This pride month, in an incredible act of bravery, one straight Chapman student, Kyle Denvers, decided to take to Instagram to come out in support of the LGBTQ+ community. “I felt that it was important for me to use my voice this month to let people know that I, Kyle Denvers, am straight, but an ally to those people.”
Back at Chaptown, Denvers’ GAY friend, Cristian Smith, suggested going to LA pride as a way to further show his support for the community. And this was perfect. Kyle knew that this would be the best opportunity to combine his passionate allyship with his love to get bitches. However, to his disbelief, Denvers was extremely stunned by the lack of dayger guidelines being followed. “First of all . the ratio was offff………why are there so many guys?” he questioned in confusion, “not only that but they’re wearing less clothes than the girls???? ”
But the pride dayger wasn’t all sunshine and rainbows for Denver. He felt hurt by the fact that men who were attracted to other men weren’t hitting on him more: “They should be more grateful of the fact that I’m here and not calling the police.” However, Kyle Denvers didn’t understand that the point of pride was to celebrate and honor the years of work and sacrifices that marginalized community members have dedicated for queer visibility today. It started off as a riot, dumbass.
When approached for a Tik Tok regarding his thoughts on the implications of the overturn of Roe v. Wade would have on the LGBTQ+ community, he was excited to give his thoughts as an educated ally: "I really don't know what that has to do with them. Do you mean like, they would be happy cause there's more babies for them to adopt?"
