You can help me by giving me your money. I don't want your advice.

lol. What you are being offered is worth more then money. Peace of mind, empathy and acceptance of others is a high value item that is in short supply.

I'm guessing your answer would be no. If you live in or around NYC and saw this parade, believe me you wouldn't want your kids to be around. It's one thing to be proud of being gay (whatever that means). But it's entirely something else to see men and "women" doing everything except penetrating each other. If this was any other day of the year, these people would be arrested for lewd conduct or fornicating in a public area.

I just don't understand how behaving like this in front of the general public shows your pride.

Well, considering I entered this thread making the exact same argument, you are the one trying to divert.

As I told you, it isn't about pride. It's about shoving your disgust up your ass. You want to shove your disgust down their throats and they want to shove it down yours. In either case it's your disgust you're choking on. As long as disgust is the log in your eye disgust is what you will see. You will offend yourself all your life, as is your emotional need. You love being offended so you can feel your moral outrage and your own fancied superiority. Your right hand may as well feel superior to your left hand, but your left hand is still you. You feel superior to what disgusts you but your disgust and you are the same thing. Your disgust exists nowhere else but in your own head.

it's pretty unwholesome, but you've got the option to remove yourself from the enviornment.

I wouldn't put it above and beyond what you'd see walking down Bourbon Street on any week night.

I don't understand the ... He spoke what he believes. What is wrong with that? Does anyone think that homosexuality is natural and what was intended by nature? I don't. Nature intended all species to procreate and thrive. There is no way to procreate as a homosexual. He said the children shouldn't be brainwashed into thinking ... Children shouldn't be brainwashed period. If you want to be gay fine. I have no problems with it. Should they be allowed to adopt children ... I'm not sure how I feel about this. I tend to think no. How ever they should be allowed to raise their natural children.

The mentioning of the gay pride parades... have you seen one of these horrid displays... I have seen two in San Francisco and both had gays rubbing and groping on each other and most were barely clothed. Children should not see Hetero or Homo sexuals in this manner.

lol... if a gay person wants to procreate, they sure as hell can. And They've been doing it for thousands of years.

Gays are perfectly natural. Just like blondes are perfectly natural. Or people with blue eyes. Or gingers. Or freckles.

Technically, these could be considered a "defect" because it doesn't allow one to thrive as well in all conditions. It really doesn't matter because homosexuality, for some reason, serve a purpose and has not died out. Just like redheads serve a purpose and have not died out.

have you ever seen 2 male dogs next to each other?

I didn't say it doesn't happen I said I don't think it is what nature intended for any species. All life forms are meant to procreate and thrive the species. Two Homosexuals cannot complete this function.

That being said. I don't care if you want to be a homosexual or not as long as it is not paraded in my face or my families go for it.

Gay pride parades IMO ( from the ones I have seen ) should be banned and anyone gay or not acting this way in public should be arrested for public Indecent behavior. I do not understand the need for gays to parade on the streets this way. It is offensive to most IMO.

Sure they can, they can adopt the kids from the failed heterosexual relationships.

They cannot procreate without assistance. K Or have they found a way for a gay dude to pop a baby out of his ass? I'll need a pic to back that up. :)

Gays are perfectly natural. Just like blondes are perfectly natural. Or people with blue eyes. Or gingers. Or freckles.

They happen but that doesn't make them Natural. Snakes with two heads still occur, but that doesn't make it natural.

Most traits do not allow one to thrive IN ALL CONDITIONS. Duh.

What is the purpose of homosexuality? Not Joking. I want to hear this.
