[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pride events can be overtly sexual.[/quote]

So are movies, TV, and life. You mean seeing homosexuality.

I know, terrifying to see gay people kissing. Your child will be scared for life. [/quote]

Actually my BIL is gay and finds these events diminish the community and promote stereotypes that are not accurate. Most gay people are not marching in leather whips or promoting their sex life everywhere. Most gay people want to be accepted as the same as everyone else and this stuff promotes fringe elements. Gay people are everywhere and people don’t know it because most they just live life.[/quote]

I agree. It takes the stereotypes and goes over the top. I heard a gay man say that since gay people were once seen as perverts and deviants, the pride parade is their opportunity to reclaim perverts and deviants - hence the flamboyance, the BDSM aspects, the nudity, the overt sexual aspects. Whatever the cause, I don't think it is a place for kids and not the right idea about what sexual orientation really means. [/quote]

If you had everyone dress in their normal clothing and not be flamboyant it wouldnt be much of a parade, just a bunch of parents pushing strollers.[/quote]
