I am definitely not a supporter of unconditional pride or respect.
Just because you exist, you shouldn't be proud, and you shouldn't be respected just like that. Instead of pride, there should be acceptance (primarily of oneself), and instead of respect, banal vizhlivost.
I know why this month, at least one month out of 12 you can CLEARLY and LOUDLY show that you exist. You are not straight, and you should not be subjected to violence of any kind because of this: you should not be kicked out of the house, forced marriage (although this also applies to straight people, damn it), humiliate, desire/seek to punish you; or apply to you (fucking sick asshole it is came up with) "correctional rape" - I feel animal horror from this thing.
As long as everyone lives their own life and does not interfere with the other's life, this is normal. Who cares WHO, if you do not cause discomfort and do not commit violence, and it is not inflicted on you. Anyone can be a shitty person, but this should not be a reason to look for a common sign among shitty people - it is destructive and leads to racism/Nazism/homo/transphobia. Violence, any violence, is disgusting.
I have no problems with anyone, as long as they behave adequately and politely, I also try not to interfere with anyone. I've seen people, even in... shitty places, who haven't been hostile to me. Sometimes it's amazing that someone can treat you like a person, despite the laws or ingrained ignorance. I mean, it's great. Orientation or gender is not a sign by which to judge, personality is what is valuable; what you represent as a person.
I would never single out this month from others, I don't like to single out certain dates at all (there are no weekends for me, and I don't celebrate holidays). So, it could be hypocritical on my part. It could, but no.
I've never been proud of who I am. I'm just me, but I kind of accepted myself that way. Some events in my life have made me seriously doubt whether I have accepted myself, and even now I am sometimes not sure about it. Anyway, sometimes I just regret who I am not only in this sense, but in general.
But. Speaking of pride... I probably have something to be proud of - no, not myself. I was alone, and I was going to be alone all my life, I was sure that this would happen (I used to have (and still have) reasons to think so). However. The last days of December 2022 turned my life upside down.
What could I be proud of? Probably my boyfriend. He is not afraid to be what he is. I like it, I've never met such sincerity, so yes, I'm definitely proud of you, hon. I can also be proud that I have you. It wasn't easy, it required a common effort, so yes, I can be proud of it - even my logical brain is sure of it.
I love you, just be yourself, because that's how I fell in love with you.

Thank you for sharing this artwork. What this means to you is so beautiful.
I like what you said about 'not baseless pride, but self-acceptance'. Being honest and accepting oneself I think is a nice way to live. You are more aware of the things that actually can be done, and more at peace with the things that you cannot change, and just go with the flow. I relate to never feeling particularly proud, but I try my best to be at peace with myself, so that only means being reasonably self-critical, and doesn't mean self-loathing for me.
It touched me so deeply when you are so certain that you found something to be celebrated, even your logical brain is rooting for you, again, thank you for sharing this. *Never expect to get teary eyes while browsing FA but here I go.* :'3
A mutual source of hope and growth, I congrats you on finding love in one of its purest forms within your lover and yourself!

Base...

До чего же тёплая и душевная работа получилась! Мне чрезвычайно нравятся позы, цвет и то как здорово флаги смотрятся в традишке QwQ
Безмерно рада за вас обоих! И да, под каждым словом подписываюсь в вопросе гордости и уважения: я ОЧЕНЬ скептически настроена в вопросе гордости независящими от человека характеристиками - мы не можем выбрать пол, национальность или ориентацию, гордость это скорее про личный выбор, саморазвитие и преодоление препятствий в достижении цели, про умение сохранять человечность вопреки тяжким условиям. А тот же Прайд, вопреки названию, для меня скорее про принятие, не менее важный аспект. Возможность спокойно и открыто говорить в том числе о своих личных привязанностях без страха, что в твоё личное пространство попрут и начнут "учить", как и с кем строить свою жизнь. Ну и возможность увидеть, насколько люди разные, насколько понятие счастья и формы взаимной привязанности зрелых самодостаточных людей могут быть разные (даром, что в моём случае только онлайн)

Благодарю. Флаг заставил попотеть, *смущается* ("*3*)
Всё верно, я понимаю, что подразумевается принятие, но иногда это действительно превращается в гордость по факту рождения. В любом случае, гордиться нужно плодами своего труда, просто это была возможность выразить некоторые мысли.

A beautiful reflection on the subject of self-determination, and also changing your attitude when life teaches you something new!
A beautiful portrait, too! Lovingly and meticulously made, and it captures the sincerity and strength of your feelings so well.
Wishing the two of you a long shared journey, and may none of the obstacles on your path prove too much hard.
As for Pride, I think the meaning behind those celebrations gets lost in translation, somewhat.
It's not the pride of accomplishment in relation to having been born or a certain way,
but the pride in opposition to the centuries of violent persecution that still persists
across the world; it is saying "I'm proud of being who I am", when your family,
your country, your religion condemn you and tell you to be ashamed.
It is the pride of confidence, tenacity and solidarity.
But I will admit that it often feels shallow and irreverent to see well-off queer communities
enjoying their lavish colorful carnival, with the corporate advertisers jumping in
to market their wares to the affluent city dwellers with rainbow stickers,
when there are still places around the world where a person
can be killed on a *suspicion* of being any kind of queer.
It is good to enjoy your life and celebrate that you can walk down the street
in your city, and the cops will protect you from the bigots,
instead of helping the bigots beat you up,
but I understand that to someone who can only dream
of that kind security, festivities like that can come across as insensitive and frivolous.
Thank you for accommodating a different perspective,
while still staying true to your values!
