I think it says a lot that you disagree with liberal philosophy but don't understand it enough to actually apply it in a fictional way. An intelligent voter understands the pros and cons of any issue or philosophy.

True, the purpose of a gay pride parade is to deny feeling abnormal or that homosexuality is creepy and disgusting.

This does not apply to heterosexuals since they are already normal such that homosexuals who wish to further deny their abnormality associate themselves with heterosexuals through the heterosexual institution of marriage.

Of course none of this actually changes anything.

Hey, I like this reasoning. So the purpose of an Open Carry parade is to deny feeling abnormal, creepy and disgusting as well? The scales have fallen from my eyes.

Well then, it follows that most straight people are not threatened by gay people, doesn't it? Because if they did feel threatened, they would have shown up for this parade.

If people felt abnormal, creepy and disgusting for carrying a weapon you would have a point, but that doesn`t seem to be the case.

No one ever jumped off a bridge because someone recorded their interaction with a firearm.

Maybe one day straights will feel comfortable enough to have a pride parade. It's time they come out of hiding.

I know they are what, 98% of the population? They're the next minority that need equal rights.

The organizes were likely too busy rubbing up on whatever few guys participated since anyone needing a parade to declare how straight he is is clearly compensating for...something.
