Modern day liberalism boils down to the tolerance of oppression.

In one case, yes, the world would be a better place if we didn't have parades and books about kids with two mommies. At least not in in-your-face mode.

Uhm, where does the in-your-face-ness come from?
Is that an inherent property of said parades or maybe rather a perceptive double standard of the observer?

I mean, why not let them have their parade, and why shouldn't they be just the tiniest bit too excited about it?
Isn't that the essence of parades?

Any parade on account of some local sportive success is more in your face and more implicitly hostile than the average gay pride parade...
So i don't really understand how the strict standard vis a vis in-your-face-ness is justified.

If you don't like a parade, then don't go to the parade?

If you don't like a parade, then don't go to the parade?

This would seem to be a pretty obvious solution.

If you don't like a parade, then don't go to the parade?

That's neither the point nor a solution.
(We are quickly approaching Godwin's "1" if we follow that tangent, btw.)

The point rather is:
If Dave deems the sexuality of the participants, both as a reality and as a theme for the parade, insignificant and inofensive (like allegienace to a sports team, or any other form of regional petty patriotism - to stick with these comparisons), then why is he irritated by a somewhat exuberant character of such a parade?
