Okay-knowing that I may be crucified for this question; here goes:
This confuses me: I hear a number of gay folks express their discontent with the way that they are treated in this society. Words like equality and rights often come up. But I also see a number of gay folks participate in activities that make them look just plain silly; an example is being in drag (obnoxious drag) at a gay pride parade.
Why would a group that so badly desires equality put themselves "out there" in such an obnoxious and unflattering way. I don't know of any other group, who desires equality, that does this.
I did thnk about shriners and their over the top silliness at parades but then quickly realized they don't cry for equality nor have the parades just for them.
And just for the record, I am not homophobic. No, I can't say "some of my best friends are gay." I'm just an old guy trying to figure the world out. And if I have offended you, I apologize.
