Blame that on the media, not the parades. The media chooses the most bizaare
people they can find in the parade to put on the news - furthering negative
attitudes against gays. Just once I'd like the see the news media show the real
participants in gay pride parades - Aids activists/care personnel, local gay
groups, sports groups, health care workers, parents of gays, gays who have
adopted children with health problems, gay teachers, gay police/fireman/etc.,
bands and choruses. Nudity and drag are a minute minority of gay pride
parades.
You say that the parades are about something else. What else?
