The abject stupidity of the MAGA hat wearing idiots who voted for DJT knows no bounds.
Being straight isn't "normal" for someone who was born gay. Being gay is "normalcy" to a gay person.
The majority has no need to hold a parade to celebrate their majority rights.
Dragonclunt, you celebrate with the mentally ill at Queer Day parades??? Well bless your little perverted and sick heart!!!!
I celebrate Pride Week with family, friends and neighbours. This is a free country where gays have been marrying for more than 15 years, and gay couples are welcomed into communities and churches throughout the country. I watched friends stay hidden in the closet for fear of their jobs or their housing now able to live their lives freely without fear of being fired, or discriminated against. Rights for gay people have had no impact on my life, but the difference in the lives of my gay friends and family has been like night and day.
Freedom from persecution and abuse should always be celebrated. Being kind to others costs you nothing and gains you everything. You should try it on occasion.
What rights are gays being denied that we need to have a gay parade?
Nothing that's an actual RIGHT, so far as I'm aware. But I will tell you that they DO feel immensely oppressed and put-upon, for some reason, and seem to believe that being as aggressively in-your-face as they can will somehow help.
I sometimes drive for Lyft during their big events here in Phoenix, because it's an easy way to make a lot of extra money . . . if you consider it "easy" to bite your tongue and pretend to be stone deaf. The absolutely insane, asinine conversations I've heard.
