Let's also not forget the Fulsom Street and Up Your Alley fairs, or any of the "Pride" parades that go on in San Francisco. None of those utterly despicable and degenerate events do the gay rights movement any favors. Seeing gay males fellate, masturbate and urinate on each other out in the open on a public street in plain view of police officers to the thumping beat of disco house does _not_ incline those of us in straight America to accept homosexuality as "normal" and "just another lifestyle". Especially when one considers that if a just as abominable heterosexual event occurred like the aforementioned ones, in full view of the public, the event would be broken up and arrests would happen.

The United States today is one of the most accepting places in the world; most of us straight people nowadays don't give a rat's ass what two adults are doing in the privacy of their own home; we just expect similar consideration from the other side. We don't care if you revel in your lifestyle, just don't force your sexuality down our throats with a plumber's friend.
