Far from it. In Sydney we have a gay pride march down Oxford Street 
every year, which I've never watched (though it does show up on the TV 
news every year). A couple of my neighbours decorate a truck for the 
procession just outside the building ever year and I say hello to them 
if I go past them while they are working on it.

It keeps them happy, and NSW is a much better place now that the cops 
have been persuaded that gay-bashing isn't one of their duties, and now 
have a contingent marching in the procession.

I'm a bit surprised that freaks like you, with your unbounded passion 
for fatuous conspiracy theories, don't get together in the same sort of 
way to show off your unique talents.

Donald Trump's MAGA rallies probably qualify as much the same sort of 
celebration of rampant irrationality, but they don't get reported that 
way - or haven't so far.
