Marriage as much as people want to pretend its an institution from religion is something that predates any modern religion and is/has been changed and often was more about property/ownership than anything else.
As for the parade thing, its like has been mentioned before; groups that face discrimination and suffering at the hands of any other group typically protest or hit the streets; much like labor groups, black rights groups, etc..
Give it another 20-50yrs depending on when you live (probably 100yrs if you live in the USA or Saudi Arabia) and you won't see gay pride parades any more than you see straight pride parades.  |
I'm Orthodox, don't why, but I feel I need to share that information.
To answer your question I don't know. Why do bad things happen to good people? I don't know how it is for other people, but marriage to me is a religious institution. I truly believe that. And when I do get married, I'll do whatever it takes to keep my vows ( ie. not cheat, beat my wife...etc.). To me, it's more than paperwork.
For the parade thing, I think they do more harm than they do good, because they can actually harm their gay rights movement. People can get a wrong picture about gay people which I know is what they're not going for.
