The Ghost of RubangB on 08 July 2008
Not everybody in the parades is being super flamboyant, but the regular folks are harder to recognize in photos and harder to remember. Also, the people who hide their gayness at work and school really overdo it at the parade to make up for lost time.
And maybe for these people the whole rest of the world is one big gross straight parade. Have you seen our magazines, billboards, and sides of buses? It's almost always naked chicks.
I agree that the stereotypes can hurt their cause, but I understand why they go nuts at the parades. And who wants to live in a world where you can't go nuts at your own parade?
