Heterosexuals display lewd sexuality all the time. On television, in movies, music videos, at the bar, in my bedroom (j/k)...
Seriously though, heterosexuals are free to act overtly sexual practically any time they want too. That is probably why something like a hetero version of the Gay Pride Parade would be silly. Homosexuals often have to hide their sexual expression, or tone it down because of the negative views towards it, and the real possibility of physical harm from haters.
The Gay Pride Parade is an expression of pent up sexuality and a way for them to try and desensitize the public to their sexuality. Maybe one day, if the desensitizing works, we will see "Chistina Aquilera-esque" videos on prime time televsion, but with gay performers. At that time, "Gay Pride" will likely become unnecessary.
If you don't like, don't watch. That's what I've always done when I see something offensive or insulting.

I agree. While some may not like the in-your-face approach of the gay parade, does anyone feel there is some sort of double standard? It seems we can celebrate heterosexuality (as it is accepted on television, and other forms of media) but not homosexuality. I dunno, just wondering.
