Gay Pride parades and other events should have taught everyone something. Gay couples, singles and committed couples just want to be accepted. They want to have the same rights as everyone else. They want to be accepted for whom they are and not what others want them to be. Many people attended the parades. If all these people would respect gay people, there would not be any discrimination and hatred towards their sexual preference.
Everyone deserves the right to freedom of speech, but not if it id used to discriminate against any one person or group of people. Freedom to live your life and marry the person you love is another freedom that gay people need. If anyone had reservations about gay people, they should have watched and attended some of the events that were held throughout the month of June all over the world.
Gay Pride month is one way for people to learn about acceptance. The theme for Chicago was "Live, Love, Be Proud" is one that can be said about everyone. If you live your life to the fullest, you should have no reason to worry about what someone else is doing with his or her life. If you love and believe in love, you should be a happy person and not wish or demand someone to live without love. If you are proud, you should be proud of who you are and what you have accomplished in your life.
When you practice the "Live, Love, Be Proud" way of life, you also will be happy and not have time to worry about how others live. Gay couples deserve respect. As many have seen with the parades during Gay Pride month, everyone can come together and enjoy the parades with all its beautiful floats and dignitaries.
If anything should have been learned by these celebrations, it is that everyone needs to be able to live and love no matter what his or her sexual orientation is. Only those who continue to fight love and life are the ones that will also lose in the end.
