	Gay pride - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		Symbols of gay pride include the rainbow flag and also of the pink and fl triangles reclaimed from their past use.
		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.

	pride
		In Christian dogma, pride (or vanity) is excessive belief in one's own abilities, that interferes with the individual's recognition of the grace of God.
		In English, the term "pride" also has a more positive sense referring to self-respect, refusal to be humiliated, and joy in one's accomplishments.
		Even outside a religious environment, pride may constitute a weakness in an individual, since somebody who is proud is likely to be far more affected by public humiliation or defeat than somebody who is humble.

	Gay pride - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		The movement may arguably be seen as analogous to the "Black is Beautiful" movement in the United States during the 1970s.
		Just as African-Americans argued that beauty should not be solely defined by the standards of the ethnic majority, members of the gay pride movement argue that the inherent worth of homosexuality should not be defined in terms of the heterosexual majority.
		Social conservatives, on the other hand, generally reject the premise that sexual orientation is inherent and fixed, and thus see pride parades as celebration of what they see as negative life choices.
