I'm one of the most conservative people I've ever met in my entire life. 1 sexual partner in my life that I've been married to 1 for 10 years (mid 30s). My idea of partying is staying out till 8pm. Worked my butt off to make a lot of money and saving a ton so I can retire independently wealthy before I'm 50. Tried pot twice when I was 20 and hated it. Don't smoke cigarettes. About my only real vice is I like a good Bourbon.
One of the worst moments of my life was watching a gay pride parade in Paris. I had seen them before and was kind of used to it; it was the eyes of the Islamic shopkeepers on St. Germain Blvd. that caught my attention in a most horrific way. You cannot disguise hate or retribution.
That's what those parades you know nothing about are doing. Take it to the bank.
