If it's overt I absolutely do.  But it's far less common.

It's not necessarily "offensive" to me. It's more just uncomfortable with.

And yet you've hijacked zero threads to rant and rave about the heterosexual agenda being thrown in your face even though pop culture and daily life are much more saturated with depictions of "straight love" and "straight propaganda." Hmmm...

Because it is less overt. There are no straight pride parades. There is no in your face activity, whether you like it or not. If there were, I'd say the very same thing.

Does that excuse what happened in the Castro?

Who here is excusing it? Ironically, you, the most anti-PDA poster here, are the one making a fuss about it. Why does it bother you, of all people?

There is literally no way to argue that portrayals of affection in gay relationships in media are more overt or explicit than hetero ones.

Sure there is. One routinely has street parades and blocks traffic for it. One does not.

The occasional parade vs. the entirety of film, television, magazines, music, etc.?

Probably because one group already has rights and doesn't need to fight for them using forms of public protest.

The dance club music and very, highly inappropriate costumes are a protest?

There doesn't need to be straight pride parades, because it's treated as the default.

In NYC we have a straight pride parade; it's called the St. Patrick's Day Parade.
