As for the pride stuff, I like to see it the way Dan Savage put it - that it was once used as an antidote against society's stigma of shame, similarily to the women's rights movement's "Equality now!" and the Civil Rights movement's "Black Power", only that the "You're gay - BE PROUD!" is rather overdone these days.
And it gets way too much into some people's heads, like evidenced here.
