the gay pride parade here in New Haven is so family-friendly it's boring.
Only the parades in the biggest cities (New York, San Fran, Atlanta, Chicago, etc) has those displays.

Legalized same-sex marriage almost certainly benefits those same-sex couples who choose to marry, as well as the children being raised in those homes. - David Blankenhorn is president of the New York-based Institute for American Values and the author of "The Future of Marriage." |
