Pride is weird.

I'm bisexual. I'm not proud of that. There's pretty much nothing to be proud about. I didn't choose to be bisexual, I just am. And yeah, there's nothing wrong with that, but it's not some kind of achievement either. I find it intensely weird to celebrate pride in something I have absolutely no control over.

Having said that, if it makes people happy to be proud of their sexuality and gender identity, then good for them. I support them and I hope they have a great time during pride month. Personally though, I'll be spending it just like any other month, enjoying a fairly quiet life with my girlfriend.

Cool. I think the concept of pride celebrations came about because previous generations were taught that being gay or bisexual was something to be ashamed of. So if you’re living your life freely, without having to deal with that, then the struggle has had some social relevance.
