The Flame of Gay Pride Burns Brightly

Unfortunately, it's burning brightly in a parade float:
Anchorage authorities say they're investigating the cause of a fire that destroyed a gay pride float intended for a 4th of July parade.

KTUU-TV reports that witnesses told investigators that moments before the fire began Friday morning they saw someone running from the driveway where the float was being constructed.

Neighbors and the float's builders say they fear a hate crime. Investigators say they're still working. A report that concludes the fire was set would lead to a criminal investigation.

The builders say they'll still improvise a float using the ashes and charred pieces of the original.
I've never understood the whole "gay pride" thing. If you're born gay and had nothing to do with how you turned out, what's there to be proud of? Should we have "Heterosexual Pride" floats too? What about pedophiles? Should they get a pride float?

If you're a golfer and you've developed your skills to become a really good golfer, I could understand have a "Golfer Pride" designation. You worked for it. But just because you showed up on Earth one day with a particular sexual predilection seems an odd thing to be proud of.

I can't help but think the whole "pride" movement was created to help people deal with feelings of inadequacy.
