As the LGBT community winds down Pride Month, the hashtag #HeterosexualPrideDay has once again started trending on Twitter.
If you flip your Twitter calendar back in time, it's clear this hashtag pops up around the end of June pretty consistently.
#HeterosexualPrideDay
And this certainly isn't the first time anyone's tried to create something like "straight pride month" or "straight pride day."
People have been asking this important question since 2014.
When is #heterosexualprideday
Twitter user @_JackNForTweets, or simply Sam, has claimed ownership as the official creator of the holiday.
As the official #HeterosexualPrideDay creator, direct all tweets of disapproval of this holiday to me and me only.
Given the importance of Pride Month to the LGBT community, and the recent tragic events in Orlando, a lot of people aren't standing behind him on this one.
Why are gays telling me to let it go when their outrage is responsible for my hashtag being #1 in the fucking world? #HeterosexualPrideDay
Whether the origins of the "holiday" were once sincere or everyone is just being completely trolled, the internet is having a lot of fun with the hashtag.
