OK. I'll bite, in what way do you think "current fashionable ideology"
is misleading. How is Gay Pride not just the in vogue ideology that
people can safely signal virtue by supporting. Just as people in the
past signalled virtue by supporting Christianity or indeed signalled
virtue by condemning homosexuals.

How does it betray attitudes of discomfort and fear?

What attitudes of mine do you hope change? My belief that a computer
group should not be compromised by political / moral crusaders? What
minority am I in?

Would you say you were trying to be "inclusive" with these seemingly
groundless insinuations or do you think you are being deliberately
hurtful and exclusive? I know what I think.
