As a rejection of the shame others would rather they feel.
I would say it's less about what they do than who they are. And they have just as much right to have pride in who they are as anyone else.
I guess it would look that way if your heterosexual relationship is just about what you do with body parts.
That is a good point, but it isn’t what they display in parades and such. I knew one homosexual couple that had been together for many years, and they didn’t display their affection for each other any more than the average heterosexual couple. I’m sure they loved each other, which is something valuable to them. It is the sexual preferences that are on display not affection and devotion.
Yeah pride parades in certain cities are (or were) over the top imo. But thats a tiny minority of pride events.
Its basically just about being visible and asserting that they have human rights like everyone else. Thats my understanding anyway. Im not a participant.
It seems like many people want gay people to just go away. So I guess the right to not have to go away. But as I hinted at, Im probably not the best person to ask.
That is probably an exaggeration. I primarily object to them promoting their sexual practices, particularly to children. If they are not believing Christians or Jews, I can understand their lack of shame, but that still doesn’t mean they should be proud of their practices, nor should the practices be celebrated. Consenting adults can do what they like without proclaiming it to the world.
I look forward to weddings/marriages being made private affairs that are not spoken of nor announced and no longer flaunted with symbols worn prominently by those involved in them.
Traditionally, weddings and marriage were celebrated because they were a symbol of the growth of the tribe. The fact that some weddings are now merely expensive performances is unpleasant.
