Serious answer here. I am a man married to a man. I dislike "Pride" events and tacky rainbows, and the language used on my behalf by some of the activist types in my demographic, and I'd be happy to engage you with a sincere defense of "Pride" given those qualifications. But: I say we change the name to "self pride" days/parades and everyone can be happy about themselves and it can be inclusive to every group then. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9821964 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9821964 When you start talking like that, you've given up pretending that your original question was sincere. You're trying to make a point, not trying to understand. Let's absolutely have these conversations, but please begin them honestly.
