Pride is about celebrating who you are and the on-going fight for equal rights. Such comments prove why the fight lives on.

I personally don't agree with the lifestyle but I also believe that the choice is yours to make and not mine to judge. I am allowed to have that opinion. You could probably find some aspect of my lifestyle you disagree with. I also believe that the gay community should have equal legal rights as married couples. All I meant was that the gay community has been fighting so hard to gain these rights but in "my opinion" these types of events are not helping their argument. As someone else mentioned..... I agree there are plenty of gay couples that would make much better parents than the heterosexual ones........ Again just stating that when these events are basically the only exposure the average citizen has to the gay community it isn't very convincing that they should be allowed to raise a child......... I'm not saying one should suppress their pride and put on the khakis and polo to get equal rights but events like this can't possibly be beneficial to gaining what you are after.
