    Pride for being LGBT isn’t about being proud for being LGBT. It’s about being proud of being yourself despite living in a society that usually tells them not to, or even persecutes them for being themselves. That is an action, an act of rebellion and truth in the face of adversity. That is what they’re proud of.

      Pride for being yourself openly despite others negative pushback and reactions is certainly something I can get behind! Just important to not confuse it with pride for being LGBT+ though
