Dude, we get it: you find homosexuality disgusting and you've build a load of rationalisations so you can pretend there's something more than it makes you feel icky.
Yes, and?
Dude, I get it: you're ashamed to admit you agree with my arguments, so you're going to invent a strawman to hate instead.
"Potentially illegal" for straight people to kiss in public!
There it is, your classic fallback every time you lose an argument: "You actually agree with me, so I win."
If a person has to construct a fake opponent to disagree with, the logical conclusion is that they are incapable of disagreeing with the real argument.
Yes, there are public indecency laws in the world. "We're going to hold a parade so that everyone has to see us making out" is not a normal or accepted thing. There are rare occasions where things like that happen, circling back to Mardi Gras, but you are delusional to imagine that as an average, everyday thing."Potentially illegal" for straight people to kiss in public!
It isn't at odds with the dictionary definition you posted.
I do not understand why you all bother arguing LGBT anything with T "Trans people are just mentally ill" Storm
You realize that where you've chosen to equate "self-importance," most reasonably people would insert "self-WORTH," which is where the majority of people land in the modern use of "pride." If you think groups like "the Proud Boys" are more representative of the generally accepted intent of the word, well, you're just intentionally choosing to opt for the most damning misrepresentation for the sake of your flimsy assertion, or you're just wrong. Take your pick; either way your credibility is non-existent.
Sometimes when someone is trying to evade saying what they really think, you should just prod them until they reveal more of themselves.
None of those definitions above are self-worth. I wouldn't dispute that is how many if not most view Pride now, as in the movement. I'm saying that pride, the actual word, is the wrong word for that, and was inherited from people sending a very different message.
You think I come here to evade saying what I think?
Nobody says what they really, really think. And thank god, because if civilisation is anything, it's dealing peacefully with people you hate.
I wouldn't describe "hatred" as being one of the most prominent emotions I have towards other people.
It isn't at odds with the dictionary definition you posted.
So you're defining "shoving down our throats" by the reaction rather than the act itself. On the basis of my dislike for whatever someone might be doing, that someone is therefore "shoving [whatever it is] down my throat". Even in the case of taking a seat and remaining seated; the only reason this is of any significance is that the reaction is entirely unreasonable.
Over and over until they addressed it.
I don't hate anyone. I joke hate Lyndon Johnson, but that's about it.
Worth is an inherently relative term, an objects worth describes it relative to other things, most directly to money. This is especially true if you intend to have celebrations of specifically the characteristics that are different than others.
Those came from Silvanus, allegedly from 1980. I picked nothing.
No, it means they see their child as the most important. And they probably do.
If you are unaware, Rosa Parks was an activist before she was arrested, and remained seated fully aware and intentional in the message being sent. This is not criticism.
A) it was already addressed.

That's good to hear. But I think you may have taken my last comment much more seriously than I wrote it.
My point is that YOU alone prescribed the "self-importance" when, in the context you're trying to pass it off in, it's not reflective of the general idea of "pride" as it is used by most other reasonable people.
No, it doesn't mean that at all. Surely even you can see the lengths to which you're reaching to make your flawed point. Of course an individual's child is the most important to them, but to think pride in their child's mediocre accomplishments is evidence of perceived objective "importance," that just doesn't track. How many parents do you think attend a kindergarten school play and see their child's effort as "important" beyond any other child's on the stage?
You're just wrong. Many people are proud of a lot of things that aren't important. Pride =/= importance; the only one equating the two is YOU for some intentionally flawed reason. I'm not even sure what point you're trying to make anymore.
Tstorm isn't just a bigot towards gay and trans people. He is a bigot towards everyone who isn't exactly like him. Because he, in all his self-importance, sees himself as the norm, the standard, the target everyone should aspire to- and if you don't, if you aren't doing everything you can to be just like him, it's a sign of mental illness or self-delusion... because why else wouldn't you want to?
