LGBT people actually have to overcome a lot to be who they are. The prejudice is real and a lot of people don’t feel fully accepted by society. If you’re straight then you generally just automatically fit in. You didn’t have to overcome anything.
It’s just like people who are super proud to be an American when they were born here. Why? What did you personally do to be American? Nothing. Those people that work their asses off to become citizens of the US? Those people have something to show for that accomplishment. All you had to do was not die.
Also, in general I’m annoyed by people that over-celebrate mediocrity. It’s like the modern-day participation trophy.
