The "pride" doesn't come from being Gay, the Pride comes from refusing to allow others to degrade them, to stand up to the detractors without backing down. The entire Pride movement started as a direct result of Stonewall(albeit a few years later) where Homosexuals were being illegally harassed and arrested. They stood up and defended themselves.

People don't put you down for being straight but Gays get harassed all the time. They need to let the world know that they are proud of who they are.

It is not being proud of being gay, exactly. It is being proud of having the courage and self-determination to live openly and freely regardless of what others around you may say.

Because everyone assumes it's a shame to be gay. That person is proud to be themself

it's not so much that they should be proud of who they are, they should not be ashamed of who they are. and the reason it's a big deal that people tell them to be proud of themselves is because they get discriminated against

Gay people have to fight to be who they are and straight people don't have to go threw the whole "ur going to hell thing" and "coming out of the closet thing" Straight is accepted w/out question and gays r not.

Sorry, but being gay is a defect and/or emotional disorder.
If evolution is true, gays will be selected for extinction soon.
Why be proud of the fact that you can't understand that TAB A fits in SLOT B and that's how it works?
