In regards to the whole gay pride thing, it has become apparent that it was irrecoverably ruined due to the fact regressive leftists have taken over the gay community and drove everyone else out, and also because everyone who started gay pride has gone regressive such as flag designer Gilbert Baker, tainting the popularly accepted symbol of homosexuality with terrorism.
Because of this corruption it is time to end all the gay pride crap, including the parades that now allow exhibitionist streaking and sexual contact.
It reminds me of the old carlin thing where he discussed it, and the idea of pride being too common. "Pride is something you should feel from accomplishing something. Climb a mountain? Feel some pride. Lose 100lbs? Feel some pride. Being born with something doesn't then mean you should be proud of it."
I've come around to the idea that pride is a sin because it's something that's easy to unnecessarily feel, so if you make it a sin you make sure that people don't feel prideful unless it's really necessary.
You climb Everest for the very first time and justifiably feel a sense of accomplishment, but that tinge in the back of your head tells you "should I really be proud of this?", which keeps you grounded.
I like that idea. A lot of people could really use their own personal 'memento mori' from time to time. The NPCs seem to behave as if they will never die, like they're exempt from the human condition and the laws of thermodynamics, right up until the end.
