On the LGBT side of things, I'll try to think like a gay man for a moment (yes I know I'm leaving myself wide open there) (and I just did it again). If I were gay, and seeing the way so much of middle America was slowly but surely losing its bigotry, supporting marriage equality, accepting other sexualities as part of the mainstream, etc--I'm not so sure I'd be thrilled about parades full of guys in assess chaps and dog collars and the like. My sentiment would probably be to the effect of, "Guys, please, stop helping."
