I think this is my problem with it. Alot of these events tend to be meat-markets for gay people to hook up. The whole activist approach that was mentioned here is almost missing. I think somewhere along the line something was diluted and almost eradicated from these events, to the point where they are just a display of sex. But you see, I feel the same way about straight events if the same thing goes on. There are clubs I could go to that is just a place for men to hook up with women, and you have the most "primitive" kind of people visiting these clubs. There are parades/events that are just a mishmash of beer + sex with total strangers, who are mostly straight, but it still would turn me off either way and would serve to deter me from ever going.
