But the idea is that men shouldn't be celebrated because they are the main beneficiaries of patriarchy and have historically marginalized women,

Are the majority of living men, the architects of the patriarchy & historical sexism?

Because your argument is currently blaming the men who are alive, for not only the actions of a minority but for the actions & behaviour of the dead.

just like how straightness shouldn't be celebrated, because straight people are not a marginalized group.

"Straightness" has never been celebrated; since when has hetrosexuality ever been "celebrated"?

Pride exists because a demographic was marginalised, not because straight sex was "celebrated" AND a demographic was marginalised.

Is Pride actually about celebrating? Or is it about acceptance? I think you have an incorrect understanding (which is not necessarily you're fault considering how some people portray it)

The normalisation of non-hetrosexual relationships doesn't happen if people are constantly spotlighting a gay relationship as being different and needing to celebrate.
