Right. Pride is a cause or source of pleasure/satisfaction. That makes sense. But that has absolutely no bearing on the definition of Pride, which still doesn't seem applicable when talking about sexuality. Maybe I'm proud of my hair. I spend a lot of time styling it every morning. It brings me pleasure and satisfaction, and I have pride in it because I work at it.

I can kind of see why you brought it up, by being proud of something you didn't have a choice in, being proud because you were born that way may seem like you're better than those who were born a different way and have a different sexual impulse?

But I think it's double standards. Anyone can be proud of their sexuality, without it being a reflection on another's sexuality.
Again, whatever your sexuality may be is irrelevant.
