Tbf, as a bi person myself, I don't get why anyone should be proud of their sexuality. You didn't choose it, it's not something you did, what is there to be proud of? Obviously we should accept LGBT+ people, but no need to be proud, or have a whole month to commemorate it.

Pride parade and days have to be understood in a sociohistorical perspective. Gays , or afro americans, or women, or trans have been seen as less than human and treated socialy and legally as less than white adult men. It might be normalized and accepted today in California or Toronto, but this statu quo is really weak and only in appearance. Many still just "tolerate" minorities. We still have to fight for acceptation and being seen as real humans and also fight for an international presence, and also show our support for oppressed people around the world. I also had your mentality, but when you learn about history and actual oppression, you understand that the fight is not over.
