As I was leaving the gym last week, I picked up a copy of the CL Gay Pride issue. Sitting in my car, sweating profusely as the blissful air-conditioning cooled me down, I opened up to an article called “Party Without Him” that boasted, against a rainbow background, about one gay man who has, it would appear, utter contempt for gay pride.
Ramon Reyes, a local software trainer for a tech services company, has an issue with gay Pride celebrations having niche groups of overtly sexual people. Muscled men in speedos? Appalling. Fetish clothing? Reprehensible.
This person wants to show the world that gays are not “inhuman, weird or sinner[s.]” However, according to him, this mighty task will surely never be accomplished until sexuality is removed completely from gay pride and replaced exclusively with professional homosexuals in loving relationships; then, and only then, will gay rights really advance in this lovely land we call America.
