If you don't agree with it, please don't argue with me, it's just my opinion. It's not even that bad either so hopefully this doesn't get rage-negged.
I think it's sort of, no offense, stupid to have Gay Pride. Wait, don't neg this blog yet! So is Straight Pride; that's stupid as well. Why would anyone need to have a day dedicated to themselves to show "pride"? Instead, you should be proud of you everyday. It's sort of let's say if there were Black People Pride Day or White People Pride Day or Asian People Pride Day or even Polka-Dotted People Pride Day! No one should have just one day of the year to show their pride, you should be proud of yourself every single day of the year, not just one. We're all humans, it doesn't matter if you're Straight, Gay, Lesbian, Trans, Black, White, Asian, Spanish, Polka-Dotted, whatever! We should all be proud of ourselves and be kind to each and everyone person. We don't need just one day to say "Hey, I'm proud to be ____!" You should be proud everyday and not to just one "group" of people; everyone should be proud. You're alive, living and breathing on Earth. It doesn't matter who you are because in the end, we're all human. #TruthTea
Pride is essential because gays are essentially treated as second class citizens. Some gays look to pride as a sense of belonging and it really kind of makes them feel normal like they should. I will disagree and say you're wrong until I die because you are.
Pride is good, but you don't have to flaunt it. However, in regards to gays, they still have a civil rights fight going on. They need to flaunt their pride or they won't get their rights
It isn't just about being proud, its about bringing awareness to the LGBT community. It's a act to try and get people to see that were here, were humans, and should be treated like ones, not bullied and killed (Back in the old days when gay pride was created people would often be shot or beaten to death for being gay, bi, or so on) So it isnt just about being proud about being gay, its a effort to eliminate the un-equality that the LGBT community faces everyday
