Gay pride??????????? Not being gay myself, I have to put this question forward. One of two things can be true. If you are gay, you eithier are because you were born that way, or because you chose to be. Most will say they were born that way, which means it was not a cognisant choice. If this is true, how can you take pride in being gay? You had no choice. Thats like saying I'm proud to be white. Really? You had no say in it, why would you take pride in that which you cannot control? Pride can be taken in personal choices and achievements, but not in things you have no control over. So if you didn't choose to be gay, yet take pride in it, how are no any better than some white prider? If you did choose to be gay, how can you defend your choice from attacks from christian fundementalists? I'm not gay, not anti gay, not christian, not a white prider. Just a question.
gay pride? what makes you so proud of being gay? you dont see people running around screaming straight pride. i think gay people just want attention, thats it when im proud, im not proud because im a minority as someone said if i went to africa and said white pride, i would probably be consider racist. are you really proud of being messed up in the head?
Gay Pride? Ok gay people, you guys claim you want to just live a "normal" lifestyle. Well then, why do you feel the need to have "Gay Pride" festivals and dress with rainbows and bright colors and you feel the need to tell everyone you're gay? Now I know, not all of you do that, but I know some of you do. I've seen it. So if I had me a "Straight Pride" festival, would you be mad at us? Say that we are taking away the only thing that's yours?

Is it ok to celebrate gay pride without being gay? Or is it offensive? I happen to be straight, but I just love gay people! They are the most fun and friendly people to be around.

What could I do to celebrate Gay Pride month in June? I'm bi and I want to show my pride for who I am but guess what! I HAVE NO CLUE HOW TO DO THAT! I'm only 14 so I'm not very educated in Gay Pride.

Does wearing a gay pride flag mean that your gay? I'm asking because I'm straight but I do support gays, bisexuals, lesbians, transgendered and everyone really and I wear a gay pride flag but people think I'm gay. Wearing that flag, does it mean that I'm telling everyone I'm gay without me realizing it or are they just being close stereotypical?
Is it possible to have gay pride without being gay? What exactly is gay pride? Pride of the people who happen to be gay and are strong enough to carry on their normal lives despite many obstacles, or is it literally, pride of being gay, simply being proud of your sexual orientation?

Should I not where a gay pride wristband to school? My cousin who is gay and very out about it recently gave all his supporting family gay pride wristbands. I'm in 8th grade and wanted to wear mine to school. I asked my dad about it and he said it's not a very good idea and that I could get in trouble for it. As far as I know though it's not breaking any school rules, but I could be harassed by other kids. Should I wear it anyway?
What would be a good song for a kind of gay pride video? Its not exactly about gay pride (more support the gay type thing), but its about how people who are gay and lesbian feel like they can't tell anyone because they'll be judged and that sort of thing.

What do you think of Gay Pride Jerusalem? I'm gay, and I think they were out of line. In fact, I live in San Francisco and our gay pride is way over the top for me here. I'm proud to be gay, but I hate this perpetuated image of us in underwear and rainbows. It would be like having a Martin Luther Kind Parade and everybody wearing purple fur, and gold bling, playing 50 cent, and dancing the electric slide. I don't think it is appropriate to provoke anger through sexual exploitation were it isn't welcome. Yes, they should have a parade, but in an appropriate context for their conservative neighbors. They're only making their situation worse. At least some good came out of this, I never thought I'd see Israel and Palestinians agree about anything! What are your thoughts?

Barcelona Gay Pride is supposed to be starting today, but their website doesn't seem to have been updated much - it mentions a film festival, charity events etc. happening over the next 10 days, but with no specific details. We're flying to Spain next Wednesday and just wondered if there was anything (apart from the parade & after party,) that we might want to go to? Or any other suggestions for things to do/places to visit around Barcelona, apart from the usual tourist stuff (which we know about already as we've been there before).

How can a closeted homosexual show gay pride? I am 17 years old and am gay. I have not come out to anyone and do not intend to for a while. I do, however, want to very discreetly show my support for gay rights and pride. I would like to do it by maybe wearing something under another thing. Maybe this doesn't make sense but do you have any ideas? Not to be rude, but I don't need advice telling me to come out. Its not so much 'pride', but I just want to wear something that shows, if even to myself, that I support the 'cause', even though im not ready to scream it to the world.
