I think that if they gay community was less in your face about it, and more relaxed *asking rather than *demanding approval of their lifestyle, it would have passed (I mean, failed). I keep getting it mixed up that prop 8 was a negative proposal rather than an accepting proposal.

I think a lot of people may have voted YES, when they meant to vote NO, because of exactly what you found confusing about it. It was put together in a very confusing way.
As far as parades are concerned, do you know who tends to wear something flamboyant or half-naked in a parade? It doesn't matter if the parade is for something gay or straight or totally unrelated to sexual preference, it is for the most part single people who get dolled up and show off.
Married people don't have nearly the same motivation to get out there and strut their stuff. So, if you are actually bothered by seeing "in-your-face" gay parades, legitimizing gay marriage is your absolute best antidote.
