"Pride should be reserved for something you achieve or obtain on your own, not something that happens by accident of birth." - George Carlin
Exactly, that's why you shouldn't be proud to be LGBT+
Maybe one day, but one could argue that it takes active effort to be openly LGBT+ because of the potential harassment or worse
This. Even coming out when people are supportive is rough to say nothing of a huge portion of the world hating you for no reason.
Also, pride is more about visibility than actual pride. About showing each other that we aren't alone and that it's ok to be open.
