The idea for the song was sparked by a cross-country road trip my husband and I took last summer. We stayed in rural areas, ate sandwiches in our car and kept to ourselves, with one exception, We stopped off in Reading, Pennsylvania to visit our friend Ben, who had recently lost his partner Rich.
这首歌的灵感源于去年夏天我和丈夫的一次越野自驾游。我们住在乡下，在车里吃三明治，过着与世隔绝的生活。除了一次例外，我们在宾夕法尼亚州的雷丁市停留，探望了我们的朋友 Ben, 他最近刚刚失去了他的伴侣 Rich。
Rich and Ben were cornerstones in their local LGBTQ community, working hard to make Reading a loving, welcoming and tight-knit city for all. Upon Rich’s death, the city hosted a rainbow flag raising & memorial service in front of City Hall in his honor.
Rich 和 Ben 是当地 LGBTQ 社区的基石，他们努力将雷丁市打造成一个充满爱心、热情好客、团结互助的城市。 Rich 去世后，雷丁市在市政厅前举行了彩虹旗升旗仪式和追悼会，以纪念他。
Their story inspired me to think about all of the other people who have fought tirelessly to make being gay something to be celebrated. People like Rich and Ben, living and loving quietly but heroically in small cities and towns across the country. The world may never know their names, but that doesn’t make their stories any less important.
他们的故事启发我去思考所有其他为让同性恋成为值得庆祝的事情而不懈奋斗的人们。像 Rich 和 Ben 这样的人，在全国各地的小城镇里默默地生活和相爱，却又充满英雄气概。世界或许永远不会知道他们的名字，但这并不意味着他们的故事就此失去意义。
I hope ‘Pride’ and its music video encourage people in the community to stop and reflect on how we got to where we are today. We owe so much to our forefathers and mothers. We cannot begin to imagine the hardships they endured, and that’s by design. They wouldn’t allow it. They wanted a better world for us, so they created it for us.
我希望这首 Pride 以及 MV 能够鼓励社区里的人们停下来反思，我们是如何走到今天的。我们亏欠先辈们太多。我们无法想象他们承受的艰辛，而这都是他们有意为之的。他们不允许这样的事发生。他们希望我们拥有一个更美好的世界，所以他们为我们创造了它。
It’s important that we pay homage to and respect those that fought for us and continue the fight for the generations to follow. That is Pride.
重要的是，我们要向那些为我们奋斗的人致敬，予以尊重，并为后代继续奋斗。这就是骄傲。
