Hey thanks
I'd love to, but unfortunately the reason some ignoramus like you are still alive is because it's illegal to kill them
So, for now you're safe in your things-are-too-good-for-the-gays little world

But in reality, people should not have to say "I have gay pride" or "I'm proud of being gay" because it's not something people should be proud of. Not because it's a bad or dirty word or idea, but because we should have already accepted and moved on that homosexuals do exist and it's not a bad thing.

I'm actually of the same view with you; it's an orientation and nothing to be 'proud' about. But unfortunately the world hasn't been taking kindly to the gays, so much so that gay 'pride' should exist. I'd love to live in a world where all orientations are equally accepted, thereby making no reason for pride of either of them, but until then I think any message relaying that some-things-are-too-good-for-the-gays would add to gay opposition, if not oppression.
And I think it's now clear how harmful that person's view is. S/he's "not against gay", but some things are just too good for them. That's like saying s/he's against slavery, but freedom is too much for the slaves
