[@Buddha]Got you. Idk if its paid by the government in America. I want to say it isn't and other than the actual parade in and of itself on a specific day I want to say its all pretty confined here. At least, the one in NYC. I didn't get to go because my parents were worried what would happen since it was rather close (sort of) to the Orlando shooting. But from what I looked at their schedule. It was all pretty confined. Can't say that Pride isn't sexual but kamasutra is 100% so I see why that would be confined. I do get your point though but perhaps pride is different in Amsterdam than it is in America. I'm actually really curious about it now.
