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.
This, plus the fact that these 'parades' seem little more than giant glorifications of 'free' sex, which I am against in all forms, hetero or homo.
