From PJmedia.com…
I lived in New York City from 1986 until roughly 2008. Gay pride month usually meant restaurants in Greenwich Village would hang rainbow signs and gay people would have a month-long party. There would be a parade featuring rainbows and unicorns. Suddenly, there were more and more groups of semi-naked men dancing on floats. That’s when it all fell apart.
Gay pride month was always about acceptance and equality. But a huge part of the gay community needed to “stick it to the man,” i.e., conservatives. And what better way to do that than to throw oily, muscle-men in g-strings onto a parade float and have them pretend to have sex with one another, hoping to “shock” conservatives?
“Take THAT, Bible thumpers! Now sweep up our glitter!”
But the Gay Pride parade is in New York City, not really known as a bastion of conservatism. The only people who saw the sparkly, gyrating men were other gay people and kids. That’s where it gets uncomfortable—when young kids were seeing almost-naked men having almost-real sex. The Pride parade suddenly needed parental controls.
That’s when “gay pride” became “gay sex in yo’ face” month.
Is “gay pride” just about sex? Burger King thinks so.
Meet the Pride Whopper! You can get a burger with two “top” buns or two “bottom” buns.
For those of you who aren’t familiar with gay jargon, here is the definition (GRAPHIC WARNING) of a top. I’ll let you figure out what a “bottom” is.

You can tell there were no gay people in on this embarrassing, brown-nostriled attempt to peddle burgers. Tops seek out bottoms and vice versa. Two bottoms is a frustrating way to end a date. Two tops is a potential sex brawl.
If you didn’t believe me about naked men in glitter, this tweet is from the official New York City Pride account:
