There's still a big element of deliberately provoking the anger of people who are anti-gay. It is slowly growing up, and there are more serious marchers than before (this year gay police were allowed to march as a group, but not in uniform).
I particularly liked this bit. At the last place I worked I knew 2 gay guys. One was rather respectable and quiet, the other totally over the top camp. The first one would wince every time the second had a tantrum. He thought he was a disaster to the gay movement and to people socially accepting them.
Oddly enough, the only place the guy could get away with that behavior was at work, where positive discrimination laws were in practice and the HR department wouldn't touch him with a 10-foot pole. He couldn't be fired, plain and simple. He would sue the company for millions.
I definately could not imagine him looking after kids. He is the reason why middle America hates gays.
