(Aside: Really, being proud of a lot of these things people take pride in are just retarded. Gay pride? Okay, so you're just rubbing it into everyone's faces your personal business now that the law protects you. Seriously, STFU. If you people didn't parade around making it look like the limp-wristed S&M rainbow apocalypse was coming, I bet a lot fewer people would give a shit that you were gay.)
