Today at school the topic was at kind of a sociology lesson: what's the connection between personal and public or common issues? What's a personal and what's a public issue? I said gender-identity for example is personal. So nobody has the right to ask whether a person is gay or not.
The next question was than why they had a gay parade or festival or whatever every year? Why does it become a public issue? (By the way on 5ft of September there was a gay parade and they carried boards which said 'Jesus had two fathers too'. LOL :D)
Of course, some said it's just a way to throw a lot money out the window for close the half city centre for the fags. How clever... Bravo!
I believe nobody has the right to ask about the other's identity. BUT! A person CAN tell it if he/she wants to. He/she can make this a public issue (because maybe he/she feels it's a way to make this an accepted thing), but the common has no right to force him/her to make or not make this step. Always the 'victim' has more rights.
So, what do you think about gay festivals and about personal and public issues?

I agree that gay people are forced to bring into the public their personal lifestyle in order to educate the masses. The masses need to understand that their brothers, mothers teachers, doctors and more happen to be gay so the stigma of being gay will become the difference between someone who is left-handed or someone who is right-handed; nothing else. I am television director who happens to be gay; not a gay television director. Gays also have the right to keep private their sexuality but unfortunately the more gays keep it private the more the masses will only judge those who make it commonplace. Most often these gays have no choice because they are effeminate and have obvious charactoristics that cannot be hidden. I say all those gays that can live their life in the shadows should come out to organized events and should make their happiness with themselves public until the public doesn't jusdge and stigmitize anymore.
Hey!
Thanks for the comment.
You have a point there, you're right. But actually i can't decide whether gays should make it commonplace or not. I mean does it help all the time?
Cause in Hungary Budapest Pride seems like a civil-right procession not a parade. Which is bad. So yes, maybe gays have to show themselves proudly, until it will become accepted. But what will happen if Hungary isn't ready? What if this would make it worse?
And i think not just gays should go to the parade but the people who think it's important to accept the homosexuals.
