[@Buddha] I got your point now. I would have to agree that Pride isn't about awareness to other people. Pride is more so an internal acceptance for the individual/community in and of themselves.

As for keeping it in a 'private area' eh we can agree to disagree on that. Two different places, cultures, and opinions. Lol. I don't think anyone should only be allowed to express themselves in private vs the public. But you've stated your opinion on this already so I won't rehash it (or at least try not to?)

BUT MY POINT IS, I get what you mean about Pride now.
