text: Literally no one is saying you can't take pride in your personal identity, but when it's only brought up as a response to other celebrating theirs, it just paints a victim complex. Cause I only hear about people insisting how important straight pride is during pride month, or white pride during black history month.  Use your personal pride as a positive thing, not as a way to tear down another person's, and people will more often than not respect it.
