Agreed, but the more you hold yourself out, and try to "convince" the masses that it's OK to be gay, you are just feeding more hatred, and bringing attention to yourself.
The whole idea behind gay pride IS to bring attention to themselves, in a positive way. While your blend theory is perhaps the easiest way for gays to go through life, many do not want to hide their gayness, many are happy and proud of their sexuality and therefore should be free to express it as they choose (so long as they aren't violating any descency laws of whatever).
Gay pride seeks to enlighten people that a great many people are gay in this world, and by doing so, takes homosexuality out of the realm of unspeakable taboo and places it into everyday life. The best way to end discrimination is by educating the public about it, and what better way to do this than throw a gay prride parade?
In my feeble mind, I'll never consider it OK to be gay - I don't see that sexual practice as a "normal" thing.
You don't consider it OK to be gay? So if you were gay yourself, you'd be in the closet then?
The concept of "normal" exists only within our minds.
Is it normal to eat rice and cold fish for breakfast? It is if you happen to be japanese.
Is it normal to consume 20 drinks a day? It is if you are an alcoholic.
Is it normal to fuck someone of the same sex? It is if you are gay.
There is no such thing as "normal". Being gay is no more or less normal than having asthma, or brown eyes, these are just characteristics and nothing more.
If a pregnant women does too much coke the kid will come out stupid and/or deformed. If a women has elevated levels of estrogen (just one possible cause) in the first trimester, the kid will come out gay.
With regard to the incredible variation of the expression of life, nothing is either normal or abnormal, it simply is.
