Well... I didn't mean that as an offense.
Personally, I'm against such parades for a simple reason: It leads to discrimination.
Humans are already mean by nature. They need labels and they need to put other down in order to feel well. With all the stereotyping, rivality and racism around, I think we don't need any more reasons to increase those.
In a concept of equality, I don't agree with a "Gay Pride" anymore than I would agree with a "Straight Pride", simply because it's labelling yourself. Be proud of who you are, not what you are, because you're ultimately a human being. In a society with no racism or discrimination, such things like Gay Pride would have no reason to exist. By doing that, you're playing according to the rules that were created against you.
