights are either totally inacurate or purposely misleading. There is no question but that there is an agenda here.

I do not understand why this thread has not been locked yet. There is no place for it on a Deals board.

 

[Milkyman]

The American Family Association is known for being intolerant.

 

[Nitzylpick]

I think anyone who has to wear a straight pride t-shirt must be deathly afraid of being labeled a homosexual for whatever reason.

 

[Jedibus]

Someone's definitely got an agenda because this is no hot deal.

 

[Sesopedalian]

Not a hot deal and the same old tired boring arguements. Give us free t-shirts, it's bad enough having to advertise some lame company.

 

[zoiks]

Its funny whenever you talk about gay rights people start bringing other minorities into the picture. I dont hate gays or anybody else for that matter but if i was against gays it doesnt necessarily mean that i would be against other minorities.
I guess people have their own opinions and choices just as you ALL have here. Take it or leave it. If you dont like the deal then move along and read other threads!!

A Minnesota student sued his high school when told that he could not wear his &quot;straight pride&quot; shirt to shcool.
The liberals are really something. They expect tolerance from others but they themselves are not tolerant of someon else's point of view. Anyone who disgrees with them is considered racist.
