The reason is that it has gone from "live and let live" to "celebrate the wackier and more dangerous lifestyle" - from letting people do whatever they wanted in the privacy of their homes to watching icky stuff on the streets

True story - when I was in my twenties I went to amsterdam and a friend (female!) wanted to see the red light district

I went (of course!) and it was disgusting - overly made-up women with bored expressions sitting in displays.

It wasn't sexy - just turned you off.

The same thing I see with pride parades - it just makes you think "these people are really different" - note the "these people" - and that's not acceptance
