The point about the gay pride march though
is that people do it because they CAN.

I'm old enough to remember the time when they couldn't, by law. Even for a long time afterwards and even still now, in some places.

It's about not taking hard fought-for rights for granted. These rights are being nibbled away at by certain parties.

For example, do a British gay couple want to adopt a child? Stay in a B&B? No chance, if the people they go to decline them on religious grounds. Not even if they're nice, quiet, soberly-dressed gay people who've never been on a march in their lives. People like you, in fact!
