parade is a gay concept I guess just like marriage is a heterosexual concept.

[thatgaybloke]

@G41MCombo and bigotry is a stupid concept.

[G41MCombo]

@thatgaybloke bigotry is a gay word which can be thrown at almost anyone. Its a word behind which the entire gay community hides.

[thatgaybloke]

@G41MCombo Pride means we don't have to hide behind anything.

[thatgaybloke]

Get over yourself.

When you have walked down the street and been verbally or physically abused for being heterosexual, when you have been disowned by your family for being heterosexual, when you have been fired from your job for being heterosexual, when you have your children taken away from you because you are heterosexual then maybe, just maybe you'll understand what it's like to be on the receiving end of sexual bigotry.

And thats the problem! If you are proud to be straight suddenly you are a bad person. I am proud to be straight, dosn't mean I am a nazi.

All gay people should support the hell out of this idea. Imagine all the straight people being in one part of town while we get to enjoy ourselves in the rest of the town. I wish that straights would get their shit together and have one of these every weekend. The absence of straights (narrow-minded ones) from our lives each weekend would be the biggest gift they could give.

@thatgaybloke really are you really proud of who you are? and why? Along with pride comes respect, unfortunately that is something that the gay community never gets from the society. So whats the use of pride when majority of the population does not respect you for who you are. A majority of the population still look at the pride rallies as freak shows. Do they respect you or your lifestyle I doubt it.

@thatgaybloke Fair enough. That is something we can both agree on. Again, my apologies if I came across as abrasive in my previous posts.

@Evalaena @Evalaena I was poking fun at bigots, not at straight people. You do get some gay people who are bigoted about heterosexuals - I wouldn't like to think I am one of them. One of the things I find very disappointing is when I hear gay people being racist, or gay men being sexist. I have this naive expectation that people who have been victims of bigotry should be more sympathetic to other people who've been oppressed. Doesn't always seem to work out that way. Human nature.
