I think part of deciding how bad this is would be looking at how these
smaller groups are treated in general. That said, I think they were
being treated a lot more fairly in recent years than they used to be
but all the complaining is coming out now..

That is part of it, but if you can get the Gov't involved they can
make laws and such that are totally unfair to most people to please
smaller groups. Plus I think in a lot of cases ordinary people who
want to be fair to everyone are often misled into agreeing with
some things that are wildly unfair to the majority, which they are
part of.

A comment I made (in jest) a while back to illustrate the point
was, I wonder what would happen if people also wanted to have
a Straight Pride Parade every year too?  No doubt that would be
considered totally illegal, an attack on non-straight people..

The person I was talking to also pointed out that in a lot of
the Pride Parades, there is a good amount of full frontal nudity
going on, which you'd be arrested for if you were anyone else.
