@laureth 1)a)It’s not the lewd behaviour, it’s the level of actual danger posed to bystanders. Physical danger for the bystanders is what my OP is about now?
b) “socially-sanctioned atmosphere”, highly debatable, isn’t it? The one thing the majority (I can safely say) of gay community doesn’t like about it is that.
2)“If you don’t like it, don’t go” is the kind of counter people give when they get stuck. By that logic if gay people people don’t like being discriminated against they should just go and find an island to live in. Not just gay related things, if someone doesn’t like being relegated to the back of the bus, they should just go back to Africa, and on and on.
Added: Also ideally the parade should be more than a party, considering how far there is to go toward equality.
3)Do you think the ones who expose themselves all the (to different degrees) have the best interest at heart for the gay/lesbian struggle? Should they be the leader? Should be removed from the suspect list of flashers in all other public areas? Because of course they would never think of doing that other than there?
@Simone_De_Beauvoir 1)Re. the sarcasic comment (about me not being eloquent) the purpose of which is supposed to be to distract people from the fact that you got stuck, I asked you above And they guy at the link you provided, all he has to be is more eloquent than you, and you would accept his position then?
2)First of all the organizers do not have a say in what the various groups do or do not other than the usual ‘don’t kick the religious nuts or cops in the balls’ instructions. If not them then who?
@TheLadyEve,
@Simone_De_Beauvoir just she got our usernames confused? And how do you know that for a fact?
If a segment of the community who wants to self destruct, or being paid to be destructive is answering this OP, how would that be different from your responses?
