Then there is no need for a parade, is there?

I don't believe in Harry Hay's assertion that gay men are a distinct
tribe.  Sure, it was a clever tool for his political organizing in the
1950s, just as he had done among the longshoremen, truck drivers, and
other working people he organized.  But gay men are not really a
tribe.  We don't share much in common at all.
