God of the Rainbow,
More than those who watch for morning,
Our souls wait, for the day when each of us,
of every gender expression, gender identity, and sexual orientation
knows that we are meant to be:
loved, cherished, and protected; and
that we are to be:
proud of our identities; and
celebrated.

For we are your imperfectly perfect children,
called to reflect Christ’s radiant light,
embody Christ’s radical love; and
build your beloved community,
especially when storms of fear and hatred rage around us.

And so, more than those who watch for morning,
we, in our great diversity,
wait for your promised rainbow of peace,
as we work towards a world where every gender expression, gender identity, and sexual orientation is affirmed as beloved; and,
every soul’s spirit is able to sparkle, shine and sing your dream with pride.

May it be so,

Amen.

—Rev. Dr. Alydia Smith

Every year, someone asks why there isn’t a “Straight Pride.”

The answer is actually pretty simple.

Pride didn’t begin because LGBTQ+ people wanted special treatment. Pride began because LGBTQ+ people were criminalized, rejected, silenced, excluded, and told they didn’t belong.

Pride grew out of a movement for visibility, dignity, safety, and equal rights.

The reality is that straight people have never had to fear losing their family, housing, job, marriage rights, military service, or their lives because they were straight.

Pride exists because LGBTQ+ people have experienced all of that.

The short answer to the question is this:

There is no straight pride because no one is being oppressed or killed because they are straight.
