But "Gay Non-Shame" doesn't have the same ring to it! It's similar for Black Pride, Latino Pride, etc, and is the reason that White Pride isn't really acceptable (because white people, in Western society, have never been systematically made to feel ashamed of their whiteness, so "pride" in being white only makes sense in a superiority sense).

    Basically, Gay Pride is an expression of self-inclusion. They are refusing to let themselves be considered separate from the rest of society (of course, this is in general; a few gay people I know are kinda assholes if you're not also gay, but they're not the norm, and you get people like that from every demographic).
    Well put.
    We are not talking about the pride that goeth before a fall, or the pride that is one of the Seven Deadly Sins.

    I hate Stereotypes... All the people who stereotype are all weird looking and they smell funny.
    ..And the Swans are the Premiers...The Ultimate Team...The Ultimate Warriors. They have overcome the highly fancied Hawks in brilliant style. Sydney the 2012 Premiers - Gerard Whately ABC

    Sorry, I don't really understand where you're coming from. Do you mean like having sub categories, such as L@SS? Black Swans?

    Why does the AFL hate disabled people so much? We have rounds for women, for gays, for traditional rivals and for indigenous Australians. Not having a handicapped round seems like a calculated insult to me. You bastards.

    OK. Some groups deserve the labels they are given.
