	Gay pride - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Critics of such opposition regard it as pandering to homophobia, a rejection of accepted norms in the LGBT community and repression of diversity within the community.
		The gay pride or simply pride campaign of the gay rights movement has three main premises: that people should be proud of what they are, that sexual diversity is a gift, and that sexual orientation and gender identity are inherent and cannot be intentionally altered.
		Within the gay community, some reject the notion of gay pride, perceiving therein an undue emphasis on sexual orientation and a lack of discretion and modesty to the detriment of either public morals or the cause of gay rights; they propose to soften strident activism in order to better integrate into the mainstream.
