I do have one question: in the parade are the Dorothys for real or is that just a movie myth?

<<As long as they are not hurting anyone who cares how they act. Do straights ever get drunk and rowdy and do things not accepted by society. Yes they do. But here you want to control their behavior and make sure they do not act gay.>> The analogous behavior of straights would be to parade down the street half-naked with guys fondling women's breasts and women fondling vibrators and grasping guys' penises. I haven't seen that kind of straight behavior lately, have you? It is intellectually dishonest to suggest that gays in the gay pride parade are just acting out like straights. When I said "it's simply a matter of flaunting their lifestyle in the faces of not-so-hip straight America", you responded with, "This sounds like a personal problem to me. Are you jealous that you are not as hip as the gay crowd?" Well, I can assure you it is not a personal problem with me. And why would you call me "not as hip as the gay crowd?" How do you know how hip I am and whether I'm jealous of anyone? Do you feel it's some kind of badge of honor to be as hip as the gay crowd? The attack defense to that question speaks volumes about Mr. Erase Hate.
