Pride (2014)

The film constructs its entire narrative around a group of lesbian and gay activists as heroic protagonists whose sexual identity is presented as a source of virtue and solidarity. The strategy is emotional: the script uses the noble cause of the miners as a vehicle to validate without nuance homosexuality as a positive and normative identity. The work does not merely show people with compassion — it actively celebrates their lifestyle and presents the acceptance of their sexual orientation as synonymous with social justice and moral progress. The treatment is skillful: whoever questions the normalization is equated with Thatcher's injustice towards the miners. The film eliminates all alternative perspectives and crowns LGBT visibility as the true triumph of the story. Being based on real events does not change that the work functions as propaganda: it uses the viewer's emotion to lower their guard and accept as normal and heroic something that contradicts the natural order of human sexuality. Not recommended for families nor for young people without developed discernment.
