I have a friend who's gay but doesn't really like the whole pride culture thing. He was complaining about it to me, and basically saying that he thought it was really cringe and just aggravated the reactionaries. I broke it down for him that, at least imo, rights aren't something that's guaranteed. The long history of civil rights struggles shows again and again that you must always be willing to assert your rights, because if you don't, the reactionaries are happy to take them from you.
