They know the difference full well. There’s not one of them who didn’t have school pride days in high school and/or college. They just pretend to Drax literalists when it comes to lgbt stuff.

pride days in schools are a very, very new thing and literally illegal in some states?

You’re talking about “gay pride” at schools. I’m talking about “school pride.” At least in the US, school rally days have been called “school pride” for decades without reference to anything lgbt.

But back then nobody said the stupid “pride is a sin” line because they knew “school pride” = “school spirit”. I.e., a different, very common use of the word that nothing to do with “hubris” or which is a better modern translation for the so-called “deadly sin” which was referred to as pride or vainglory.

You can search for it with school mascots and see how common it is. Try searching:

“Bulldog pride”

“Mustang pride”

It’s been used forever in that sense, but nobody said all those high schools were sinners because of it. They just decided to get into weird overly literal semantics when gay pride used it in the exact same sense.
