Firstly, let's not start jumping to conclusions, I didn't create this thread to start fights and if people start insulting and fighting I'm going to have the thread closed so let's try to be friendly here.

My question to you is: why is that form of expression any more threatening to you that any of the ones I mentioned above? Why are gays and lesbians any less deserving of that basic human right that is the birthright of every other citizen of this nation?

IMO, it's not just THIS form of pride that bothers me, I don't really like pride of any kind (I think it's slightly OK if you keep it to yourself and keep it IN CHECK), I'm a firm believer of the saying "Pride goes before a fall".
I think that if people
prove their worth they wont have to MAKE others believe it by surrounding them with all kinds of things that tell them they should be accepting of whatever it is.
