Straight Pride Pins Draw Amusing Criticism (Goes to San Francisco Gay and Lesbian News, more at the link and boy is the pin shown eeuuugly):

Some straight people in the UK are wearing their pride in the form of a pin which partially resembles the LGBT rainbow flag.

The redundantly described “Straight Heterosexual Pride Wavy Gold Plated Flag Pin Badge” sells for £4.50 on Amazon UK, offered by a company called “1000 Pins” which also sells a variety of LGBT themed adornments.

Of course, social media is not having any of it and critics have taken to their platforms to denounce the accessory mocking its lack of color compared to its rainbow counterpart.

“Straight Satisfaction is seemingly as beige as most straight folks’s personalities,” wrote one Twitter user according to the UK LGBT publication Gay Star News.

“The irony of a straight pride flag being an eye shadow palette,” Ken, another Twitter user quipped.

“Why does the straight pride flag look like a Sephora ‘eye shadow for beginners’ sampler?”

“If I saw someone wearing that I’d assume they really like bacon or something.”

Even straight allies are taking offense to the pin.

“As a straight person I would like to apologize for this abomination,” one said.
