I don't know what to tell you other than what I've suggested: Call the police, call the City Council, start a campaign. You talk a lot about wanting to stop people from expressing their sexuality in public, but just complaining about it all on this forum isn't going to change anything.

One bit of advice: Learn to use the "Quote" button. It makes it easier for everyone to know who you're talking to.
Perhaps it's just me, but I find you completely repulsive. Your lack of manners stuns me.

I could really care less. Some normal parades/events are just as bad if not worse.

AUM ... It was YOU who started this thread so if my opinions (and the opinions of others) about the subject bother you so much then don't start threads discussing gay parades if you are not open to diverse viewpoints!

Click this bottom link, which then takes you to the disgusting pics/video, after a couple of content warnings.

****Content warning***** you have a choice to view the whole kit & kaboodle, or a bleary version. You will need brain bleach for the unfiltered version.

I thought we were talking about Gay Pride Parades. These sexual fetish street fairs (like the Dore and Folsom) are not gay pride parades - they're sexual fetish street fairs. Also, they're not "gay" per se. Many of the people who attend (or participate) are heterosexuals who happen to have those sexual fetishes.

I take it you didn't look at the pictures in the links I posted?

Can you point out some "normal" parades/events that are worse than what is shown?

And those heterosexual displays are equally innapropriate in public. These types of events should be held on private property.

Again, I don't know what you're talking about. I find myself to be quite the opposite. Sorry.

Thanks. I think I'm handling it fine. You might want to take your own advice, however.
