I'd like to see an alternative parade
One for those of use who don't care for all that flamboyance and extravagance and just want equal treatment under the law. Call me crazy, but I think it's a lot easier to be taken seriously when you're wearing more than a thong and a feather boa. I ought to say that I do support those peeps, but I do wish they'd tone down the fabulousness just a tad.
Actually, fuck it. If parades like this one make those empty-headed, hateful bigots uncomfortable then I'm all for them, despite their being not entirely to my taste. People like that almost make me wish there was a God, just so he/she/it could show up and royally smite them for all the things done in his/her/its name.

I had wondered what was tickling my colon.
I assumed it was the butternut squash and spinach curry I made last night as that's had my trousers flapping like a windsock in a hurricane all day.

agree
personally I think that Pride events should be more focused on the loving relationship than the sex. I really don't want to see someone dressed up as Darth Vader with his cock out (seen in Brighton) for any damn cause.

I think there's some idea that if you ask them to put it away you're being somehow anti gay
But I don't see why homos on parade has to mean cocks n arses myself, it's supposed to be, 'Look we're here and proud, yay!' fun dancing and smiles, not, 'Look at my arsehole and puke you straight vanilla bastards!' and often goes overboard from flamboyant fun to just plain gross public indecency and I really think it does nobody any favours to be quite so confrontational about it.
Last time I saw one in Manchester a few years back that was some dude wearing nothing but glitter and a buttplug up his arse sticking Vs up at anyone who objected, and sorry, but too fucking much for the street, mate, get off the K and put it away.
