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.

Putting all of that aside, "PRIDE" is an entertaining drama and perhaps the biggest new title of the season.
