Gay people are just normal people with a different sexual orientation. It's only fair for them to have the same rights that heterosexual people have. That doesn't give anyone, no matter the sexual orientation, to be displaying in public explicit sexual acts. I remember seeing some gay people carrying a giant penis during a protest and they were not told by anyone of the other gay people there to take it away. I'm against those kinds of people, who think they have instantly gotten the right to do anything they want in regards to their sexuality just because they have been granted some missing civil rights. The law should still be the law.
Gay pride parades shouldn't be allowed to be done in public places, because they are sexually suggestive as per se and also because they are not necessary at all as they are inciting homophobic people to respond. There's no such thing as "white people pride parades", "Jew's Pride Parades" or "male pride parades", because they would be considered either racist, fanatist or sexist. In that same regard, sexuality oriented pride parades are useless and should be punished.
One personal opinion on homophobic people. It's only natural of human beings to feel repulsion over something that's not following the lines of our natural ways of behaviour. I'm not even justifying homophobic people at all, because that's terrible, but you can't be angry over someone feeling repulsion after seeing 2 gay people kissing on the streets (so long as there is no agression or discrimination). I'm sure many would feel repulsion over a father and a daughter kissing or having sex, or people eating excrements, because those are things that go against the basic human instincts and what has been in our genetic memory for millions of years with the purpose of preserving the species. I'm not saying those are wrong, as in morally wrong, but they can be disturbing for some people and that needs to be aknowledged by the people performing such acts and so they should think whether it's appropiate or not to do it in X place at X time.
