    You say that straight people aren’t bullied for being straight, and yet the straight tag is in quotation marks and costs 9999 instead of 75. Which is bullying compared to other tags.

    I myself am bi. I would never “wear” a badge saying that. But I understand people that would want to. I also understand people who would want to wear a straight badge. And saying that the only reason to wear one is to be reactionary to gay pride and to “be a counter movement” feels like gatekeeping people away from their sexual identity. I don’t want “straight” to be “normal” and “gay” to be “abnormal”. Assumptions ruin this world and lead to stereotypes.
