But gay parades, why have them when gay people want to be accepted as ordinary members of society, which they are, but then hold parades to celebrate how different they are.
Does a parade not defeat the purpose of what they are searching for, acceptance. In one breath they are saying 'I'm normal, please treat me as such" and in another breath "Oh look at me, I'm different, aren't I great". Celebrating your sexuality is a pointless act. I don't think I'm coming across right.
I think I'm saying, so what you're gay, shut up and get on with life, nobody gives a fuck, stop shouting about it.

It really doesn't matter how you choose to identify yourself, but rather how your behaviour corresponds to certain categories and definitions. Clearly there is a great sense of safety and comfort for bisexual men to maintain the "label" of "straight", "mostly straight", "straight but bicurious" etc. The only ones who seem hung up on "labels" are the ones who feel safe identifying as straight when they know their behaviour doesn't correspond to the definition or category. There's noting wrong with not being straight, but clearly there is some barrier to identifying as such.
"Remove prostitutes from human affairs, and you will unsettle everything because of lusts..."
St Augustine
More of a legal technicality here than a comment. It wasn't illegal to be gay, anal sex was illegal, or sodomy to give it the biblical name. It came from British law we inherited and not the Catholic church. However the Catholic authorities here were happy to keep the law on the books for as long as possible.
Similar laws are alive and well in many former British colonies today.

Where are we on being able to acknowledge that some of the ts’s on here are really kind of hot, is that gay?, am I gay now?

I don't think sexuality is as binary as some in here make it out to be. I don't believe that if you do x then you're gay and if you do y you're straight, it's more fluid and changeable than that and often times doesn't need a label at all.
Many men here sleep with TS escorts and don't consider themselves gay or even bisexual they consider themselves straight men who occasionally like to sleep with TS, and that's fine.
I don't think its mine or anybody else here place to put a label on their sexuality.
I think heteroflexible is a great word, like a flexitarian...eating meat sometimes
