Nope, all i am saying is pride parades aren't going to change anyone's lack of tolerance, those who aren't tolerant aren't attending pride parades. The benefit of these events are moreso for the participants - you get a day where you can just be yourself and celebrate that with your peers and people who support you, nothing wrong with that at all.....I just don't think that the purpose should be to change anyones mind, and if it does that is great...
