Straight night sounds stupid because straight people haven’t been discriminated against for decades/centuries. As far as I can remember no one has been tied to a barbed wire fence and stoned to death for being straight.
Yes, eventually everyone should be included every night. But that ignores history and current reality. For everyone to eventually become equal it takes action to lift up those who have been oppressed through generations and let them know that everywhere is a safe place to be who you are.
I actually can’t believe this needs to be explained.
