Hundreds of thousands of tweets have been sent Wednesday with the hashtag HeterosexualPrideDay.
The idea of such a day has outraged many. One of the top responses comes from British comedian Dapper Laughs, who rhetorically asked on Twitter , "What's next, #BreathingAirDay?" Others have flooded the hashtag with gay pride memes and other mentions of support.
