Pride may not be the best word for GLBT parades and festivals.

I wanted to share something that I learned in evening service last night because I found it quite interesting that these words were spoken.
A quote from Out of Africa’s author Isak Dinesen “ PRIDE is the faith in what god saw when he made us...”I don’t know if there really is a god. I’m still struggling with that. But if there is....isn’t it wonderful that such a being would see us as unflawed in his eyes even with all our imperfections? Surely he must value our diversity. I just wanted you to know that.

Yes, of course. Most humans have evolved beyond thinking disease is caused by "demons", and that someone with red hair is evil.


Pride in this context means purely: There's no shame in being LGBTQ.
