why? its not like gays choose to be gay

Because being gay causes hardships, and it's important to lift your head up and be proud no matter how many external forces tell you that you shouldn't be.



Quite the opposite.

The biggest fix for homophobia in this country will be when someone comes out while holding a newly-won Vince Lombardi trophy.

Perhaps a one-legged ginger headed midget with a speech impediment should be proud of being born handicapped ?

To some degree yes, but choice becomes muddied in the trials of life.

There's significantly less to be proud of, but you can feel free to if that's what you'd like to do, I suppose.

are you saying gays are handicapped?

ouch bro

Of course they are handicapped . It is a vital part of their argument .

Yeah that'd be weird if disabled people felt proud about themselves.



ETA: Also, your "Gays are disabled" argument is roughly on par with a "Blacks are disabled" argument.

imo overcoming hardships shouldnt make u proud of the thing that caused you hardship, just be proud of yourself for overcoming any hardships.

but your point is fair
