Hmm now I lived there, and personally I'm suprised but hey should be a non-issue.

I am very proud of my city today.

That her sexual preference was not a hindrance to democratic office is not
a victory for the equality of people, but a sign that the victory has already
been won.

Jolly good.

And what a total victory it is. Not many social groups have the power and status to bring city life to a halt when they want to have a parade, and not many other groups are getting so much media attention and get discussed in the media and school classes so frequently like gays, and not many groups can be so confident to acchieve a moral ban of any criticism of their behavior by calling it "discirmination", even if the criticism holds some truth.

Whenever I hear today of discrimination of gays in modern western societies, I must break out in laughter. On occasions the hetero majority gets discriminated over gay interests!

Wow. Looks like gay people are really making your life tough SB.

If all the discriminations against hetros' gets too much for you then you
should put on your most manly pair of lederhosen, find some buddies and
go on a hetro' pride march.

Simply gays: never. Freaks: yes.

And you know what? Damn many gays seem to see it that way, too!

Thats the point, you cant go to an hetero pride, white pride march etc. without being labelled as a gay hater or a racist.

In Finland the gay night clubs have rooms for casual intercourse, its part of their "culture".
If ordinary clubs had those they would be raided by the police very fast.

I am curious...

Was this a vote for Ms Parker or an Anti-Democrat vote?

If they do not parade with it and do not try to score by popinting out that they are gay, it shouldn'T be an issue, yes.

We have a gay mayor in Berlin, who unfortunatly is very populistic, craving for publicity, and has openly lobbied for gay's events, so his orientation is not an issue, but the way he tried to maike profit from it (that he is very left-leaning and also incompetent in running the city'S businesses does not help, too).

Current german foreign minister also is gay. Of course he had choosen his great day of gay pride and thought he must let all the world know about this happy circumstance some years ago, but beyond that he does not make a big deal of it.

Other gay members of parliament however take every opportunity to go on crusade even in foreign countries, like that idiot from the Greens who went to Russia or Poland or Ukraine, I forgot which country it was, to attend a gay march there - and then wondering that he got himself a bloody nose from riot police there. He probably overlooked that he was member of the German parliament only, and not member of the Ukrainean or Polish parliament.

Gays are not a problem. The gay freaks giving all gays a bad name - these are a problen, and often I take offence from their behavior.
