I find it bizarre to have parades gay or straight about ones sexual preferences. Certainly not something worthy of having pride in.

I don’t understand what was inaccurate about the title?

Seems to have boiled down to whether a city permit for the parade in question had or would be issued. As we see in the debate over illegal immigration whether the government provides "permission" for something to happen has little bearing on whether it happens or not.

It's easy to have simple thoughts when you choose to remain profoundly ignorant of history and, on things you choose to comment, why those things are exactly why they are, and why you don't understand them.

Can you imagine how bloody lame a straight pride parade would be!?

I don't understand how you stand around playing cornhole or beer pong all day long and drinking shitty domestic light beer, while supposedly having to be in a parade at the same time. But I guess that is what they are thinking.

FWIW, the parades now often encompass trans people too. IIRC you're pretty much fine with gays, but very much not fine with trans people, so we continue to need to have parades saying that just because you're a shit person we're not going to be ashamed of ourselves.

I'm too lazy to go to this group's shitty website, could anyone care to tell me how they see hetrosexuals are oppressed today?

Thats a nobrainer man .. with all the open gay shit in MSM you are getting force fed cocks in anuses all day all week .. its disgusting and unnatural and poor baby Jesus cries. Also my life sucks and I need someone to take it out on.

I mean they could probably put that on a float. Its going to engender more of a "God, look at those poor fucks" reaction from the public than a "Look at how these people have overcome persecution and intolerance in a positive way" reaction though.

I’m fine with trans people too, its not something that should be pushed onto kids though.
