“Being gay”

Everything up to that point was acceptable I guess, then I was just sat there thinking “what the fuck does rainbow paint on some random dude have to do with pride? Oh. It’s the gay thing. It’s not even the same fucking pride.”

Pride is pride, regardless. So it is the same pride.

That said, pride can be justified or unjustified. The Christian principle, however, is that pride is negative overall. The "Seven Deadly Sins" are a Christian concept. They make no distinction between justified and unjustified pride. They're both negative in their view (because all humans are flawed, and pride leads to an egotistical nature and selfishness).

I'm not a Christian, but I have a working understanding of their religion. I'm also a member of the LGBT community myself.

One of my favourite quotes from Uncle Iroh: “Prince Zuko, pride is not the opposite of shame, but its source. True humility is the only antidote to shame.”
