This seems like the answer to your question. There's been a lot of really valid points on why people may get offended by the term, whether or not it's meant to be offensive, and rather than acknowledging it you just say that you're allowed to say whatever you want. There is something you can do, you can change your choice of words to better get your point across. Maybe it will help if you can give specific examples of relevant conversations where you use the term straight pride.
