I think handing out safety leaflets at a parade of any kind is a waste of time and money. People are out and about to enjoy the day and the celebrations, not to read safety pamphlets. I imagine many of them would end up being litter in the streets or filling the trash cans.
Refusing to hand out information because it was a Gay Pride parade is just silly...sounds like a bunch of homophobes to me! And for the person who said why do they have a parade? Why shouldn't they? I've been to several Gay Pride parades...they are a ton of fun and the creativity involved is amazing!!! It's nothing more than a celebration of life and the gathering of folks who are walking similiar paths...it's too bad that people have issues with this.
