well i see it like this--i am gay and i dont hide it from no one not even my biggotted as religious assed uncle that sneeks around gets drunk and acts like no one notices--christians are such hypocryts --would i attend a gay pride event--no--because those fuckers think they need to make a statement by making out and almost basically fucking in front of everyone--i thinks thats disgusting and retarded for gay and lesbians alike as well as the heterosexual men and women-- sex doesnt belong in a public place show some fucking respect---for others not to mention for yourself----





now if it was a parade where people walked waving a flag of gay pride then sure but leave the making out and anything sexual in the house

Started with the first one in Houston in the 70's. But don't go much anymore since it is held in one of the hottest months of the year, too many bugs, too humid, and no place to park....

No I would not. I am not a parade type. The last parade I was part of was when I had to serve in the Dutch Air Force and that was forty years ago. I think that my sexual orientation is my private matter. I have nothing against it, but I have my doubts if it contributes much to real mental Gay freedom.

I've been going to pride parades since 1980 in NYC, Chicago, San Francisco, Dallas, Fort Worth, and even Berlin. I think we all get too much into our individual selves too much sometimes, and we forget how important it is to have a community. Pride parades are one of the few events that bring us together as a community, but they only represent the community as well as the people who choose to participate. We might not like everything we see, but it's all part of our community (kind of like the idea that we might not like everyone in our own family, but they're still our family). I don't worry about the image pride parades present to the media. They're not for the media--they're for us to celebrate our history and who we are. And they ought to be fun. What bothers me about the NYC parade is all the corporate floats. The crowd is still fun, but the parade is getting dull.
