A few years ago I had the privilege of attending Pride in Chicago. Over 750000 in attendance to celebrate their sexual orientation and recent progress made in equality.
I Remember seeing a float with 100+ same sex couples running through the streets holding hands with their partners and showing papers for domestic partnership in hand that was very nice to see.
For the most part it was too sexualized. Most of the floats displayed practically naked men jumping and gyrating to this irritating house music that showed a very stereo typical image of gay people. We won't touch on the clothing that was worn by the spectators. It was like a drunken lets get wild fest. People also had their children out there watching the mess.
I Personally will never attend another Pride event. I think who I sleep with is a personal choice. Pride is something that you have in what you accomplish not in your sexual orientation.
I really don't care for the Pride parades anymore, although I did when i was younger. I've never appreciated the vulgar displays that you mention. The "dyykes on bikes" are the worst since they rev their harleys and bust my eardrums every time a parade starts. Getting old, I reckon.
Disgusting and should be banned. They mostly parade around half-naked and go too far with the heavy petting.
I think all pride parades should be banned.
I don't want to hear how you are proud of your sexual acts. It's as rude as people who loudly make a scene about the opposite sex's body. I love women but I don't sound off to the world in the public square on how I am proud to boink them.
They want to be proud but they can't even behave in the first place.
Yeah they want to rub it in peoples faces because they were neglected by society over SEXUAL ACTS.
Really? I feel sorry for blacks and understand their crying about the past and present. Race is a state of being. A black man can't even pretend to be white and get away with it.
The LGBT community is based on ACTIONS.
Don't put your hand into the cookie jar if you don't want to get in trouble for it.
There are many festivals where people get drunk and go wild.
Even Mardi Gras where people actually do get naked to irritating music.
Yet it seems only wrong if people are gay and doing the same thing. It's plain and simple bigotry, and honestly hypocrisy, that it is okay to have drunken wild parties as long as the people who are doing it aren't homosexual. For shame.
Actually tons and tons of people only go to Mardi Gras once, or stay away in the first place, because of all the shennanigans.
Nice false outrage you worked up in your mind though.
Typical leftie, living in make-believe world where everyone that doesn't think like Rachale madcow is a bigot.
They are far too sexualized. I attended one with a good friend of mine and was disappointed by all of the suggestive and inappropriate sexual behavior going on. It should be more focused on gay charities, gay advocacy groups, gay clubs that stand for something admirable, and so on. Gay men parading around dry humping does nothing but enforce stereotypes they already face in many heterosexual's eyes.
