The demi-goddess of our generation said it most succinctly when she (or her handlers) penned the words: “I get the tingle/I wanna mingle/That’s what I want,” in her hit song ‘Radar.’ It’s a concept deeply conditioned in our social imaginations. We all like to think that we have some sort of social intuition for this or that, that we are finely attuned to specific physical, behavioral, and emotional characteristics that cause blips in our own psyches – whether they be radars for finding potential boyfriends, enemies, friends, etc. The most famous of them all (the Rudolph-the-red-nosed-reindeer of the group, if you will), however, is “Gaydar.”
"Pride," to me, is not just about my LGBTQ identity. While the word 'pride' has been powerfully rendered a symbol of our community by the decades of struggles - which are nothing short of heroic - on the parts of our LGBTQ brothers and sisters, I believe that it means more.
