Yeah, it's not about your sexuality being a point of pride. It's just about being proud of who you are as a person who is part of a minority group. Nobody's thinking that being gay is better than being straight, they're just trying to be proud of who they are.

I agree, I always feel that pride is about being open/honest/proud of who you are and who you love, and being accepting of others, in who they are and who they love.

The specifics of who you are and who you love are not important.

Minority or not, all are welcome as long as you can accept others for who they are and who they love.

.... With the obvious exception of relationships that are illegal... I'm specifically thinking of pedos here, but I'm sure other illegal relationships would also be unwelcome, like bestiality, I guess. IDK.
