	'''Pride''', in the LGBT context, refers to events such as marches, parades, and festivals celebrating LGBT people proclaiming themselves as proud to be lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender, rather than, as in previous generations, being ashamed or attempting to hide it. Pride originates from Gay Pride which was a celebration of same sex orientation and a protest against the laws prejudice against [[homosexuality]]. A measure of the success of this movement was that from the 1990s Pride festivals started up various towns and cities across the UK calling themselves "[[Solent Pride]]","[[Brighton Pride]]" and so on, without needing to spell out in the title that they are gay or LGBT events.
