Pride is, depending on the interactional and cultural context, either a high sense of one's personal status or ego (i.e., leading to judgements of personality and character) or the specific mostly positive emotion that is a product of praise or independent self-reflection.

So which side of the definition are you using? The first half inevitably leads to a judgment about homosexuals (and not a good one), but I think you're leaning towards the second half, which implies that your sexuality is some kind of accomplishment that deserves praise. I'm just curious as to why one would feel accomplished for being heterosexual, and why it deserves pride.
I mean, usually people reserve pride for when they've accomplished something such as rearing a respectable child.
