I don't understand the reasoning that just because you have seen men wearing speedos in a Gay Parade means they are an extraordinary and exclusive symbol of the "Gay Scene" and men in main stream society should reject them as a form of fetish wear.
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?
