[Leica] Barcelona PRIDE PARADE / 1

[Steve Barbour]

thank you Jayanand, a cerebral  thought provoking response as I would expect.  We both have an inclination to defend our own familiar societies, warts and all.
The SF Gay Pride Parade has been as wild as they come. If that has sobered me and touched me with the reality of our new society, there has been a seismic change here. Anyway that's how it hit me,  we have a very long way to go.

Steve,
I am afraid you have to read up a bit on arranged marriages (mine was one)
to go beyond the stereotypes that you depict without any understanding of
the cultural issues involved whatsoever. Anyway, pointing out the well
known social defects of my country does not absolve any other country of
theirs, both are mutually exclusive. :-)

Having said that, I have nothing against gay people, but was wondering why
"Gay Pride" manifests itself as it does, that is all. We have "Gay Pride"
marches here, which is full of ordinary people who happen to be gay, which
is far more understandable, and to my mind, far more effective!

Cheers
Jayanand
