"The poison is shame. The antidote is pride" The Allusionist podcast had a episode about why the word "pride" was intensionally used. Others in this thread have mentioned societal shame that was put on gays. But it was more than that. It was also a deep internal shame and self-hate that many homosexuals felt about themselves. And remember, this was started in the late 1960's when it was almost unheard of for someone to come out and be open about being gay. http://www.theallusionist.org/allusionist/pride http://www.theallusionist.org/allusionist/pride
