I kinda agree with [MENTION=2749]Rick[/MENTION] that being gay (or lesbian, bisexual or transgender, thats what 'awareness' is for, like most things, sexuality and gender isn't black and white) isn't special. We don't need a month dedicated to us to make us feel special.
But i think that anything it can do to change some peoples mind, or make people more aware, or more accepting (or tolerant) of being different is good.
There is still a lot of hatred and stupidity out there for the LGBT community. Blonde people and left handed people don't need a month dedicated to them because they aren't hated, you don't see pickets with signs saying "God hates left-handers" or "Blondes burn in hell".
and i agree that the Gay Pride parade is the stupidest thing ever. It's that flamboyant overly sexualised view of the LGBT community which causes us so much problems i think.
