Properly identified, never confused about who I am.
Refined to societies standards no more, definition of grace and glam.
Individually fantastic, and unique, as all part of life's plan.
Determined to be me, no matter the opinions of them.
Exceptionally flamboyant in every way, not your average Stan.
Pride is knowing that I can not be beat. No matter how nasty your words may be.Pride in myself, that when I walk down the street, hateful stares won't break my stride. Unmistakably, Unbrokenly, and Unstoppably me for all the world to see. This is what it means to have Pride. And there will be some who will tell you that what you do is a Sin, we're wrong and we'll never win. Well honey, come a little closer then. Whisper it in my ear and tell me again. Rest assured when your done spewing your hate, and your breath has gone to waste. I'll do a little twirl, middle finger in the air, blow you a kiss and wink in your face.

This is what it's means to have Pride, and to know who I am.
