As for the banner - I wish that I could claim it was my idea, but it was my boyfriends. He's the artistic one - just grabbed some card and oil paints and banged it together in no time. I was as impressed I assure you xD. Arctic - Don't stay in there too long! It's not worth it! hifriend - That banner is crazy awesome xD garbanzo - You're right - I didn't mention it in the OP because I didn't want to complicate anything, but basically the float that I walked with was the company that I work for and it focuses heavily on conservation - specifically anti rhino poaching. The pride "theme" was "Celebrate our Diversity" and my boss decided that it should be "Celebrate our Biodiversity" so he added in the whole rhino motif. Kerotan - Haha, well, it was an amazing day in Cape Town last Saturday - we're still in Summer here so it was really hot. All the poor trannies had to keep reapplying their makeup. Feel free to share this anywhere you can! Spread the word! Spread the love! | ||

Of course every person today is silently conscious about the social benefits of membership to a purportedly persecuted minority, a status which amounts to knee-jerk sympathy and acclamation among all respectable society. What is so peculiar about gay pride is that its very medium, in substance not much more than a generic variation of your common nauseating platitudes about equality and tolerance, is badly suited to the category. No normal person is proud of his sexuality. This is so whether he is an immaculate virgin, or a foot-sniffing pedophile, and for obvious reasons. Sex as a mere compulsive appetite is lonely, humiliating and dull. It is only through the sense of shame we feel about it that it has any constructive emotional purpose. That purpose is the potential of intimacy by the mutual exchange of vulnerability between two people, and any public campaign which purports to celebrate any kind of sexuality is not only false but degrading. People who propagate such slogans I will grant usually believe what they are saying, but they don't know what they are saying. As abhorrent as "Black", "Asian" or "Feminist" pride is, at least in each case, you can at least build a positive case for each of these movements. There are unquestionably certain things that black people can do better than whites, or women can do better than men. What staple of civilization can be particularly attributed to homosexuals, I shall leave the better-informed to determine. Behind every honest cause, there are a thousand opportunists. Behind every dishonest cause also. Would jarrydesque have fought for the cause of "gay pride" in a society in which such sentiments would have brought odium, infamy and ostracism upon himself? Of course not. Let's give him the benefit of the doubt and assume that his courage equals his posture. In such an environment, he would at best assume the guise of an old-fashioned liberal; fighting for the idea that it's no man's business to mind his neighbour's. In an intellectually challenging environment, he would actually be obliged to have well-considered arguments. | ||

"I don't want you to agree with what I am, I want you to respect it." It's was difficult for a any person, even my ten-year old self to take such slogans seriously, but most people received it well. I suppose it's a kind of catechism for all who understand whatever that's supposed to mean. | ||

Because you think of sex and desires as an evil, shameful thing, that must mean that everyone else that disagrees is lying to themselves? Lol.

What staple of civilization can be particularly attributed to homosexuals, I shall leave the better-informed to determine. Uhh, what's your point? Because homosexuals are not inherently superior to heterosexuals in any way, they shouldn't have pride in who they are? I think you misunderstand "pride" movements. "Pride" in this context (at least per my interpretation) does not mean that you consider yourself superior to others; it just means that you have the pride in yourself as a human being that everyone should have. The rest of your posts don't make much sense at all so I'll just leave you to try and better express your opinions. I don't know if English is a second language for you or what, because I simply cannot figure out what your point is. To be fair though, I do generally find the "half-naked-men-dancing-on-floats" aspects of Gay Pride parades to be pretty stupid. They only reinforce all of the negative stereotypes people have of homosexuals... | ||
