I went to one of those once in Berlin when I lived there. God almighty! 
I've never seen such a complete and utter freak show in my entire life. I 
just stood there gaping open-mouthed at the procession. It must have been 
pretty obvious to any of those weirdos on the floats that I wasn't there 
to celebrate them! I just find it bizarre that parents actually take their 
kids to see this sort of thing and they're all waving their rainbow flags 
and whatnot. No kids of mine would be allowed within a million miles of an 
event like that. No wonder the God-fearing folks reckon the world's going 
to hell in a handbasket. :(
