I am no fan of parades, but they are protected under our first amendment as free speech and free assembly
and laws about juvenile delinquency, public indecency and sex in public are completely irrelevant to this discussion
sodomy laws are a place that the government has no right to go. that is my belief
"and laws about juvenile delinquency, public indecency and sex in public are completely irrelevant to this discussion.."
Gay Pride parades consist of public indecency, nudity, live sex acts, and children are witnesses and participants in the parades. So it is germane to the discussion.
And "free speech" didn't mean live sex acts, public nudity and so on until the ACLU teamed up with porn producers a la Larry Flynt. Thanks, ACLU and porn producers!
