The first "official" pride event. Not as colorful as pride is today. We celebrate gay pride because as you know LGBTQ youth etc are often oppressed, attacked, or otherwise silenced due to their sexuality. We stand in solidarity as gays/etc who aren't ashamed of who they are. We also honor all the activists who paved the way for gay rights. We celebrate and honor their struggle and plight as well as those who suffer today due to their sexuality.

There's no straight pride because straight people haven't organized any straight pride events. If they really want straight pride then they should organize an event. The problem is people expecting other people to do everything for them.

Because people tend to be proud for some reason about things they have been born with, like sexuality, skin colour, nationality, etc. How can someone be proud of something they didn't do anything to achive?

typically people feel pride for their accomplishments

im gonna go out on a limb here and say that since the majority of people in the world are heterosexual, there are pretty strong odds that the majority of human accomplishments were achieved by heterosexuals. or is it just that only people in the minority of any group of sets are allowed to feel pride?

It comes down to this:
"Too bad, we exist."

Rampant bigotry seeks to make LGBT people outright invisible, and succeeded for centuries if not millennia. I'm aware not all civilizations were as backward on the subject as many are today, but making the oppressed invisible is the number one priority of aggressors.

Also contrary to the bigoted notions of "maybe if they didn't dress like that I would respect them more," history has shown that the silent are even more violently oppressed than those who speak up.

I don't sympathize with people dressing up in skimpy costumes and parading fetishes and whatnot, however I understand why. "F you, we exist, too bad."

It's unfortunate it's taken to that extreme by some. The fact is 'we' are rare. There's nothing wrong with acknowledging that. Adding cis-this or that is kind of silly. I can understand in discussions specifically on the topic of gender identity, but trying to change language in general is just plain silly. Most people are straight (or mostly straight) and identify as the gender they were born as. Accepting that as the default should not be an affront to those who are different. And that typically gets the "you can't choose who is offended" line. But that said, and it pains me to repeat it since bigots love it but it's true: one does not have a right to not be offended either.

Most people that believe in equality are not so outrageous. I don't presume to speak for anyone else than myself, but I do agree things are taken way too far by some. Jokes are not inherently bigoted. A character that is stereotypical is not inherently the result of bigotry. A flaws woman or LGBT character is not by default the result of misogyny or bigotry.

Those extremes are ridiculous and dilute the message of equality, but that said they aren't an excuse to fight against equality either.

I understand that it's used as a way to force acceptance of something that reasonable people are already fine with anyway... Bigots won't change their minds, they'll only dig in their heels, especially over some of the more hypersexualized aspects. If it's a case of "showing them anyway", what's the point?

Pride was created as a means of unifying and celebrating something that we were born with. So many people died and fought very hard to get the rights that gays have today.

THAT is something worth celebrating.

The message is...slightly diluted by some of the newer generations who don't respect the history behind it and use it as an excuse to party but...the message is just that.

People suffered, we preserved, we exist and will continue to exist and deserve to be acknowledged as normal humans.

I explained it already. Name something that straight people have suffered from or continue to suffer from?

No? Okay.

Barring individual problems, as a COMPLETE WHOLE amount of people we were oppressed, killed, and suffered. And LGBTQ youth etc still suffer in various parts of the world BECAUSE of their sexuality.

If the negative connotations exist, then positive connotations will exist too. That is pride.

Well, too bad. This topic is as close to the definition of a troll topic as you can get. It exists for the sole purpose of eliciting a political argument. That's a fact.
