I have taken part in a number of Gay Pride Parades, maybe 20-25, but not in a few years. During my marriage I was able to participate because my wife was out of town very often back then, going back to the 1970's when the local Parade was in August, and later when it was in June, and I worked in the " New Town " community and worked very often on a Sunday back then, until noon time, and I had my female attire and accessories stashed away in the East Lake View neighborhood, (aka "Boys Town " & "New Town ") I support the goals of the the great LGBT community, as I understand them, but to each his own and live and let live in so so far as someone's involvement in LGBT activities & struggles. I have neen way too inactive in the last few years, which is strange as I am now retired, and have been for years, and have so much spare time on my hands.
