Nope. I’m not proud of any of the above. The only thing I’m proud of is my sexuality. That’s right. I’m a proud heterosexual male. I love coochie. And Mrs. Groovy is a proud heterosexual female. She loves winkie. In fact, Mrs. Groovy and I are so proud of our heterosexuality, we’re going to the nearby elementary school next week and make out in front of a bunch of kids. I mean, c’mon. Nothing says pride more than subjecting innocent young kids to your sexual peccadillos. It’s all the rage.
Final Thoughts
I don’t get gay pride. What’s there to be proud of? Being gay is as much an accomplishment as being straight—which is to say it isn’t an accomplishment at all. Being gay is just an immutable trait some people are born with. It shouldn’t evoke pride or shame. But what say you? Is your sexuality something to be proud of? Or should you only be proud of doing something that is genuinely hard to do—something that requires a lot of talent and discipline? Let me know what you think when you get a chance. Peace.
