Nothing's Shocking.

This gay parade thing is bad for gays, in my opinion.
I believe in sexual freedom, so don't accuse me of being homophobic. I think each person is free to do whatever they choose to do with their sex lives, as long as it's consensual.
But I think paralizing one of the main avenues in an overpopulated city and acting like horny idiots does not help one's image.
I'm heterosexual, but if I wanted to act stupid, get crazy and drunk in public, I could do that as well, and face the consequences. I work in a pretty liberal enviromment, but what if I was a lawyer, a manager, or any other profession that demands seriousness at all times, wouldn't it be bad for me if I had been seen by thousands of people doing things unapproved by society?
If homosexuals want to be treated equally, the effort sounds all wrong. This kind of parade only makes conservative people be more afraid of them, because it shows them how right they are about stereotypes. If it's only a celebration of gray pride, then you don't need to stop an avenue for that; leave that for real protesters.
Dressing up as "normal" people would be a lot more shocking for everyone, I think. Imagine if you turn the TV on, expecting to see drag queens and you see a bunch of people wearing suits and carrying rainbow flags, wouldn't that surprise you and make you think "whoa, are these people really gay?"
Gay people should be allowed to walk the streets without being afraid of kissing or holding hands, just like straight people do, not more or less. There's no need to procclaim any superiority, we should all be the same. Or else the spell turns against you.
