Curious logic. 'Murder is so frequent where I live so its not a big deal'.

Doubt that the message you meant to imply but it can be interpreted that way. Wouldn't you rather less, maybe no, people got shot where you live, rather than it being a fact of life in your city?

Yeah maybe the people of Chicago should start marching for a better and safer city. When it becomes accepted it becomes normal and usually gets worse. 

I think that homophobia in PR isn't as bad compared to the others Latin America countries but it's quite bad compared to the USA or Europe, I think.  

It sits unwell with me if people are proud of things they had literally no input over. Being proud of your skin color is stupid, being proud of your heritage is stupid, being proud that you breathe air is stupid, being proud of who you like to fuck is stupid, being proud of which country you were born in is stupid. Pride should be applied on personal accomplishments and not things you had literally nothing to do with.

Undeserved pride leads to splitting rather than unification. It leads to oppression and hysteria. Which makes it extra ironic that persecuted minorities are so big on "pride".

In this ranking (for travel) Puerto Rico scores slightly better than the US, though it does say that they hava a higher murder rate.

Well that's where you are wrong. People do have inputs over their skin colour. There is a worrying thrend where an increasing number of black or brown skinned people are trying to make their skin whiter and where white skinned people are trying to make their skin darker. I've always maintained everyone should be proud of how they are born.

Btw there's a reason why so many are proud to be gay or black or Irish. The common denominator is these 3 class of people also suffered hundreds of years of hurt at the hand of their oppressors. Does it annoy you these groups are proud? Well then tough shit because the fault lies with the oppressors. 

Consider me an ignorant fuck, but I thought Latin America was basically gay heaven. I had no idea homophobia was a problem there.

Homophobia is a problem everywhere sadly, just to different extents.
