• Deconstructed: Someone argues that Pride parades do nothing but glorify stereotypes of sexual and gender minorities, and don't do enough to focus on "normal" members of the community.
• Reconstructed: Someone else retorts that a parade of gay accountants would be immensely boring, and would be more about fitting in than showcasing diversity.
