If one kid that would otherwise be a homophobe or racist doesn't become one because of things like Pride parades, then they're worth the time.
I never suggested they weren't worth the time, I am saying people are just hiding their thoughts because of fear of public shaming. It's still going to be present, the difference will be you have to dig to find the piece of ####.

Public shaming is a terrible thing and a completely unhealthy thing for our society to do.
