I would only protest if it was staged as as exclusive or antagonistic event as has already happened elsewhere. I think the moves by certain groups to 'claim' straightness have turned people off the idea.
I can't say I'm particularly proud of being straight. It is the default position and the easiest route through life. It was not even a choice. May as well be proud of being tall.
I tried to reply last night, but that was just as Steem went down. Trying this via palnet that may be working now.
