Why, is there something wrong with that?

Was I not supposed to be at the Gay Folks party?

They (often my friends) always seemed pretty happy to have as many cool, supportive, happy, fun people there partying with them ... as wanted to show up.

Maybe shit has changed since last I went, which was a while ago now?

Pretty safe bet the straight kids that show up to hang and party at Pride ... are indeed supportive, or they wouldn't be there. For my part, I was always there FIRST to support, and 2nd to have fun with a bunch of other cool, fun folks.

The Pride parades still represent, and now celebrate, the success of those early protests. lambchopp59 Jun 2019 #7
