It's not their fault.

It's there parents fault for smoking weed.

It's just learning disabilities, etc.

It's the marxists' and Buttock and Moochelle Obamao's fault.

I'd say some of it is counterproductive to making some "regular" people think you're just like them, yes. Rollerblading around inside an oversize condom and spraying people with a super soaker doesn't do much for gay rights. But so what? Not every moment in a gay person's life has to be designed to make others feel more comfortable about them being gay. If they want to have a day where they go a little over the top, why should you give a shit? That's what they want to do, and it's not hurting anyone. Besides, it's not about them changing so that other people accept them; it's about other people accepting them for who they are.

Right?

Plus, where is it listed that being pro-gay rights means you think every gay person is incredible? It just means you think they're the same.

And acceptance is, or should be, the goal.

That is not a good thing for your political strategy, I understand.

Oh I realize you are just being belligerent but hey it's not my mind we're trying to change.

I've played key west a number of times and I've seen a few gay pride parades.

Maybe you really are clue free, but if anyone asked for my opinion ( And they have not) on how to make themselves seem like normal everyday human beings who just have a different view on love I'd suggest that they tone down the outrageous behavior just a tad.

I certainly understand that for some, including you apparently, it's more fun to shock the masses than to make progress.

I think that's a bit adolescent.

You already said all of this. And then I said that "shock" is not the point, nor is making themselves seem like your version of "normal everyday human beings." And then you said the same thing again.

Good times.

are the same ones as in the parade, but with a different job.

Seriously.

I really don't think that guy cares if his outfit shocks or offends you, Steve. Personally, I don't find it shocking or offensive, any more than I do when I go to the beach and see the same thing.

If you'd like gay pride parades to be about acceptance from mainstream people, whoever those people are, that's fine. They can all walk down the street in suits and ties. But the parades are about gay pride, not what you think they should be doing to m

ake you feel better about them. I figured you to be more of a "live and let live" type, someone who would say, "Hey, not my cup of tea, but whatever blows your hair back!" but I guess not.

Got it.

Yeah I am not sure if that is helping anyone out.

Not you dumb ass, the idiot in his underwear at the gay pride parade. ( The first picture, remember?)

unless, of course, that actually was you.....

One might guess that a group that wishes to gain acceptance into the mainstream world might want to show the slightest bit of class.

If their aim is merely to shock and offend it would seem that would set back the cause.

You would know that the gay liberal would be a person in need.

So you'd jump in flood waters to save a dog, but not a liberal or a homosexual right? Let's just be clear.
