Over 100,000 people filled the sunny streets for San Diego’s Pride parade on Saturday. The weekend also included a block party, music festival, rally, 5K marathon, and popup events at bars and clubs all around town. Oh, and plenty of sun-kissed eye candy.
Scroll down for pics from the shenanigans…

These pics are why I’ve never been, and never will go, to a pride event. I don’t see how prancing about on public streets in your underwear, leather dog masks, or fairy wings represents any sort of pride.

If you don’t understand, don’t go. But don’t trash or dismiss because you don’t understand it.

When I see pics or videos of guys performing oral on street corners at pride events that just reinforces my disdain for pride events. How is being out on public streets, as grown ass men, in nothing but a jockstrap and work boots showing pride? What exactly is the pride message from that?

I’ve been to several Pride events and I’ve never seen that so what you saw is pretty rare. Why is it that in your mind seeing two guys do that becomes representative of all of Pride? It’s not uncommon at *any* large scale event to observe a few individuals doing something inappropriate–which this clearly was.
As for the second part of your comment, perhaps you haven’t realized that gay people are *sexual* minorities so dressing in scantily clad clothing kinda emphasizes the point. Also, people shouldn’t be so uptight about showing their bodies in general. If it’s 85 degrees out, why wear a shirt?
Please stay away from Pride events unless you give up your prudish attitude. It’s fine if you want to show up to Pride in wool, black Victorian clothing on a summer day but don’t judge others for having fun.

They don’t seem to quite get it that MOST of us gay men (And most likely women) are just average people with average bodies. The eye candy is nice, but is not a reflection on the entire gay community.
