I'll never understand the whole "Gay Pride" thing in this day & age, but it doesn't really hurt anyone so if people want to get together and have them that's fine with me, as long as those same people don't ***** if there's ever a straight pride parade.

I guess the easiest way to explain it is that for decades gays were told they should be ashamed of it. See Che's post about Stonewall. Having had to struggle for the right to be seen as human beings, gays want to celebrate that they are no longer (in most cases) under an oppressive yoke.Originally posted by moominparatrooper
Why are you proud? I'm not in the slightest proud 'bout my sexual orientation. I just am. Can't understand people who take pride in theirs... Like they had no achievements to be proud of otherwise.
I go just to have a good time with friends, as I think most do. The Parade also raises awareness on issues still of vital importance to the gay community still.
Overall, I'd say it's just a way for gays to come together once a year and just have a good time and celebrate something that gives us a sense of community.
Or, it's just an excuse to get lit and laid. Take your pick...

Gay pride parades are not exclusionary of straights, and I'd wager more watchers in many cities are straight rather than gay.
Besides, isn't the straight parade the St. Patrick's Day one?

I'd also love to see scantily-clad straight women marching down 5th Ave.
That's because the gays are all participating or hung over.Gay pride parades are not exclusionary of straights, and I'd wager more watchers in many cities are straight rather than gay.
Not enough nekkidness.Besides, isn't the straight parade the St. Patrick's Day one?

They say that Coke will not dissolve teeth, though people on this BB have said they've done experiments where it did dissolve. One of my friends did the same thing. Another friend was told by his dentist to stop drinking so much cola because he was dissolving the enamel off of his teeth.Originally posted by DinoDoc
Wrong on what points exactly?
The other point Snopes was wrong about was Nancy Oden. Oden was the woman who was seriously hasseled by airport security. She continues to stand by her story, but Snopes reports it as false.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

Coke does do a number on teeth. I speak from experience. My dentist yells at me every time, and I've got to use this Oromin rinse thing nightly to ensure my teeth are calcified."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Most marchers in the parade don't act like perverts, though. The media will always show the most shocking images, but those are a small minority of the participants.Originally posted by Caligastia

A few are outrageous, yes. But there will always be people in any segment of society who do outrageous things. They're attention-seekers, I suppose. Is it all that different from seeing those shirtless guys painting their bodies at sports games?Tutto nel mondo è burlaComment
