This. Even coming out when people are supportive is rough to say nothing of a huge portion of the world hating you for no reason.

Also, pride is more about visibility than actual pride. About showing each other that we aren't alone and that it's ok to be open.

Pride for being LGBT isn't about being proud for being LGBT. It's about being proud of being yourself despite living in a society that usually tells them not to, or even persecutes them for being themselves. That is an action, an act of rebellion and truth in the face of adversity. That is what they're proud of.

Hitler had blue eyes, for what it's worth. He was definitely not tall (173 cm, about average for his place and time) and had brown hair. So he only missed on 2 out of 3 of those criteria.

This photo doesn't really help and to be fair most of the pictures I found of him online are shot in such a way that he could look like a person of anglo-heritage with a heavy tan. Adding more stubble, a baseball cap, all black clothes, and sunglasses in 9/10 pictures can do that.

Here is a picture of him in normal lighting. Also his name, Tarrio, comes mostly from the Spanish Peninsula and he claims to be afro-cuban.
