The Trouble with All Those “[Fill in the Blank] Pride” Weeks/Days/Months

Yes. I get that in English “pride” doesn’t simply mean “ice cold rejection of the love of God and neighbor and embrace of the lie of total self-sufficiency that is the sin which made the devil the devil and is the source of all moral evil in the universe”. It also means “loving one’s work, family, tribe, country, etc.” as in, “I’m proud of my daughter.”

Thing is, the people who use the word to describe their parades and so forth do often look at awful lot like they are indulging sin and not celebrating love.
