Im against being gay being a crime as it is still in many countries however it doesnt seem these gay pride marches are being directed that way.My respect goes to people like peter tatchell because he actually confronts the people who a really effected by homophobia rather than the easy masturbation that takes place.

That's fairly significant for a small state like Utah. | liar. there's no gay people in Utah. | |

Haha. The sidebar ad says "gay chubby dating. 100% free."
The picture's funny.

Could you maybe tell me why people are 'proud Americans'? What are Americans so proud of? An accident of birth? | |

If gays tried to go by way of referendum for their rights to marry and the state majority said yes, I'd say more power to 'em. However, when they prance around in tasteless clothing to make a spectacle of themselves, I find less enthusiasm in their cause.
Can I hold a "straight white male" pride parade? Equal rights, after all...
I'd support people who are "real" people that happen to be gay, but I'll fight hard against people whose sole meaning of self-distinction is that they're gay. |
YES! You can have any kind of parade you want if you get proper permits. I mean they allow the KKK to march for **** sake! So do not hand me this you cannot have some lame white mans parade cause you can. | |

The First Amendment is not discriminatory against gays, white supremacists, or any other interest group. I was speaking about the social aspects of acceptance.
However, if I host a white pride parade, I'm prejudiced. Why are gays able to hold such parades with social impunity?
