Pride should stem from good personal decisions or accomplishments given one’s situation and life circumstances. Being born somewhere isn’t a decision nor an accomplishment.

In an ideal world LGBT Pride would not need to exist because all sexual orientations would be treated as absolutelly normal, so one’s sexual orientation, no matter which one, would be as deserving of pride as, for example, one’s eye color, i.e. not at all unless one is some kind of narcissist. LGBT Pride is really just a response to a World that in most places sees minority sexual orientations as “wrong”.
I suppose you could divide that pride into two parts, one deserving of as much pride as one’s land of birth and another really deserving of pride:
Anyways, my point being LGBT Pride as openly celebrated isn’t pride in the common sense of the word, but quite a lot more than that.
