Every year I go to the Toronto Pride Parade, and every year I cringe at all the visible penises. Does this happen everywhere?
I'm not going to formally complain or anything, because people can do whatever the hell they want, but it just seems to cheapen the message of pride week. You've got tons of kids in the crowd, and then a float goes by featuring a group of oily dudes with their junk out - why create that overly-sexualized impression of gay men?
Imagine if you went to a Christmas parade and Santa had his cock out. Haha...or if you were at the Thanksgiving Day parade and all the balloon characters had giant boners. Or a veterans' parade where they were all wearing crotchless panties.
Aaaaaaanyway....I don't know why they don't just keep the drag, keep the techno, the rainbows, the fun floats...but leave the penises in the pants.
Thoughts?
