Cambodia Gay Pride Day 2011

LGBT pride or gay pride is the concept that lesbiangaybisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people should be proud of their sexual orientation and gender identity.The movement has three main premises: that people should be proud of their sexual orientation and gender identity, that diversity is a gift, and that sexual orientation and gender identity are inherent and cannot be intentionally altered. The use of the abbreviated gay pride and pride have since become mainstream and shorthand expressions inclusive of all individuals in various LGBT communities.

Advocates of gay pride have used history to point to oppression as well as differing levels of acceptance of homosexuality throughout history.[8] The ancient Greeks did not conceive of sexual orientation as a social identifier, as Western societies have done for the past century
At the turn of the century in Germany there was an early gay rights movement akin to today's Gay Pride movement. Led by Magnus Hirschfeld, this movement sought to educate the public and to bring about the repeal of Paragraph 175, a provision of the German Criminal Code begun on the 15th May, 1871, which made homosexual acts between males a crime.
