I HATE gay pride !!!

I personally feel gay pride as lost its sense of value towards the gay community and they are including transgendered and bisexuals and god knows what they will add down the road.

I am a firm believer it is a parade for the Gay community hence that is why it is called gay pride....

Well be careful as if you didn't have the parade at all, you would have a very difficult time communicating awareness.

If you don't like the Pride parade, don't go to it. Ignore it.
For those who want to participate, it's their event. Leave them be.

As I said in another thread, there's something between being in the closet and being a drag queen. In this case, there's something between having no parades and having the parades be burning man lite with naked men riding dildo-tricycles past a playground. It is possible some of these events have swung too far in one direction for many people.

I suppose my interest in the topic stems from a close openly gay friend of mine saying he thought it was nice to see gay activism but that he wasn't sure the amount of nudity and flamboyance was actually going to help the gay cause and therefore he doesn't intend to go to any more of them. But this is the type of guy you want at your events, and if this behavior is chasing people like him off, it may be time to tone it down a bit.

I don't think that means what you think it means.

Ugh i typed a long response to this thread but before clicking the Post button, i just realized that some people are just stubborn and close minded. this parade is beyond just cheap thrill, it actually means a lot to me, and its just sad that youd be ashamed of it and overlook its true purpose.

I understand that SOME of its portion pushes the boundaries a bit too far but there is no need to see this in black and white.

I understand where the Op is coming from. I'm not sure prancing down the street painted and prissy is the way to promote our well being - at least it's not mine. I don't dress in drag. I don't dance in the street in my skivvies, etc. I go to work, worry about finances, try to have a valid relationship etc. I think more than half of us are the same and feel somewhat embarrassed by the pride public display of debauchery.

Moreover, I think it's a PR game bringing bucks for the promoters and sponsors. It's become a commercialized event world-wide. I don't need a promoter or event to tell me to take pride in myself. I am - everyday. I'm out and I'm proud. Prancing through the streets in a t-shirt that's one size too small is degrading and promotes a demeaning lifestyle.

No one has told you to do anything, in fact quite the opposite, the most anyone has said is fine you don't like Pride it's not for you, don't attend.

What some have asked you is why you feel the need to hate on other people for doing something they do want to do.

You're the one who started this whole thread with an attack, and you seem to be the one not really reading what anyone is posting.


I think you're coming off hysterical at this point, which only confirms me in my belief that you really just need to chill the fuck out, and get on with your life and do something you enjoy and stop hating other people for doing something they enjoy.

Awareness of what? I'm pretty sure most folks know that there are gay people around.

There's lots of gay-related stuff in the media these days.

i'm not attacking, just trying to help you see a way to bring your point of view into a more pro-active stance.
for the record i do not see myself living in a gay world where homosexuality is not the be all and end all of my life. being gay is part of who i am and it does not define me.
and with that, i wish you well.

as i said ... when gay people feel their gay world criticized they start attacking ... btw, thanks for telling me that i am not happy with my life, that i am not laid-back etc. ... thank you so much for helping me findind this out

and now it's time to stop writing in this thread
it is so senseless talking about that with people who love the gay pride and whose homosexuality is the most important thing in their life ...

Uggh! Celebrating diversity is the same as long as everyone's the same, I guess.

My current icon is from last year's Stonewall Parade here in Wilton Manors. I haven't culled through Google Images to find one I like enough to post this year, but this is one a friend sent me, and it's not exactly hideous.

Also: chaps by definition are assless; it's like saying "a bra with cups".

When did the march for equal rights turn into a parade of freaks, fruits and nuts and more importantly why? Standing up for your right to live your life as you see fit without fear of reprisals is empowering. Walking down the street with fairy wings and your dick out just fans the flames of prejudice and stereotypes. If Gay Prides are to be taken seriously and be relevant then the circus outfits should be banned and people marching should wear the clothes they go to work in everyday. Showing that gays are an integral and useful part of society. Save the dressing up/nudity for a party afterwards.

Did you miss the bit where I mentioned I haven't been to Pride in years, over a decade in fact.... or are you just not bothering to read anything that doesn't confirm you in your nasty personal prejudices?

believe it or not, gay folk don't sign a contract promising to be a shining example of assimilation possibilities. people who hold on to hate will use any reason to hold on to their prejudice. the actions of one individual mean pretty much fuck all.

the 8 foot tall drag-queen butterfly isn't meant to speak for the quite bank manager in Delaware. that 8 foot tall drag-queen is speaking to the 14 year old kid in Missouri questioning his inner butterfly.

if you feel your interests are not represented by your local parade, get your ass on a float and represent. i am sure there is plenty of room for self-hating apologist queers.

pride isn't just the parade. is all about community. i have never been to a pride event without a family section. heaps of happy homos and their kids, not a penis or bare titteh in site. well, the breast feeding lesbians.. but those are on the job tittehs, so those boobehs get a pass.

all those hang wringing "what will people think" queers... "those people" think you are an abomination. doesn't matter how much you look just like them.

eta: to the haters... if you judge all of the queer community by pride. ya do so at the cost of dismissing the millions of queers living their lives everyday. working hard. raising families. fretting and hoping just let anybody else.

in regular ML style.. *ahem* Op, please use this thread as opportunity to shut the fuck up. y'll be glad you did, hater-mcfuckwad.

Actually, no. "Assless chaps" is referring to the wearing of chaps without pants underneath to make a fashion statement. Thus the "assless".

That's why "assless chaps" is funnier than just "chaps". It conjures an image of someone wearing just chaps with nothing underneath.

A cowboy wearing chaps over his jeans isn't in "assless chaps". And had I said just "chaps", the image could have been of a dude walking down the street with jeans on with chaps over them, which was not what I was trying to convey.

I don't appreciate the implication that just because I'm straight I wouldn't know a thing or two about chaps, assless or otherwise.

If you missed the sarcasm, read it again, then read my sig.

I wonder if the other folks at the straight pride parade think I'm a self-hating prude when I don't go around supporting the other straights waving their dongs around blasting every woman they see with faux-bukkake cool whip?


Lol straight pride parade.

I don't think that means what you think it means.
