I think it's a mistake to accept that-"not wanting to mix politics or whatever"-as the excuse. It's basic homophobia. I also reject the idea that the "act" of being homosexual is a political one. I would imagine you would look high and low before you found someone who "chose" to be gay for that reason. Like you, I would imagine that any number of banners at the parade *can* be read in a political context...
Well, (and I told you this earlier, but I think it bears repeating) I think it's a positive thing to celebrate who you are and where you come from. Those Irish Gays and Lesbians should have been allowed to participate.
