On the subject of "pride days"

I think some of you guys are seeing this the wrong way. Pride is being proud of who you are, hardships or not. So really, any group can have a "Pride Day".
 
Alright everyone. Everyone should have pride in something. These pride events showcase an attribute that a bulk of society shuns. When you celebrate gay pride you are sending a message to society that their harsh scrutiny and condemnations will not take away their pride. If we talk about straight pride, it does not make sense, there is not a message that you need to tell society purely based off your sexuality. However, everyone, gay, white, bi, trans, black, and everyone else has something that they can be proud of. Gothitelle, you are mulatto, and obviously you have gone through struggles, why not celebrate that? And if you are white and straight, you may be proud to be a father or mother, a veteran, a student, an athlete, a musician, poke-fanatic or whatever. These are things to be proud of because you put a lot of work into those accomplishments. It is not an accomplishment to overcome the adversities of PURELY being straight, it is however an accomplishment to overcome the adversities of being gay, if you have had problems PURELY based off your sexuality.
