thousands take part in Gay Pride

How can you expect acceptance from society when you're parading something you know they're uncomfortable with - all over the city?

It's a bad idea, through and through. Homosexuality's gained enough publicity over the years, now people should just live their lives as they always do. There's nothing to shout about anymore. It's just a different path of life.

well from experience i dont feel uncomfortable with gays in the country as some of my friends are also.

its just a personal opinion.

I can't remember who said it, but someone described it as a protest. I'd liken it more to a parade. Joyous flaunting rather than wanting change. Like a gala parade.

If you want a straight parade you can go an organise one. Adam and Eve would've been black and their descendants eventually would turn out a few homosexuals.

are you kidding me? homophobia still exists, love. for you to say that is absolutely ********. how is it attention seeking? i suppose black history is attention seeking too? and all the debates on war? exactly, they're all world wide issues. it's not attention seeking, it's proving a point.

first off don't patronise me with "love" :rolleyes:

it is a point which doesnt need to be proved, yes of course there are homophobic people around but generally in society it is accepted now.

it is NOT a huge issue anymore- its part of our culture today & people are used to the idea now hence why there are gay marriages and suchlike. there is no need to fix something which in my opinion overall isn't broken anymore.

The way you said that is very insulting. "made no contact" "left immediatley" What incase you caught something? idiot.

They get to celebrate by voting

Well that would mean the homosexual people get to celebrate by doing a perosn on the same sex?

And ontop of that you complain about insults and getting funny looks well surley your going to get it at the gay parade?

[Virgin Mary]

It isn't normal... if it was normal we would be hemaphrodites or intersexual. But that doesn't mean it's wrong.
