Actually, I think The Onion stated it correctly when they said that the crazy shit and crazy people that frequent those things are a pretty good reason why homosexuals are still not accepted. Some of those things are like freakshows from hell. I mean, you're going to stage a parade with huge penis floats and half-naked men in leather leading other half-naked men in leather on leashes like a dog and expect normal human beings to accept you as one of their own?

That said, it's not a push for acceptance, it's a push for political clout. Hell, if gays WERE accepted, they'd have to pretend they weren't, otherwise they'd be increasingly worthless as a political lobbying point. For examples, see NAACP.
