I'm from Moscow and I never met a gay, I don't like them and don't care about them at all.
lol.. Sorry. But you just
think so. (Creepy, isn't it?) It's probable that some of your friends are gay, or even family members, teachers.. THEY COULD BE EVERYWHERE!!! (As far as I remember, gays are pretty evenly spread out in all cultures. I don't think Russia is an exception.)
Thing is, they are not coming out, because that may not be the most productive thing for them to do in your country. Even in the west lots have a hard time coming out, and often never will. Because of family, because they hate themselves too much, because they don't want their father to get a heart attack. Many of the most die-hard gay haters are probably gay themselves and hate themselves for it. Why would they have such strong emotions about the subject if they were not?
As being a comfortably straight man myself, I don't see any problem at all with gays or gayness. They can do what they want for all I care.
Now, on the other hand, I do see problems with people suppressing their sexualities. Not always, but often it comes to the surface eventually, often perverted in the form of peadophilia/child abuse or worse. Just look at the catholic church.. Better to let them be free, find love and live their lives in peace like the rest of us.
Now, the parades are just a reaction to society and their struggle to be who they are.. A reaction. If society had never oppressed them, we may never had seen these parades in the first place.
(Also this is often a 1nce a year SHOW, their everyday lives are as dull as yours)
Still, the large gray mass of gays just live normal, manly lives and go fishing and hunting and listening to Metallica.. They are just normal people. And no, they are not interested in you, and they will never flirt with you. They are able to find each other.
In the end, more bitches for you.
