That is how I voted.
But I do have an opinion, which is why I didn't choose it. My opinion is, neither.

I've attended MANY straight pride parades.

Pasadena, CA has one every year. They call it The Rose Parade.

No I would not attend a Straight Pride parade, simply because being straight is nothing to be proud of per se.

That was from a 5 second google search. Go to pictures 12, 20, 42, 45. And those are the tame scenes from the parade. To answer your question, yes I was there. I did see men fondle each other, and in several cases blow each other.

As to Carnival in Salvador, I don't remember seeing anyone fully nude. Nor do I remember seeing sex acts. I remember the lead up where everyone was promising sex on the streets but it just never happened. I saw a lot of men dressed as women, I saw a lot of men force women into kissing (grab by the hair, etc) but that's about. San Francisco was on a whole another level in terms of seeing nudity and sex acts.
Yeah, those pictures don't prove your point, I have seen all that in NYC and Portland during their Pride Parades. Heck, you see a ton of boobs with the Dykes on Bikes part of the parade.

I've never seen people walk around naked anywhere else but San Francisco. It may happen in NYC or Portland. Never been to a gay pride parade there.

I'm all for more street parties so I'd definitely support a straight pride parade. A bisexual pride parade too. That'd be the best.

I think somebody should start planning.

Yep, it happens in other places besides SF. It is a great city, but it isn't special when it comes to public nudity.

I don't like parades. Gay, straight or otherwise.
