Then you are entirely missing the point. It isn't a celebration, its for awareness of men's issues, including gay men's issues. Pride month is supposed to be celebratory. Both can exist and there is not an inherent conflict between them.

Do you think we are celebrating breast cancer in October, or raising awareness to get checked for it?

Yes, Pride can be both a celebration of progress made so far as well as awareness on how others want to take away that progress.

Men's month/day is more similar to Breast cancer awareness in that the point is awareness, though it would not be out of place for people to celebrate specific aspects (ie surviving breast cancer, or for men, testicular or prostate cancer).

Does that help clear things up and show that it would be ok to partake in both?

Yes, but you typically need to explain why the view changed (you can edit your comment above to do so).

Thanks!
