I Missed the Whole Parade

We just had our Gay Pride parade in Chicago. I wasn’t in it. I missed it on TV. It would have been rated XXX. I’ll recover.

I have a few questions if anyone cares:

• Is anyone but me sort of sick in the gut of all this I’m more out than you are stuff?
• When is the last time you hung out your genitalia and bragged of being more heterosexual than anyone else?
• Isn’t it stupid or is it just me that every TV news team has to make an appearance now or be considered close minded?
• Is a parade that has nudity in spades, simulated (or maybe not so simulated) sex acts and large floats of phallic symbols raise just a question or two in your mind?
• Heterosexuals have some displays of sexuality and other things. Mardi Gras comes to mind. But, this is that times 50. Is that OK with you?
• Isn’t some of this just in your face-ism and not a good time as they might claim?
• Is this a sign of a good healthy civilization or is it something far less?

If you have the answers to all this please help me understand. I know and care deeply about many friends who are part of this lifestyle choice. I know enough to know that Gay is far from the way I would describe it. In fact depressed and prickly is the real moniker.

So, lets call it for what it is. The I’m Depressed and Prickly Pride Parade.

Signing up anyone?
