Yes, our Nation was founded on Christian religious tenets and principals, you are correct Plain Ol.
But let's look at this from your point of view, a "secularist" point of view. Do you have children? Assuming that you do, when your children were young, (pre-teen/adolescents) would you have liked for a bunch of Gay men to come marching down your residential street, nude, or dressed as the Statute of Liberty sans their genitalia? Or how about just nude, with the exception of a boa, leather vest, or some other sexually explicit regalia? How about a bunch of women who are dressed provocatively, or completely nude? Would you care for your children to be exposed to this, in a blatant, sexually explicit and/or provocative parade? How about at the County Fair, where you take your family to go and see the agricultural exhibits, and to ride the fair's rides? Is it okay for Gay men, or Gay women to put on a little show for the benefit of your family?
