Speedo wearing whether we are straight or gay is essentially a masculine activity. Those who run and swim in their speedos want to look and feel fit.
I wonder how many camp and effeminate gay guys wear speedos on the beach and in the pool. perhaps they are more likely to be wearing frilly panties and other women's clothing in more private places.
Since the camp and fem guys are liable to be bullied whatever they do they tend to act outrageously when they do go out. A Gay Pride Parade becomes a festival of the outrageous and the exaggerated, the biggest queen the campiest camp and the most nearly naked.
A lot of straight acting gay guys avoid homophobes rather than be confronted by them by staying undercover. The Pride Parades are an embarrassment to them and if they see gay guys camping it up in speedos on a parade it brings their own wearing of speedos into question.
Remember other paraders will also be dressed as the various Village People. We don't get cowboys. red indians, police officers, construction workers, soldiers and sailors complaining about being depicted in gay parades, so be tolerant of the camp gays in their speedos on their big day Out.
