I just don't get how guys running around naked with dog collars around their neck, or with a$$less chaps helps, if anything it keeps people away from the Gay Pride parades especially those members of the next generation who are going to need to be even more accepting.
I went to the gay pride parade in Toronto because my girlfriend at the time really wanted to see it, and to be honest some of the more overt acts of sexuallity even made me uncomfortable, and not in the I'm uncomfortable and need to understand this.
More along the lines of why do you have a naked guy wearing leather straps wearing a dog mask crawling around on all fours at your feet kind of uncomfortable?
I think that there is a group of militant gays who's only goal in life is to kind of keep the stereotype alive of a pervese lifestyle because it allows them to keep fighting.

I dunno, I look at the gay pride parade as a way for the gay community to give a big middle finger to all the people who stereotype and make fun of gay people. It's basically a statement saying "You think we're flamboyant and fruity? We'll show you how flamboyant and fruity we can be. And you know what? We dont' give a sh** how you see us."
