Eastern Europe is more conservative. Not surprising.

I have nothing against gays, but I think making parades celebrating your own sexuality is a bit silly... Especially in a relatively conservative country.

There are no rights. Everything is a privilege.

Celebrating your own sexuality is important when people are prejudiced against you, in principle it's a political protest.

What is the reason to be so proud about being a gay, seriously? Or who gives a fck who is gay and who is not? I don't understand what is the purpose of these parades, and what do they want to achieve with this.

They want to be treated as humans like heteros...Nobody insults or humiliates people because they are heteros so they don't need a hetero parade.

That was exactly my thought. Homosexual people can stick anything the wish in all their private places. The idea of celebrating sexuality is a little unusual. It'd be also unusual celebrating heterosexuality parading through cities.
