CMV: I don't think things like sexuality, ethnicity or nationality should be a source of pride because they are involuntary, not an achievement.

You don't things like your sexuality, ethnicity and nationality, so they are not an achievement and therefore nothing to be proud of.

I don't necessarily disagree with events like Gay Pride, because part of the reason it exists is because it is a symbol of overcoming years of homosexuality being illegal or considered morally reprehensible, but I strongly disagree with the mindset of being proud of your sexuality, because it suggests that it is superior to other sexualities, or that it is an achievement and neither of those things are true.

The same applies to being proud of your nationality because if you come from a country with a history of being technologically or politically advanced, it means you are vicariously proud of the achievements of other people. 

It would be like saying you're proud of your street because a doctor who has saved countless lives lives there.


EDIT: I do understand people being satisfied with their country of residence and appreciating the good things that come with living there, but that shouldn't equate to pride, and the same goes for sexuality.

I think this is a semantics thing. When people talk of being proud to be gay, the essentially mean they are not ashamed, but phrased in an even more positive light. Saying "im not ashamed" acknowledges that in some people's view there might be something to be ashamed of. Saying "im proud" removes that. It doesn't necessarily mean they consider it an achievement.
