Gay Pride Parade Commentary

[Oddball]

Are you saying that Gay People haven't done anything of relative historical value?

I'm saying that those fests are about individuals who did something specific, not a general public carrying-on session centered around behavior over which you have no control.

C'mon, Dude! Have you ever been to a St. Patricks Day Parade?

Yes. I've seen them...Still, the point stands.

I'm not arguing the "gay" part here. It's the "pride" thing that I don't get....Especially when it's centered around a behavior that's really none of my business in the first place.

All parades have been a celebration of pageantry, the "pride" parade is suppose to be about equality and taking pride in one's self regardless of adversity.

It's about taking pride in common humanity and making fun of what straight people fear.

Equality is a myth...Time to get past it.

Taking pride in absence of any accomplishment, IM not-at-all HO, debases the term and emotion.

Could you be just a little more nebulous?

Equality under the law is not a myth, and like MLK they accomplished one more step toward it.

What's the point in being proud of something over which you have no control?

I mean really....I can see being proud of doing an exceptional job at work or building a successful business, but running around parading out in the streets what you do (we hope) in the privacy of your own home is something to be proud of?

And on top of that, I thought a person's sex life is nobody's business but their own....Yet, on this particular occasion, we have people waving their private sex lives around in everyone's faces?

I don't get it....And don't ask me to.

You never see any 'straight pride parades'.

Nah, that's for Lent.

Damn it, I want a straight pride parade! Get out on the float with pasties on my tatas and have at it!

That's qualified and specific, which your original statement was not.

Well, gays & lesbians are no longer getting their meeting places raided, have to suffer booking, fingerprinting and arrest just for being gay, placed in mental institutions, have to undergo forced lobotomies and other draconian "cures," authorities are much less inclined now to 'look the other way' when gays are beaten to a pulp or worse, killed, by gay bashers...

many places can no longer fire you just because you are gay,
children of homosexuals are generally not taken away from them anymore, never to be allowed to see them again,
overwhelming pressure from society to enter into a false marriage for cover does not commit nearly as many people to live a lie in sham relationships,
many less gays and lesbians than in the past fear being disowned by family and shunned by friends and coworkers when it is discovered they are gay...

All in all, being allowed to Be Who You Are, has become acceptable, without shame and needlessly suffering under institutionalized prejudice - to the point where they are now allowed to legally adopt, be recognized as spouses in domestic partnerships, with many of the rights that encompasses, and even legally marry the person they love in a number of states now...

Yes, all in all - that is accomplishment. And of you can't understand that, then you have absolutely no understanding of the history, and the civil rights victories,
of gays and lesbians

Neither do people with Down syndrome...You sure you wanna go in that direction?

Much of that "accomplishment" is part and parcel to cultural shift more than anything gays have done.

And nobody gives you your rights.

As someone who has participated in a gay pride parade I can tell you first hand that I dont understand the graphic sexual undertones to it. Since when does walking around half naked, displaying how worthy you are to f*** make you proud?

Its actually quite appalling, and I think the gay community better lose that aspect of itself, if it wants to be considered mainstream and not a bunch of sex crazed fruits.

That is my commentary on the pride parade.

Overall Its more about displaying your sexual prowess then stating your pride, and lets not forget capitalism. Since they allow a lot of vendors to sell food, merchandise and other items.

Im martin Barken and thats my commentary on the gay pride parade

What Homos do in their Homo parade, is just confirming what the mainstream population thinks about Homosexuals. That they are mentally ill individuals, acting out
on a sexual perversion. Homosexuality must be criminalized. These, Homosexuals, and lesbians must be removed from the society. Many countries throughout the rest of the world has criminalized Homosexuality. These countries are wise enough to see this
mentally deranged perversion for what it really is, criminally insane offense, punishable by imprisonment, hanging, or mutilation, and or incineration.

And to think that America, has allowed this scurge to florish.?! I see a day in the future when Homosexuality will be banned in America.! This will be for the betterment of the entire society. Look at what happened to the Greeks, and the Romans, when they allowed Homosexuality to spread in their society. They quickly degenerated, and were then overrun by barbarians, and their societies all collapsed .

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I do. Are you comparing gays and lesbians to those who are born with the chromosomal, developmental disability known as Downs Syndrome?

That cultural shift was brought on by the brave gays and lesbians who did things like fight back at Stonewall, not backing down when they were told to STAY IN THE CLOSET, and fighting tooth and nail for the rights they enjoy today.

Cultural shift my ass! It didn't happen on its own. who the fuck do you think made it happen??

Jesus Fuckin Christ 52nd! Really? What are your emigration plans for when that happens? Any ideas on where you'll go?

Hopefully this gay freedom is just a phase.

Some day people will wake up to the homo plague that is infesting our nation and force these perverts back into the closet where they belong.

I am not a Homo like you, so I don't have to go anywhere. The homo marriage laws
should have allowed you to get married to you homo mate, so why don't you just get married, and jam the corn cobs up you know where.
