MorahRach, didn’t run to do research. Was already known to me. And I don’t have a bone to pick with you, sorry I gave that impression.
Also, unlike some other topics, where my feelings are very strong, I don’t have any “skin in the game” on this one, as where I live there are no Target stores (will be in a few months, though), and I’m not up in arms about the Pride agenda one way or another. My perspective on it is that IF we want to enjoy the freedoms and tolerance that a democratic state gives us, we have to abide by its laws and assume that everyone deserves the same freedom and tolerance as we do, even those whose lifestyle we reject.
But I am certainly against Pride parades all of which, from what I can tell, are simply a public display of hedonism and half clad celebrants (or less), much less about identity and much more about flaunting public undress, drunkenness and lascivious behaviour that I would find incompatible with use of public space regardless of the orientation of the marchers.
