many of them don't even know WHY they should be proud? or WHAT gay pride represents? I used to be a public relations officer for my campus glbt organization and all the members wanted to do ALL this gay pride stuff, and I asked them, "How many of you know when the first gay pride parade was?" "How many of you even know what the rainbow flag represents"? and "How many of you know what lead to the level of somewhat acceptance glbt people have TODAY?" and I was AMAZED at how many people don't know their gay history. Doesn't this seem a bit hypocritical? I mean it seems to me, in order to know where you're GOING, you have to know where you CAME FROM. How can we be shoving rainbows in people's faces when we can't even back up our own reasoning for doing so?
