I have found that Pride means so many different things to so many of my gay friends. To some it means that there is at least one day of the year that they can feel totally comfortable in their homosexual skins with no worries what others may think of them.

To some others it is a celebration of their homosexual lifestyle. To yet others it is a day in which their souls can feel connected with others like themselves.

On the other hand there are some that feel Pride is crap, an over done festival that celebrates exclusivity when all we want is to be accepted into this diverse world. In other words, can you be special and part of the “normal” world at the same time?

One person mentioned that there was a time and place for the Gay Pride in the past, but Gay Pride celebrations and parades are no longer relevant today. “Gay pride parades were fun in the 70’s”, another said, today the parades are only for anyone with a cause or a business to hawk.
