I completely agree every actions is most likely due to some purpose. Throughout our life we've developed a system to deal with data from the outside world. However this system is very plastic and adapts all the time to the current environment, using the new information which is to be reflected upon.
As such, the purpose changes all the time. We get a respond from the outside world. Unless the respond changes, and the purpose stays for sufficient time, a habit is formed and you'll see people do stuff they suddenly have no idea why they did.

Seddy, that's nice. My friend also had a similar date. He says sex isn't really very important for him.
What I see wrong with parades is that they seem to imply to oblivious people the exact opposite - that it's all about sex. it's not fair for homosexuals.

@Ohfor
There's a lot of truth in your post indeed. I'll dedicate my "amateur philosophy session" of the day around that subject. Aka, my jogging route.
Yes doom, it isn't fair. Nor is it fair that heterosexual youth can party and act exactly like the pride parades on regular festivals without everyone thinking all heterosexuals are like that xD

But sex is important to most people in a relationship. I think it is natural and normal AND nothing to be ashamed of. If sex is the most important thing though, that is really not a relationship at all.
@DF. I invite you to a gay pride in Finland.  I guarantee it is not a sex fest. It is more like a demonstration - after which there is a big party (with clothes on, yes). But then again we finnish people are more reserved in public, don't know how crazy it is elsewhere...
If seeing a drag queen is already too much then, well, then you take things too seriously

I'd love to come, actually! But I'm so poor, I can't even buy myself a happy meal at McDonalds. And I guess plane tickets cost a tiny bit more

Can't you just do it by hand? Otherwise, you know you can also get some without paying right?

Minion, I posted that mainly as a reply to Dooms "homosexuality is about sex" statement.  And of course sex is a part of relationships, but it's not like hetero or homosexuality = sex.

Why would gay people have more fun hetero people? If I want a big pink fruity cocktail that looks as gay as Elton John riding a unicorn into the sunset on a rainbow I'll get one.
That's the only controversial topic I can think of where homosexual men could possibly have more fun than me. Except for the whole having sex with guys part but in return I get to have sex with women so we're even.

I don't think gheys have more "fun" per se, but I *DO* believe they are much more likely to show it when they do. Hence, the prejudice, I suppose.

Too bad they can't in many places enjoy the marriage bonus/penalty that straight couples do just for being born a certain way.

But such behaviour is neither inheritly gay nor is it typically gay. That's just a personal characteristic. You don't suddenly become more outgoing when you're gay and you're not automatically less open about your feelings if you're straight.
Also the partner suggestion Doom is a mystery to me. They have relationships with people just like heterosexuals. One individual is gay another isn't I don't see how that automatically makes people more compatible if they're homosexual. You mean because they have more to connect over? Because they've shared possible hardship or what not? In the end it's just about finding a subject where you share common ground and for gay people it may be the fact that they're homosexual. But that's only a point because society makes a big deal out of it, afterall hetero couples don't get along better simply for being hetero.
EDIT: Shyranis that's different. While it's unfair and moronic it doesn't explain why homosexuals should have more fun than heteros based on the fact that they're homosexuals. I don't see where they could or when they do how it could possibly be due to the fact that they're gay and I'm not.

This is just a general opinion about this tread:
I remember when I first came to this forum I have written some pretty harsh things with the prejudice that most of the gamers are homophobes. That was because of the Youtube users that comment under game videos and this forum is the first and still only game forum I'm in. But now I've seen that's not the case here, which is great.
After saying that, I have to say I'm not in favour of this tread.
First of all GLBT is such a big and general topic that all of the issues regarding GLBT people cannot be talked about under a single tread. Approximately one out of every five people are GLBT. So we are not talking about a small minority but a big one, which still faces lots of diverse problems worldwide. So I find this tread like having a tread called "Black people" or "PC games". Which, I think will show how absurd the existence of a tread called "GLBT community" is.
Secondly, the original post is supposed to be the source of the tread. But this one is about a specific case which is a very controversial one and is not about the whole "GLBT community"
Thirdly, GLB and T have nothing to do with each other. I, as a man, like man. Heteros like the opposite sex and gays like the same sex. That's it. But transsexuality has nothing to do with members of which sex you like, it is an issue about the person's body. The person does want the opposite sex's body and feels like the body he/she is in originally is wrong. He or she can still like any sex and that doesn't affect his or her transsexuality. I'm talking as a previous member of a GLBT organization and have known lots of transsexual people. Also transvestitism is different than transsexuality. Transvestites only like to wear the opposite sex's clothings, and have no problem with their body. So if we put T at the end, we can go ahead and also put J to stand for Jews or B to stand for black people. These are all seperate issues.
But, I'm aware that GLBT is an expression that is very hard to seperate right now. So, that's not what bothers me in this tread mainly. My real problem is my first point. So, I suggest closing this tread and post future issues about gay, lesbian, bisexual, transsexual or transvestite in seperate treads instead of piling every irrelevant thing here, only because they have a gay, lesbian, bisexual, transsexual or transvestite person in it.
While writing this I know nothing will change about this tread. But wanted to show the opinion of a gay man about a GLBT tread.

I believe that the "T" is thrown in with the "GLB" because they all face a similar sort of mild ostracization from mainstream society.
