If you hear "Pride" and feel the need to immediately ask why straight folks don't get a similar celebration (you do! It's called Halloween!), consider why your first instinct is to ask, "But what about me?"
If you hear "bisexual" and feel the need to immediately talk about how yeah but sometimes it's a phase, consider why your first instinct is to negate someone else's orientation.
If you hear "trans" and feel the need to comment on how it must be trendy if so many people are coming out, consider how the landscape around our discussion of LGBT+ issues has changed so people feel safer being out.
