I actually think they create division. They perpetuate and "us and them" mentality.
I mean, how would the homosexual community feel if there was a "straight pride" festival, where married couples flaunted their babies or whatever?

Or imagine if there was a "polygamy day". Or an adultery day? Or a celibacy day? Having a day dedicated to celebrating whatever intimate actions one does with someone they love is all a little ludicrous to me.

I mean, if people are not to be defined by their sexual preferences, it's up to people to stop defining THEMSELVES by their sexual preferences, and just be "human".

But I understand the historical context and why the situation developed. It's just that times have changed.
