Surprisenumber 3: there are people, some of whom are on this forum, who apparently do not understand that their lives are not affected by the LGBQT community, unless they wish it to be. So, what are they afraid of? That it's contagious?
And BTW, what exactly is a normal world? Living with a fear of a Russian missile landing on your house? Not knowing where your next meal is coming from because you've been living in a refugee camp for 10 years.
Having to walk 3 miles for a bucket of fresh water?

Good questions all. I have no "gay" family members. I do have a few 'gay" friends. They keep their sexual orientation to themselves, as I do! They don't parade around like a bunch of fools trying to convince folks that they are "normal' and the rest of us are not. Who they fock and how they fock is none of my concern, but public behavior is my concern and should be everyone's concern as it reflects upon all of us. This kind of public behavior erodes wh**ever dignity the human race has left. Surprise! I'm surprised and dismayed that it's necessary to point this out to anyone! And speaking of Russian missiles...
Not afraid of, but disgusted by...
And if you don't think it's contagious, think back to the 60's/70's/80's. Billions of dollars in medical research spent on AIDS research caused by personal behavior, that could have been spent on something worthwhile!

I don't get it. What do Republicans have to do about any of this? I understand Democrats, and feel sorry for them! Some day each and every one of them will wake up and fly right!
I understand having a parade, however, I do not believe that nudity is appropriate in public displays where children may be present. I believe there is a difference between being LBGTQ++ and being vulgar. I also think that it is counterproductive to their cause.
They parade their sins in the streets.

I try to get to most of the big parades here, because the spectators make very willing models. For the most part, they are willing to turn, to pose, to move to a slightly different area for a better background, etc..
I wouldn't go unless positive proof you couldn't catch what they have.

I could care less about parades, unless of course they block the streets and cause congestion.

What do you call sin? God made me, I did not choose to be gay, I even married and had kids because I believed them when they said it was a choice, it did not influence me or g***m me to be heterosexual.
New York has many parades where people dress up. Tis is just one of them. Some of them are the Luna New Years, mermaid Parade, Easter Parade, Dance parade, and Halloween parade. Its just people having fun.

The sin is being judged by one who was taught with puritanical views, that the way he was born is superior to the way someone else was born.
Judging from the post, there are a lot of folks that never learned that if you don't have something good to say, shut up. This is a photo forum, the only responses should be about the photos, not the photo subjects.

Would I do it, no, but the nudity is no more than at the beach. There is no dicks out, if a kid has not seen the rest, he has been sheltered and needs to get out.

Tatts on naked ladies sends this crowd of po-faced pearl-clutchers over the edge as well.
Grandma had a tattoo of "I like Ike!" on her butt that she'd trot out at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Good times eh
