TS and gay pride/gay parade?

[yosi]

Many TS ladies say they don't want to date men who like Transgendered women, they want to date strait men who seem them strictly as women.

the same TS ladies participate in gay pride events and gay parades.

if they see themselves strictly as women , why is this need to participate in such events?

am I the only one who is confused here?

Gay pride is for everybody man. In Toronto it's not just for gay people anymore. The city shuts off the entire gay area of downtown to have a huge bash. All kinds of crazy shit goes on there. Like Sodom and Gomorra for a week. Females, gays, bisexuals, straights, porn producers, twinks, boobs. It's just a mess. Who wouldn't want to go?

Same in Amsterdam, it draws a huge crowd to cheer the boat parade every year. Families come from out of town to watch. But there are some cities in the world where LGBT events are not welcome, as you can see in this new photo report.

Fresno Pride pretty much sucks...but LA and Frisco's pretty damn fun...

The same is true in London. It's a huge event for everyone.

Im not sure if the term is still Gay Pride/Parade, as far as I know they call it Pride March or LGBT Pride Parade thats why you can see there Gays, Lesbian, Bisex, Trans, Straights and many more ;)
