Perhaps, instead, wait for the day when a Pride parade is comparable to a St. Patrick’s Day Parade. A time in which people with a common bond can celebrate their culture, but one in which all of the community feels welcome.

I think that day is not that far away.

I was just noticing how hugely popular the Toronto pride parade has become amongst heterosexuals. Its reason for being has gradually shifted from one of gay support to simply a huge party. Long after LGBT people achieve full equality people will still love a big party, need little excuse for one, and Pride will probably go on for a long, long time. I agree Trig.

Most gay people don't have gay parents. For that reason, I think that even when full equality is achieved, there will still be occasion for gay people to come together. Besides, Pride Parades are fun! TRiG. Désirée,
