Yeah they do...they even have to parade in Jerusalem every year.
I would not care so much if it wasn't for damn traffic jams.
I mean common... get rooms lol

Allowing homosexual couples to marry in no way infringes on the civil rights of others, so I say let them have it.

I think gay people are equal.
Do what you want. You want equality right?

So give up the parade garbage, and prancing through midtown Manhattan with backside (***)-less chaps.

You want to be equal at least try to conform to societal norms. People would be more embracing of it, were it not for the more flamboyant.

Go ahead call me an insensitive bigoted moron. I just don't want it in my face.

Unprotected class white males do not have parades, nor hate crime laws to protect us, here in PC America.

I tend to agree about the flamboyance, but back when they did try to conform to the societal norms they were treated like lepers and worse.

Don't want it in your face? Avoid the parades. I hate seeing two guys kissing on one of my favorite TV shows, so I find myself closing my eyes a lot. The show's too good otherwise to just not watch it.

Every year, one of my local television stations breaks in with two painful hours of Saint Patrick's Day parade coverage, complete with lengthy diatribes by only the most hardcore Irish-Americans, detailing the struggles of Irish Catholics in America and how they used to protect churches. Now, if we are going to put the lid on celebrations of gay pride, we must also do the same things for Irish pride. I imagine that Columbus Day and Oktoberfest celebrations should also be reigned in. Fair is fair.

I suppose. Tradition is tradition.

I humbly retract.

Nah, your view is as valid as mine. And I do agree in that I find the leather and short-shorts kind of ridiculous. Of course, I also find Irish stepdance equally ridiculous, so to each their own.

My post was kinda on the blunt side. I got no malice towards these people.

I guess my point was that alot of folks would have less a problem with it, if the loud minority among them didn't find the most extravagant ways to flaunt it.

I guess some are trolls, and all it does is hurt their cause.

Change the channel.

While in SFO and on Market Street about 8 years ago, I had the unfortunate experience of seeing one of these "homo pride" parades going by. I saw public nudity, and some other perversions I wouldn't post here. Ever heard of the "Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence"? Yuck! Simply put, I don't think Irish Catholics in their cultural heritage parades and these gay fests are comparable.

yup, clearly not comparable!

and though you have a stricter moral code in the US regarding public displays of flesh, I really don't think that you won't find any women who flash their tits at SPD in Boston...

As other have said before: if you don't like the Dallas Cowboys, don't attend their parade.




(edit: lol @MH, this reminds me of the German saying: Two idiots, one thought)

[mookiemookie]

Then there's parades like the annual Fantasy Fest in Key West. There's some saggy old boobs covered by nothing but body paint on display there. Yeccch.

Well no they really aren't comparable unless you count momentary flashing of a breast to be the same as oral sex being performed right out there on the curb for everyone to see.

Point taken, but on the other hand would it be appropriate to have a tribute to the New England Patriots in the Dallas Cowboy parade? If gays want their own parade let them organize their own parade. They shouldn't be crashing that of others.

Yup. Absolutely not comparable. Where's the public nudity and sex acts? Where's the gross public bodily fluid discharges? Where are the BDSM acts? Where are the sex toy demos? Where is the public m*****bation? You can find all that at a "homo pride" parade in Frisco.

What I see here are three girls walking in skimpy outfits. I've seen girls dressed in less during a day at the beach.
