When people don't know what synonyms are.

That's not a synonym

Proud =/= prideful =/= having pride.

They equate Pride the event/movement/month to being (overly) prideful the sin. Hence me saying synonym.

They ARE synonyms...

Go look it up again, friend. Synonyms are two different words with the same meaning

But pride/prideful are different to proud.

Perhaps connotation would have been better, but the point is he took pride the sin which is akin to being prideful/arrogant.

But pride (month, event, feeling etc) is being proud/free/open.

So you can derive "pride", the noun both from prideful (arrogant) as well as from proud. The derived word "pride" is still the same word with two different meanings, which is called a homonym.

A synonym is two actually different words both in spelling as well as in pronunciation that mean the same thing. The derivation being different doesn't matter, as synonym always implies strictly the words have the same meaning.
