That's my thing, I mean no one remembers the gay parents group walking along. They remember the guy grinding up to the 6-ft dildo while wearing a jockstrap, being sprayed with supersoakers all while tossing rubbers to the 9-year-olds watching there in the crowd with their horrified parents (and there are a ton of kids at the parade).
