Avengers: Endgame Star Chris Evans Speaks Out Against "Straight Pride" Parade.

It’s officially June, which means folks within the LGBTQ community are celebrating Pride Month. June was chosen to honor the Stonewall riots that took place at the end of June 1969, and it became an annual observance in the United States in 1994. Yesterday, the idea of a “Straight Pride” Parade became the topic of discussion on social media when it was announced that three straight men in Boston were planning their own event. The concept of "Straight Pride" is ridiculous for a host of reasons, many of which were recently shared by a famous ally. Chris Evans, the actor best known for playing Steve Rogers/Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, took to Twitter today to share his thoughts on the subject, denouncing the idea of “Straight Pride.”

“Wow! Cool initiative, fellas!! Just a thought, instead of ‘Straight Pride’ parade, how about this: The ‘desperately trying to bury our own gay thoughts by being homophobic because no one taught us how to access our emotions as children’ parade? Whatta ya think? Too on the nose??,” the actor wrote.
