Gay Pride, and why it's hurting a cause.

Well, here we are again, approaching the dog days of summer. What better to accompany the sweet smells and sounds of summer, than 1000's of 3/4 naked gay men and women crowding the streets of the world's most populous cities? In my opinion? Everything. The problem I find in gay pride celebrations and whatnot is not just the fact that they represent the gay community as a sex based community....it doesn't achieve something gay people desperately search for....equality. If gay people want equality, don't you think that is better fought through protest marches and court rooms....not on the streets flaunting tight abs, and holding drag queen competitions. Do we see Straight people having straight pride parades? No we do not...If gay people wish to gain equality in such a world as this, we should start acting like citizens as a part of this world. No more gay pride...no more showing off of a sex dominated community. No parades...no rainbows...no colors....no drag queens. As much as we have a right to engage in anyone of these activities...I find that it is not beneficial the cause of human rights at this point in the fight. Fight on, but fight on in different ways. Use a lawyer, not a float on which to take off all your clothes and dance.
