Yeah, this is a rehash of last year. I haven't changed my views. To say, effectively, "everyone is welcome to come participate and be themselves at this gay rights event, except for this small group of people, who aren't welcome and should hide who they are because we attribute immorality to that particular identity", is perfect satire. You couldn't write it better.
To take an event that generally has a positive, happy atmosphere and implement a measure that is divisive, petty and negative just casts a pall over the whole thing. It's a bad move, and it seems to me that the reaction has been overwhelmingly negative from gay and straight alike.

Well that's just it. If you think the cops treat everyone equally and have no history or current record of abusing minority rights, or simply human rights for that matter, then this would seem like a stupid move.
