I am a 65-year-old straight white male with two kids and four grandkids, and for the first time my wife and I attended the gay pride parade this year.
I have seen many parades for various occasions in my life, but this one rated at the top.
The music, dancing, colours and thousands of happy faces – gay, straight, adult and children – left us feeling very upbeat and morally intact.
Anyone who can see this as “vulgar” needs to loosen up.
Get your head out of the sand and go see for yourself.
