I'll take your word on that since I have never actually seen such a parade, but
media portrayals of them.

Well, I was referring to the nudity and drag aspects. That to me is merely carnal
expression promoting promiscuous and pernicious behavior that has no place in
public, whether it be a gay parade or Mardi Gras. They are IMO more destructive to
the gay cause than gay bashers who, in their stupidity such as in Montana,
actually IMO advance the gay cause by highlighting the insanity of such intolerant
behavior.
