If Gay People Want Acceptance
Look, I know in some venues straight people behave in provocative ways too. Mardi Gras is a good example; however, I will say that most hardcore Mardi Gras celebrators are just young people having fun and/or society's scum.

Why does EVERY gay pride event have to have shit like this [in the pic]? Why can't you leave that in the gay community? Is this supposed to make people more sympathetic to gay issues? Knock off the shit!

I guess the idea is that it wouldn't be much of a gay pride parade if they conform to social norms.

I agree, this doesn't do us a lot of good in the public eye.

Unfortunately, just like in other segments of society, not everyone acts in their best interests. Some people confuse being noisy with being heard.

My hope is that people will learn the difference as they mature.

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.

In fact, our parade (and most OTHER cities' parades) is so ordinary, our local newspaper digs up outrageous photos like the one you dug up and use THEM in the articles about our local pride days.

That being said, Tristan, your first battle ought to be then to confront the media, as they are evidently falsifying the image you and your company wish to project.
