POLL: How do you feel about PRIDE parades? (Page 2)

[PrettyPeach]

I love them, the reason why is pretty simple, for years gay people have been in the closet afraid to even show who they are to the world, so I think this is perfect. People are showing that they are not afraid to show to the world who they really are. :)

I disapprove because there pointless, if it is all about equality then there would be a pride for everything like just for been stright.
But if everything has a pride then pride becomes meanless and pointless.

So that's why i think there stuiped and will never go near one.

I am ambivalent about Pride Parades. The only reason why I am not fond of them is the same I am not fond of most other parades: parades interfere with traffic patterns and make if difficult or impossible to get to where I want to go easily, quickly, or not at all. If you are driving in Manhattan, the last thing you need is a source of gridlock and traffic jams.

[cykasenpai]

I don't like the political affiliations of pride.

I don't think it's admirable human behavior to want to flaunt your sexuality, nor is it beneficial for society as a whole.

There are dozen of more important question than LGBTQ-rights and all the rest of the stuff they're pushing.

Soo... yeah I disapprove of it. I don't hate it though, nor do I hate the individuals.

[NineBreaker]

Pride parades are examples of self-expression that are protected by the First Amendment of the US Constitution. I don't like parades, and I am not comfortable with openly public display of affection, or overt discussion or celebration of sexuality be it heterosexual or homosexual outside of necessary educational purposes.

I also disapprove of alcohol use of any amount or frequency, and receiving interest on loans, but that's just me.

[unkqty]

whatever folks at such functions opt to do is their business. i'm not going to one, nor am i going to disrupt one or tell folks they're not.
HOWEVER, i refuse to be forced to cater to their every whim and change my system of beliefs based upon their ideas/lifestyles.
i respect them and their space and expect same.

I support gay rights as they are a part of individual rights. But my God, those "parades" are disgustingly awful. Men wearing barely anything, women that look like they haven't shaved in 5 years who aren't wearing barely anything and endless sexualization of everything. I was grabbed by the dick and repeatedly rubbed up on when I went to the one in Charleston. My friend is gay and he lives in downtown Charleston, I used to live with him and a few others, but even he told me to be careful.

While I absolutely support HBTQ people´s right to live the lifestyle of their choice, and their right to not be discriminated against, I think the Pride movement has been hijacked by leftwing activists, pursuing their own agenda and trying to exclude HBTQ people that do not share their views. That´s why I don ´t support Pride.

[savalisk]

All power to them, I just don't care. They can be proud of their sexuality just as much as I (a straight male) can be proud of mine. I just don't care enough to make a big deal of it for a whole week... or month... however long it is nowadays.

By all means, celebrate your sexuality as much as you please. Feel free to tell me all about how much fun you had, I love good conversation. Just don't force it down my throat.

[PsychoKiller]

100% against them. Their only purpose, and the only thing those parades achieve is pushing sick shit down the throats of normal citizens. Especially children. While on the other hand, they achieve absolutely NOTHING for gay people, they just increase the amount of hatred for them. Gay people dont need gay parades, people who wanna spread sick trends do. Those parades should be permanently banned all over the world.

Finally someone intellectual.

[Ayer93]

Let's have a straight parade. Oh that's right... we're biologically normal and will actually continue the human race if we tried reproducing. No point in promoting that, right?

All jokes aside, there's nothing wrong with being gay, just like there's nothing wrong with having a mental illness, but should it be promoted? Definitely not.

[desperatelyhungry]

I don't support them and want nothing to do with them. But I don't find them disgusting and think the idea of having them banned is crazy. Let people have pride for what they wanna have pride for lol

[Smescudi4]

I dont care if you're gay or not I actually have gay brother and had gay friends in the past but, i dont see a point in these parades they leave all the straight people out of it. Make a love parade instead that celebrates everyone now that would be a parade worth supporting.

[KingAra3]

It's not that I support them as much as I coexistence with them but I don't hate them, you have the right to support and attend however I feel that just like all other social political movement type events, you will always find extremist from both sides ruining the mood of the event

[Guanfei]

I disapprove totally. Not because it's for LGBT, which I'm ok with, but I hate those parades themselves.
Look at it, it's full of people acting super sexually, making out, wearing BDSM leather clothes, there are people with dildos all around. And all of that in plain view of kids.
This is unacceptable.

[A-man-22]

I approve of LGBT but pride parades are just silly.

I don't care if you are gay etc you deserve the same right as straights but don't rub it in everyone's faces.

Rainbow flags and parades are not helping LGBT become the norm as the norm doesn't do these.

[opurba]

I think pride is only for those who earned a medal, prize, higher government position or company head or owner or manager. So, i always wish good for them and i hope people never misunderstood them. And give them their priorities.

[Miristheiss]

I think they are stupid. I only think narcissism, ego, self absorbedness. I think less of people who do stuff like that.

[ASmith43]

I voted F, totally disgusted by them. NOT for what they are saying they represent but for what they have become. They have become nothing more than a parody of themselves and have ceased being about pride a LONG time ago..

[LauraNG]

Just imagine the emotional outburst it would cause if Christians dared to make a Christian parade.

And that said it all.

[CaptainLegal]

More better if muslims would like to make a parade imagine that
