Oh gay people are so cool. They can waddle/trot down main street with big banners proclaiming how queer they are while throwing candy to the 12 onlookers cheering them on. I might go to a parade someday just to watch it.

Parades are great fun, especially Gay Pride in San Fran.
Anybody who thinks that outrageous costumes degrade serious issues in human rights must feel that Halloween is about sacrificing children to occult gods. Relax! Stick your penis out, it is supposed to be whimsical.Be the bid!Comment

The two times I have been to Chicago for Gay Pride, I figured the participants that includes the onlookers, numbered around 300,000 people of all sexual orientations.
And for those who are the mature participants in Gay Pride, it's not about being "cool." It's about positive affirmation of a part of their identity to combat the negative pervasiveness of homophobia in our society.A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.Comment

The estimate for viewers at the NYC parade usually runs around 400,000.
Sten: I've never seen anyone sticking out their penis at a parade. The worst incident I saw was a topless woman who was obviously on something (and not an official participant in the parade) march into the street and flash her vagina at the crowd. The cops got her out of there pretty quick.Tutto nel mondo è burlaComment

Sooooo sorry I was mistaken, Faded.

In Toronto, there's a law saying that anyone, of any gender, can go topless in public. So the Parade here is traditionally started off with dozens of topless, breast baring lesbians dressed in leather and riding motorcycles. With two to a bike, the ways they hold on during the turns was..... a sight.Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

Yes, "****s on Bikes" also led off the San Francisco Parade...I guess it's a tradition...____________________________

NYC as well, always the ****s first. Only a few go topless though (and they tend to be the ones who most shouldn't!
)

Serouisly, I would never go to a gay pride parade. Im not gay. I dont want some 30 year gay guy to come rub my back while im watching the parade or eating a hot dog and ask if im seeing anybody.... then I tell him im not gay, he says im still in the closet.
Now time to go find that leperchaun who likes to dance!Comment

Anyone that feels their sexual or political orientation is their defining characteristic needs to go out and get a life. Or stay in and get a life - whatever works.
Why can't they have rallys? Gay pride 'sitting about in the park's. Why do they have to march?
Marches may work for the people involved but for everyone else they're hellish. There are so many that are 'gay and proud' these days. The march itself blocks the road for several blocks in every direction.
I remember about... a month or so ago I was trying to run for the train when I saw a commotion ahead. What was it, I wondered when moving closer. A big float goes by with guys on top dancing around in sailor suits.
Ah....
I considered waiting around for it to pass but then took a look at the length of the thing. We were talking about it stretching for three blocks both ways. At the speed they were going it would have taken at least five minutes for the whole bunch of them to march by so I thought 'screw this' and cut across it, ducking hastily to avoid being decapitated by a big banner proclaiming its holders were 'Out of the closet and loving it'A witty quote proves nothing. - VoltaireComment
