This is a rude thing to ask...but...why would anyone be proud about being gay?
Not so rude, really.
The liberal view is that being gay is an inborn trait. The liberal view is that we should all be free to express any sexual feelings or desire publicly. The liberal view is that it’s harmful to NOT express such desires publicly.
So, because of the liberal thought process, it stands to reason that people should be proud of being gay.
But this only works for officially recognized aggrieved minority groups. You couldn’t have “straight pride” because that’s not politically correct.
It’s the same as black pride or other ethnic pride. A black mayor of a largely black city such as New Orleans can proclaim that New Orleans will be a chocolate city, and it’s all good. But we all know that if the mayor of St. Cloud Minnesota praised his town as a cloud city or a vanilla city, all he** would break loose as liberals and the MSM hyperventilated, and politicians and educators convened seminars on the topic of hate and injustice and such.
