#HeterosexualPrideDay is trending, and it is causing a lot of drama. Over the weekend, a man on Twitter named Sam decided to have some fun and took to Twitter where he launched #HeterosexualPrideDay after being asked, why do straight people go to gay pride events?
It appears that Sam.@_JackNForTweets was poking fun at Latinos, blacks, women, and gays all being honored with a “national month,” and laughingly said that America should have a Heterosexual Pride Day and the hashtag took a life of its own.
Here is the original tweet that lit the fire:
For moral support. Same reason I'm encouraging gays to join the celebration on June 29th. #HeterosexualPrideDay https://t.co/xakyWupE0N

The #HeterosexualPrideDay is trending both on Twitter and Facebook and millions of people now all over the world are reacting to it either in a harsh or amusing manner. Here are few head-spinning comments from straight and members of the LGBT community:

Remembering all the heterosexuals, who were bullied, beaten, fired from their jobs or killed just for being straight#HeterosexualPrideDay

I'm Heterosexual. One day I hope to be accepted for that without being told to "Die Cis Scum" and "Kill all Minivans" #HeterosexualPrideDay

You cant just have a day because someone else has one. The other one was earned through pain, sacrifice, and death. #heterosexualprideday

As it has been showed above, #HeterosexualPrideDay has taken a life of its own and made Sam a real star, who has been having a field day responding to his haters.
As the official #HeterosexualPrideDay creator, direct all tweets of disapproval of this holiday to me and me only.

Heterosexuality also leads to gays being born in the first place. So salute to us.#HeterosexualPrideDay https://t.co/cfq7QcT2g3
