If they are so proud why did they change the name from gay to pride ?
Same reason they changed the name from homosexual to “gay.”
They’re trying to find a suitable name they won’t eventually want to run away from to hide their identity.
Even the CDC went to called them “Men who have Sex with Men” but still use the word “lesbian” in some places. Weird.
Better to use the more inclusive "pride" to include more who aren't gay.
And because lesbians won't date trannies.
Delve into the details of that culture just a little and you'll understand why they use a lot of euphemisms.
