Rephrased: no, I don't think most ___priders are flaunting themselves. I do think that the word pride makes it sound so, however, and do not like the term. I see where people who think that pride=flaunting might get that idea, because of the words used.

Is that clearer?

[harukami]

I understood what you were saying; to rephrase what I said, since you were responding as if that was the only meaning of the term, it sounded as if you believed that the intention of using that term was to bring up that connotation, not "opposite of shame".

That all aside, I'm pretty sure when push comes to shove anyone who'd think we're flaunting it will do so regardless of terminology used because, well, they think we're flaunting it for showing any signs of our existence anyway usually! And so it's more important to establish the pride elements for those who might need it in their lives than to hide it for the sake of people who might think badly of it.

Moving on, though; I think we've gone about as far with this as it's useful to go.

[(Anonymous)]

I did not believe that was the intention, but I do believe that it is a sad side-effect of that word choice. I don't think even you could deny that this is at least true to some degree.

Yep; I'm never going to like pride because of what it connotates to me and those around me, and you're never going to dislike it because of what it connotates to you and those around you. Nice talk, though.

[harukami]

You're right; I think some people might view it that way. I just also think the people who would take the word that way are also already biased enough that we could call it "gay happy fun time party" or "disability fuck this shit let's celebrate" and they'd still find some way to imply we're making ourselves sospecial and should tone it down. *wg* So the happy side-effects of the word outweigh the negative imho.

Yeah, nice talk.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't think so... some of the people I know who do take it that way are gay themselves, and it's offputting to them, which I'm sure is not the intention. But the people I know aren't the people you know, etc etc.
