I was never taught white history. Only American history, which occasionally did mention blacks. Then we were also taught a lot of International history - Greeks, Romans, China, Africa, etc.

Right, but plenty of people **cough**therepublicanparty**cough** go out of their way to publicly condemn gayness; the "I'm gay and proud" thing is a reaction to that. There was no such thing as Pride Parades until after the Stonewall riots (which were provoked by constant police raids on gay bars).

Right there are plenty of people in the **cough**republicanparty**cough** that don't give a rats ass what gays do like the **cough**vicepresident**cough** and plenty of **cough**demoncrats**cough** that don't follow the gay pride agenda. **cough**JohnKerry**cough** has said he doesn't support Homosexual marriges. To me I don't see why it should even be a issue the federal Government has no reason to be involved in it.

Then you should vote for John Kerry. He has said he doesn't support gay marriage? What does this mean? No federal government involvement. Bush wants to write a ban into the Constitution, very much involving the federal government.

I'm not voting for John Kerry for other reasons I could care less what either party cares about Gay anything. Being gay doesn't make you something special I don't care what people do in their own beds. I think people would accept that fact that gays are a fact of life more if the gays toned down their gay pride parades and just lived like hetros.

She had a baby, then moved to Sunny 100 or one of those other "easy listening" channels.

Just remember that not everyone that thinks homosexuality is wrong is also a hate mongerer.

Liar.

People were calling in saying how appalling it is and how it is a disgrace. And the head DJ, Bob, was talking about "They have their Gay Pride Parades, why can't we have our Heterosexual Pride Parade?? They flaunt it, why can't we?"



Opinions???:p


I totally agree with the DJ.

I am proud of my gayness. It takes a lot of guts to look at a hairy butt and get turned on...

How is it any different from being proud to be an American ("I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free . . . ")? We didn't take any heroic actions to be born where we were, any more than homosexuals took any actions to become gay. If anything I can see them taking some pride in openly identifying themselves as gay in the midst of a culture that is frequently homophobic.

I fully support a heterosexual pride parade. As long as the members of it admit to being beaten up by oppressive gangs of homosexuals growing up or told their way of living was wrong. It will be the smallest parade ever.

Maybe they don't want to? Maybe you live a boring life that they don't want to mimic? Maybe they should have freedom of self expression?

"I would accept you if you just acted like I want you to act..." Give me a break.

I am proud of being able to admit I am gay. It took a lot of courage and the work of many before me. I risked being disowned by my family, looked down to at work, and attacked by random strangers.

Hey, I fixed your gay joke mwilding.

If everyone really had that opinion it would be a non issue :). Unfortunatly enough people care enough to say they are bothered by what others are doing.

She got fed up with working for a racist, homophobic co-hort that believed all bicyclists should be ran over, all Mexicans should drown and all Asians should go back to their own country.

She is at a soft music station now

He is proud of the achievements of the men who died, who gave that right to him. It says so in the next line. And the fact that they were american, and so is he. Other than that, it's just lyrics for a song.

LOL, I remember him saying something about a Mexican in a grocery store. I can't remember exactly what it was all about (I think it had something to do with his wife), but I remember him wanting to whoop his ass :p

I don't see any problem with it, as long as they aren't *bashing* homosexuality. Of course, it affects me in no way, so I don't really care that much. ;)

You'd feel the same, of course, if this was a homosexual pride parade, correct?

Right, because us heteros are told to be ashamed to be digging the opposite sex and stuff. Seriously, dude, why don't you just come out and say that you don't like gays, instead of hiding behind this pride BS? It seems to me like gay pride parades and this so-called hetero pride parade are being carried out with very different intentions.
