Gag pride parade?

When I was in high school I had a friend who's dad decided he was "gay" or bi-sexual or something like that. Anyway, my friends sister was a lesbian besides his dads "confusion".

To make a long story short I was around all sorts of queers. My friends dad even opened a business in the Hoston Montrose area for one of his "friends" (who robbed him blind). Every one of them was a mess. Their lives in constant turmoil over something. Never did I meet someone like the "gay couple" depicted variously by TV and the media. The two old "partner" types that were just together and like a "normal" couple. And I met 100's of queers.

More often than not I found most of the queers, especially the "gay" men, to be extremely self-loathing but at the same time quite demanding that you recognize their "gayness". Damn demanding some of them. Either they had to be noticed by doing something outraguous or they were just loud.

As best I can tell the Supreme Court just gave them a good bit of the recognition ALL the queers I ever met wanted or demanded. That they be looked at as normal. This won't be good enough for many of them. Unfortunately, some of those are lawyers. There is some real gross stuff on the way....

I led a sheltered life in a small town in Ohio! I have only begun to realize how sheltered. Even my kids for the most part were not confronted with anyone from the gay community until they were in college. If someone was gay in their high schools it never came out.

I wondered if the sterotypes on TV were even close to reality. You have cleared that one up!

That's what I've seen. A desire to shock others. Adding inappropriate sexual comments in simple conversations, doing inappropriate things.

Maybe, if there is a genetic component, it has to do with a personality type that has this need be be noticed at all costs and being gay helps fulfill this?

Who knows. Either way I don't want to lower the value of marriage in this society for them. (No fault divorce has done enough already.)

The men who brought this case to the Supreme Court have their own problems:
