1st amendment. As long as they aren't "shouting FIRE in a crowded theater" necessary has nothing to do with it.
I think the intent is to expose children to people who look different from what the kids are used to.
I grew up on the west side of LA. Lots of gay people and lots of homophobes. There was a lot of peer pressure from the surfing crew I hung out with at the beach, so I as a kid I mimicked their homophobic crap, "talking shit" about the gay people who frequented the south end of "our beach" (localism is still a 'thing' in surfing).
When I started working and traveling and meeting a lot of people outside my circle of high school and surfing friends, I realized the gay people around the world don't deserve the crap they get from so many people. Hopefully the events to which you object expose people to the reality that LGBTQ are not what's wrong with the world.
But why not do the same with midgets - excuse me, little people; circus freaks; very obese and so on?
Some of of them have had their problems with a-holes too.
Maybe LP CF VO should be added to the alphabet soup of anti-bigotry events and promotions.
That's a lot of letters. How SBAA instead? Stop Being An A--hole.
My family and friends in the bay area are fed up with bigots, anti-semites, and the common criminals breaking car windows.
