540 Answers
How cool is this guy ...
http://
Every year, he takes part in the Pride Parade ... on his mobility scooter !!
He carries a banner saying " I'm the oldest gay in the village".
In the past, he has been given a criminal conviction for being gay. This weekend, he married his BF, to coincide with Pride Weekend.
That's the way to go when you're in your 90s!

/// Its called freedom of speech AOG, and it isn't harming anyone. ///
No one is saying it does, even though I wouldn't have described it as 'freedom of speech'.
What a large percentage of people would say, if they had the courage of their convictions, is WHY??????????
/// Attendance at Pride marches isn't compulsory....if you don't want your sensitive nature to be offended, look the other way ! ///
Once again no one said it was compulsory, one may not attend or even look, but that doesn't stop the Gay Lobby constantly pushing their agenda which in turn the media repeat, which in turn reaches social media sites such as this.
People should be allowed to voice their opinions, without others criticising them for being bigoted or homophobic.
Yes I know no one on this site has yet done that so far, but that doesn't mean that they haven't in the past.

WR, there are some statistics here (for the USA)

"44 percent of straight men report having anal sex at least once in their lives, and 36 percent of straight women do too."

Svejk - //Don't care what people do with/to each other in private. (as long as no-one gets hurt) But why is homosexuality seen as a 'badge of honour' nowadays. Cant they just, quietly, get on with their lives like the rest of us do. //
I don't think overt proclamations of homosexuality are a 'badge of honour', but I do think they are a badge of pride.
I am fortunate that I live in a tolerant society, I am heterosexual, and I am white.
But if none of those things were in place - if I had grown up in, and to a lesser extent still live in, a society that has large amounts of intolerance towards me for being what I am, then, given an opportunity, I might feel it appropriate to join with like-minded people and confirm that I have nothing to be ashamed of, and I am absolutely not ashamed to be who I am.
It's about balance. If a section of the community is made to feel like a minority, and is castigated and criticised and ostracised for its lifestyle, then its natural reaction is to react with exaggerated pride and positivity - to make an extra point about being what they are, that society is against.
That, essentially is what Gay Pride marches and rallies are all about. Yes, the vast majority of gay people go about their lives without making (literally!) a song and dance about their orientation, but what's wrong, once or twice a year, with kicking up your heels and having a party to celebrate your difference?
It has to be a nice opportunity to enjoy a strength-in-numbers celebration, when you spend the other 363 days of the year living with casual, and often overt homophobia that, although it is hundreds of times less than it was in previous generation, is still alive and ill.

"Just look at me, I am Gay" "We are all Gay" and we are marching down the street, banners waving, "come and join us come and join us"
Good enough agenda for you.
Just do what you want, but don't be surprised or disgusted if some 'straight' people don't get sick to the back teeth of you constantly going on and on about your sexuality, and how pride you are about it.

We cross-posted, but I respectfully point out my response to Svejk, which covers the points you have raised.
