Is it just me or do Pride Parades seem too sexualized?

It seems more of a place where people try to get together with other gays then celebrating gay pride.

I think I'm understanding it more... I'll do some research.

I think this is important food for thought too- Pride started to commemorate the Stonewall Riots. These riots were sparked because the cops were dragging LGBT people out of bars, strip searching them in public, beating them if they resisted and publishing their names in news papers so their bosses would fire them.

If stripping some couple in the middle of the street just for being a couple is ok- maybe it is ok if people in Pride show their bodies.

If definitely depends on the parade. I went to one and it was not sexual at all.
