I’m white, straight, and proud of both. Just like anyone else, I have a heritage and a chosen preference. Anyone who would threaten or belittle those things of mine should think twice.

Also, there is nothing to be proud about being straight and white if it means that you aren't accountable to your privilege. I am white, but I make sure I'm not serving up unchecked white privilege and discriminating against people of color. I do what I can to help fight against racism. If you're not doing the same, then you're a part of the problem. Same thing for discriminating against someone because of sex.
