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.

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!
