Being straight is pretty much considered the ‘default’ orientation in our culture. Since nobody opresses straight people because they’re straight, it seems kind of silly for us to call attention to ourselves with ‘straight pride’ paraphernalia. However, gay people who display the rainbow gear are likely trying to show people that those who are gay are really very much like everyone else. To do so, they have to say, ‘Look, I’m gay! Here’s my rainbow sticker.’ That way, you can say, ‘Oh, I wouldn’t have known you were gay without the rainbow sticker. I guess that means you aren’t that different from all the straight people out there’. And why shouldn’t they be proud of who they are? If they show us that they aren’t ashamed of their orientation, eventually we’ll all hopefully get the message that being gay is nothing to be ashamed _of_.
