I had the unfortunate timing 30 years ago to take my family on a tour of New York City the day of the Gay Pride Parade. I lived in New Jersey and had no idea what a Gay Pride Parade was. It was like a costume party times two, with men dressed up as women, men wearing nothing but tight short leather shorts, men with leashes on, non stop public display of affection/grouping/touching. I thought I was in a different country. That was 30 yrs ago, I can’t even imagine what they do today....

I really don't care what people do in private, but I just don't get the 'Gay Pride' thing. You're 'proud' because you insert your erect penis in another man's rectum for pleasure? That's really something to be 'proud' about? It sounds equally silly for a heterosexual man to claim 'pride' because he inserts his erect penis into a woman's vagina for pleasure.

Gimme a break - if being homosexual floats your boat, fine - knock yourself out. But spare me the 'pride', please.
