'Straight Pride' parade in Seattle didn't go as well as the organizer hoped

Straight pride activist Anthony Rebello organized a Straight Pride Parade in Seattle last weekend and it didn't go as well as planned.

Despite inviting more than 2,400 people via his event page on Facebook, the parade organizer—Anthony Rebello—was the sole parade attendee. No word on where his girlfriend was during the parade. Even with zero support, Anthony say this year's parade was a "warm up" and he's planning to do it again next year.

We all have the right to celebrate the way of life we have chosen for ourselves. In the name of equality & equal rights, I have created this event to celebrate our right to be heterosexual, and to encourage younger heterosexuals that they should be proud of their heterosexuality.

This event is not a protest. It is a celebration for all to enjoy (:

That's just sad.

Dude holds a straight pride parade and can't even get one girl to go with him.

He's failing at "straight" I think.
