I have not noticed that. But maybe it says that men just can't be trusted and dogs are more faithful companions?

By chance, a few years ago, hubby, my daughters and I were in New York on the day of the Gay Pride Parade. My girls were young, I want to say around 8 or 9. We took the train into the city from New Jersey early in the morning. We had NO idea about the parade. The girls worked for a few hours and then when we came out and went to walk back to the train station... OMG! The streets were packed and the entrances to the stations were actually closed. We had to walk along the parade route and find a police officer to tell us where to find an open entrance. So here we were with two little girls in the middle of it all and I must admit we were telling them not to look.

Personally, I've never understood any of the "pride" parades or awards, like Miss Black America or Miss Hispanic America, Black Entertainment Awards, Black History Month and Hispanic History Month. We don't have White Entertainment Awards. If we truly want to be a colorblind society, then we need to do away with these types of things. You can celebrate your heritage and pride in who you are in many ways. These types of events stress the fact that they are not like others or not good enough to compete with the rest of the population. Which is the exact opposite of what these segments of our population have been striving for all these years, inclusion and acceptance and being considered equal.
