New York City gay pride parade

I have nothing against homosexuals, I really don’t. But why a gay pride parade? I’m not proud of being a heterosexual, I just am. Why take pride in something you were born with? I don’t celebrate that I have a full head of hair, as opposed to some of my friends who are totally bald. It’s just genetics. Are we now supposed to celebrate genetics?

How about a parade for everyone born in the 21st century, in North America, with brown hair and brown eyes, approximately six feet tall when fully grown? Sounds good to me. Fits my description just fine. The thing is, I wouldn’t dress up like a clown or some other freak to celebrate my genes. TGO

Tens of thousands of marchers paraded through New York streets Sunday in a huge Gay Pride parade, with many proudly carrying rainbow flags or waving virulently anti-Trump signs.

On foot, astride motorcycles or riding on flatbed trucks, participants slowly covered the 2-mile route from Midtown Manhattan to Greenwich Village, where the movement for homosexual rights was born after the so-called Stonewall riots of 1969.

Under a brilliant sun, hundreds of police officers and some of New York’s most prominent politicians — Mayor Bill de Blasio, Governor Andrew Cuomo and Senator Chuck Schumer, all Democrats — marched cheerfully alongside participants, some of the latter in the scantiest of outfits. (AFP)
