This happened earlier in the month, and yes I have some negative comments to make. If this bothers you, go read another thread.
The problem I have is not with the parade itself, it's the manner in which its participants chose to conduct themselves. They walk around virtually in the nude, sometimes literally in the nude, dry humping each other, shouting lewd comments at anyone insane enough to bring their children to the event, and basically demean themselves in the worst way possible.
Here's some photos.
And of course, there's much worse stuff that can't be shown on this "family friendly" forum.
You can't look at that stuff and honestly tell me it's family friendly. Why on Earth would anyone, gay or straight, bring their children to look at such displays like that?
All gays do when they conduct themselves in that manner is make themselves look like a carnival sideshow. They confirm every single negative gay stereotype out there. Now gay marriage is legal in Canada, so it's not like the gay rights movement is morally or intellectually relevant anymore, but displays at events like this do a tremendous disservice to the gay rights movement overall. They trivialize themselves, and rather than making the case that they're normal human beings.
They should be seeking to portray themselves as regular people. I'm all for pride parades and celebration of differences, but this kind of stuff takes it too far and only damages their own cause.
Not that it should have been stopped or broken up. If they want to demean themselves, that's fine. But the police should have handed out tickets for lewd conduct in public or public nudity.
