Every year the Stanford mens swim team runs around the campus in speedos, jump in the fountains, pose in speedos in front of monuments, takes a quick dash through the campus bookstore.
Is what those guys do any less offensive, or maybe they have a right to express their "freedom" more than men in a gay parade? What are the Boston Red Speedo run every christmas.
