Well I'm sure it gets the point out. But as for people taking it seriously, I'm not sure. In my opinion, you won't be taken seriously if you don't show everyone else that you somewhat respect their opinion too. I say somewhat because sure, some people that don't support what you believe in are disrespectful, but some aren't. For example, if this parade got out of hand with people going crazy, like if it included violence, then I would lose my respect for them. But that's not the case for it, so I don't mind. I don't support gay marraige, but I don't want to run someone else's life either.
