Oh, I may agree with you. But what is the definition of tacky? Can we regulate things based on our own internalized homophobia. I wish there was not so much of the leather scene at pride festivals. I am aware that is an issue for me. I hope that someday we will unite within our own community and not fight each other because of our difference, as tacky as they may be. “but why does so much at Pride have to be so tacky”?

OK, maybe so... but why does so much at Pride have to be so tacky? I'm going to have a tougher time convincing exposed but phobic people of anything if they catch a sample of the truly tasteless displays I've seen at most pride festivals. “Taking an extra step to show your pride helps people who are not exposed to gay people know we exist and that there is no shame.”
