why don't we get major corporations to help fund awareness in countries where gay pride is more of an issue than in the west ? o wait they change their advertising to meet the needs of a country they are selling products too. so any of these so called sponsors of such events in the west are nothing but hypocrites.
in canada no one cares much at all anymore about anything to do with your sexuality or any of it. you can get x on your passport if that's how you want to identify.
lets focus greater attention on places where pride is obviously needed more. i am willing to bet most would chose florida to reside in over say iran.
