    Eh, it’s more that pride is a rejection of the shame we’ve been taught to feel. But then you get into the fact that we aren’t telling straight people to be ashamed, we’re telling bigots that if anyone should be ashamed it’s them

      I feel like that’s what I was trying to say.

      To simplify, to be at pride, you need two things: a pride in who you are and who you love, and an acceptance of others, who they are and who they love.

      In that, the OP in OP’s picture would not be unwelcome, as long as they can accept others for who they are and who they love.
