WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF GAY PRI PARAS? IF THE PURPOSE IS CLEAR, IS PRODUCTIVE OR UNTERPRODUCTIVE?

CONTENT WARNG: IMAG OM THIS WEEKEND’S GAY PRI PARAS
The slg back of hard-earned rights and protectns of LGBTQ people, particularly transgenr people, is difficult to when straight people ask why there is a need for gay pri or wonr why there aren’t straight pri celebratns, feels a lot like they are sayg ntributns by LGBTQ people — a mory group that fac nstant adversy — are simply not worthy of regnn.

“GAY PRI” PARAS, NUDY, AND NIHILISM
It's well known that beg "different" (cludg homosexual a society that owns on ) sometim mak a person feel very prsed bee they assume they are "the only one like ". This don't JUST work for homosexuals.
Another goal is as a subtle (or not) "eff you" to society that is viewed as homophobic. I fully agree that 's unterproductive at bt if your goal is to make homosexualy more accepted, but people aren't always ratnal. That's why San Fran gay paras turn to a "let's drs as provotively and sexually as possible" rnivals.
"You may thk you n ms wh that one gay kid your large group bee he's alone. In an objective and tached way, gay pri assum or pruppos a society at large which gay lbian bisexual and transgenr people are valued, ostracized, and margalized on the basis of their sexual or genr inty. Gay Pri paras make gay lbian bisexual and transgenr people visible and more wily regnized.
