About 30 years ago, when the lunacy of gay pride starting becoming common, Nancy Reagan commented on it by asking "What is there to be proud of ?" LOL. Well, good question. What IS there to be proud of about homosexuality ? Is there something to be proud of about being a sex pervert ? Of living an abnormal, lifestyle that is contrary to nature ?
Actually, the use of the word "pride" is a false flag. It is a DEFLECTION used by gays to cover up the real shame that is inherent with this perverted way of life. The idea is the more gays exhibit a pride in being gay, the more people, especially young children, will be influenced to accept this nonsense as being an acceptable, legitimate lifestyle. Tell a lie enough times and eventually people will begin to believe it.
Speaking of flags, yesterday the suck-up mayor of St. Petersburg, Florida, Rick Kriseman, happily raised the rainbow flag of homosexuality, alongside the American flag, to honor gays, in time for a Gay Pride Parade they are having tomorrow night in St. Pete. The rainbow flag is also now displayed on all the lampposts lining Central Ave, in downtown St. Petersburg, where the parade will proceed, with thousands of gays happily displaying their perversion, and pretending that it is acceptable and valid.
So while these mentally aberrated people go out flaunting their sickness, they are also insulting and offending the thousands of members of (and veterans of) the US Army 42nd Infantry Division, whose logo is that of the rainbow. I wonder how many of these gays ever served in the military, or have any idea of the thousands of soldiers of the Army's 42nd Infantry Division who lost their lives in World War I and World War II, so that these sick people could now go out and parade, and freely express themselves.
I really think the news media is doing a disservice to us all by broadcasting and reporting on these gross displays of human pathology. Think about all the children sitting at home who may be watching these trashy displays, while no parent is in the house to lend their parental comment(s).
No folks, there is no "PRIDE" going on here at all. It is all a big show by gays who are simply trying to coverup their shame, and recruit more young people into their ranks (noting that gays cannot reproduce, so they must recruit).
What a joke to hear the word "PRIDE" being bandied about here. Do we hear about telephone pole climber "pride" ? Or cab driver "pride"? Or mechanical engineer "pride"? How about fishing boat captain "pride" ? Of course not. Because these people have no need to express or display their pride, if they have it. They are not trying to deflect away shame.
I think it refers to coming out and accepting oneself and others. The intent is to support those who cannot
help being as they are and being rejected by society if this isn't something they can choose or change.
I think "pride" becomes detrimental when it involves justification to insult, demean or reject others as inferior.
Also, the type of people who can change their orientation is different.
Why aren't we just as "proud" for former gays who come out and admit they used to identify
as homosexual but now they don't.
Because that would hurt the false politically driven claim that they are born that way.
What evidence do you have that homosexality isn't born? Experiential? Are you gay curious, had an affair and now hate yourself?

1. The experiences of ppl who were not born homosexual, but were abused which is external, not natural, but not a choice. And then when they went through recovery counseling and healed from the abuse, they reported transforming to heterosexual which they identify with as their natural self.
2. Research on identical twins shows about a 50% rate of corresponding orientation. Since it isn't 100% matching this is argued as not genetic, but where studies show slightly above 50% it shows a tendency with other factors still involved.
Wrong, it is not 50%. It is 11% of identical male twins are both homosexual, 14% for females. The study you reference was Simon LeVay's study that was never able to be duplicated. Simon LeVay is a homosexual and his bias is found in his work. Here's what the researchers who tried to duplicate it found:
Eight Major Identical Twin Studies Prove Homosexuality Is Not Genetic
"Excerpted from OTToday: Eight major studies of identical twins in Australia, the U.S., and Scandinavia during the last two decades all arrive at the same conclusion: gays were not born that way.
“At best genetics is a minor factor,” says Dr. Neil Whitehead, PhD. Whitehead worked for the New Zealand government as a scientific researcher for 24 years, then spent four years working for the United Nations and International Atomic Energy Agency. Most recently, he serves as a consultant to Japanese universities about the effects of radiation exposure. His PhD is in biochemistry and statistics.
Identical twins have the same genes or DNA. They are nurtured in equal prenatal conditions. If homosexuality is caused by genetics or prenatal conditions and one twin is gay, the co-twin should also be gay.
“Because they have identical DNA, it ought to be 100%,” Dr. Whitehead notes. But the studies reveal something else. “If an identical twin has same-sex attraction the chances the co-twin has it are only about 11% for men and 14% for women.”
Because identical twins are always genetically identical, homosexuality cannot be genetically dictated. “No-one is born gay,” he notes. “The predominant things that create homosexuality in one identical twin and not in the other have to be post-birth factors.”
The predominant things that create homosexuality in one identical twin and not in the other have to be post-birth factors.
Dr. Whitehead believes same-sex attraction (SSA) is caused by “non-shared factors,” things happening to one twin but not the other, or a personal response to an event by one of the twins and not the other.
For example, one twin might have exposure to pornography or sexual abuse, but not the other. One twin may interpret and respond to their family or classroom environment differently than the other. “These individual and idiosyncratic responses to random events and to common environmental factors predominate,” he says.
The first very large, reliable study of identical twins was conducted in Australia in 1991, followed by a large U.S. study about 1997. Then Australia and the U.S. conducted more twin studies in 2000, followed by several studies in Scandinavia, according to Dr. Whitehead.
“Twin registers are the foundation of modern twin studies. They are now very large, and exist in many countries. A gigantic European twin register with a projected 600,000 members is being organized, but one of the largest in use is in Australia, with more than 25,000 twins on the books.”
A significant twin study among adolescents shows an even weaker genetic correlation. In 2002 Bearman and Brueckner studied tens of thousands of adolescent students in the U.S. The same-sex attraction concordance between identical twins was only 7.7% for males and 5.3% for females—lower than the 11% and 14% in the Australian study by Bailey et al conducted in 2000.
In the identical twin studies, Dr. Whitehead has been struck by how fluid and changeable sexual identity can be.
“Neutral academic surveys show there is substantial change. About half of the homosexual/bisexual population (in a non-therapeutic environment) moves towards heterosexuality over a lifetime. About 3% of the present heterosexual population once firmly believed themselves to be homosexual or bisexual.”
“Sexual orientation is not set in concrete,” he notes.
Even more remarkable, most of the changes occur without counseling or therapy. “These changes are not therapeutically induced, but happen ‘naturally’ in life, some very quickly,” Dr. Whitehead observes. “Most changes in sexual orientation are towards exclusive heterosexuality.”
Numbers of people who have changed towards exclusive heterosexuality are greater than current numbers of bisexuals and homosexuals combined. In other words, ex-gays outnumber actual gays."
