As long as pride parades show guys flaunting their bodies in speedos you are going to have many equate speedos with gay. I find these displays disguting and in your face-don't know what they are trying to prove-I swim laps in speedos all the time and that's what they are for-not strutting and pawing each other in a parade.

Yes, I have long felt that the shock tactics employed have a great and undesirable rebound effect but they continue in some annual pride parades. Maybe the attitude is "we have nothing to lose if we are sneered at so often already " but the spectacle is reminiscent of the medieval freak shows which would attract crowds for some diverting amusement (entirely the wrong level at which to secure better public tolerance of course).
Maybe I am pessimistic but I fear that the gay-only perception of speedos is going to take a very long time to eradicate.

I wear speedos most of the time when swimming at my health club, but put shorts over them at family oriented swimming facilities. Many times, being with families I'll wear board shorts, to calm their homophobia. I'll wear my speedo swim briefs a lot during the summer months as underwear too. i really like wearing them. It's too bad, that so many American families with growing young and teenage boys put them in such an awkward situation as to their sexuality. The young women and many girls wear bikini swim suits that show so much of them, looking like young girl's underwear. If a girl or young woman wears a one piece bright colored swim suit, they too old fashioned or prudish, not showing enough of their bodies. When I lived in Europe, especially in France and Italy, men of all ages wore speedo swim suits and some women and girls, wore very pretty one piece swim suits at times. What men and women wore on or to the beaches in these countries, is not an issue for them. I felt great wearing my favorite speedo briefs at the beaches or swim clubs there. I'm a bit older now, yet still in good shape. I go swimming, as often as I can and still fit in speedo swim briefs wearing them often during the warm summer months.

Eddie, is funny and freak that in recent years as menswear begging to be large and baggy but the womenswear begging to be shorted. Talking to very young people (under 25 years) many of them they think that this was always like now, and them they consider “the rule” o “The normal” is for a guy cover all the male body (more than the women) also they think “be a guy covered” (more covered than a girl) always was the rule..... a lot of guy think take off the t-shirt in a hit day at the streets is gay......

LOL - whatever happened to the lighting?

Like the Str8 scene, the gay scene is also loaded with eroticism and very body centric. Accordingly, it embraces many ordinary everyday "symbols" such as wearing jeans, T-shirts, sneakers, leather, body building, salacious dancing and poses, and just about anything else that seems like a turn on.

So if you selectively pick out any particular form of behavior (such as wearing speedos) as being a symbol of the "Gay Agenda" and don't want to associate yourself with it, then I'd say you're a bit homophobic.

Just to be curious, when you saw guys wearing speedos in the gay parade, how did you come to view it in the first place? Did you attend the parade in person or just watch it on the news?

I agree with you California Dolphin. I still don't understand how wearing a Speedo brief makes someone gay .
