What do you say as a response (if anything) in Kreyol when someone sneezes. As we all know.. we say "God Bless you!" in English. I believe I heard someone in Haiti say a word that started with the letter "A" but Im not sure if it was Kreyol or Franse??

When someone sneezes,

The French people say:
A tes souhaits!(to people you're casual with) - To your wishes!
A vos souhaits! (to people you're not casual with)- To your wishes!
(Rarely) A tes amours! (to people you're close/intimate with) - To your love!

 Haitians say:
Bondye beni w! - God bless you!
(Rarely) A ta sante! - To your health!

How do you say "happy pride" and how can one discuss some lgbtq topics in creole?

"happy pride" does not translate as an expression in Haitian Creole. But as a phrase, it is best translated as: bònn fyète (pronounced bonn-f-yet-tay).

How one discusses lgbtq issues, in Haitian Creole, will depend on your audience and what you want to say.
