I thought we were having a discussion , not implying someone else ' s life and attitudes based on a comment that represents nothing of which you said . If you wish to undermine it some more go ahead . But before you rip another shout into echo canyon could you enlighten me as to why you think straight pride isn ' t a real thing while gay pride is real ? I believe the pride that a gay and straight person will experience is different , but by telling a straight person not to have pride in themselves is similar to saying not to go out and try your best . A gay person feels proud to be involved in rewriting social norms and breaking out of their shell as an act of self improvement . A straight person feels pride because they without it they feel shame , and why would they feel shameful for being the way they were born ?
