The same Disney that suspended 'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson from its A&E network for expressing his religious views about homosexuality (until being forced to reverse it after a massive viewer revolt), clearly has no problem pushing the homosexual agenda in the faces of millions of Americans who watch the annual Tournament of Roses Parade on its ABC network on New Year's Day.

That's right. Two Los Angeles men plan to celebrate their "gay marriage" on a float in this year's parade in Pasadena, California. The move has understandably sparked controversy and even a boycott.

Danny Leclair, 45, and Aubrey Loots, 42, will marry “atop a giant wedding cake-shaped float” sponsored by the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, according to the Pasadena Star-News.

“Love comes in many forms and should be honored and should be celebrated,” Leclair told the Star-News, echoing the float’s theme, “Love is the Best Protection.”

But San Diego resident Karen Grube told the Star-News that the Tournament of Roses shouldn’t be involved in an outside group’s “political agenda.”

“Gay marriage is illegal in over 30 states. Why would they promote something that is blatantly illegal?” Grube said. “That’s just stupid.

She has launched a Facebook page, “Boycott the 2014 Rose Parade,”telling people to contact parade organizers and sponsors to ask that the float be removed.

“It used to be a family thing, to get up on New Year’s Day morning and watch the parade,” Grube said. “It no longer is.”

Disney's promotion of the homosexual agenda at the Rose parade follows the ABC Network leading off this year's Thanksgiving Day Parade with a drag queen dancing performance -- outraging millions of American parents.

Rose Parade officials issued a statement to the Star-News saying:

Hope the float is met with duck calls all along the parade route.

As the popular culture degrades, public demonstrations have to become more and more outrageous to ensure that there is an audience.

the homosexual float is supposed to be towards the end at around the 9:OO-9:30 time.

Halmark channel is playing this sexual deviancy.

(footnote: Google is pushing homosexual marriage in their year in review advertisement in theater trailer sequences.)

For those who have dvr’s which are hooked up to phone/dsl/internet, if you v-chip the program that data is recorded and goes to the neilson rating system)

lack of viewers means lack of dollars.

what next? the sister wives float? the animal marriage float?

I hope the word is getting out. Parents need to be notified. A lot of kids watch this parade.
If parents wanted their kids to watch a homo parade, they'd take them to watch a homo parade.

If AIDS is supposedly a heterosexual disease as well, why is the AIDS Health Foundation sponsoring a gay couple to marry on their float?

The intent is to shove it in your face,
to tell you that you MUST accept them.

Well, we’ll let them know that we DON’T HAVE TO accept their perversion,
and while we are able to, we’ll choose other avenues of entertainment.

Ironic it is sponsored by the AIDS group. Even when "coupled," many gays are WILDLY promiscuous. But let's pretend that if only gays everywhere can " marry" it will be the end of AIDS.

"Love" comes in many forms. Pedophilia, incest, bestiality, necrophilia...

I am so sick of ABC/Disney and their pushing the homosexual agenda on everyone. I no longer watch local ABC except for the news. I am about to delete it all together.

Now what could possibly be offensive about gays participating in a parade?

Does ABC control the parade? or is the rose committee in control of it and ABC just has a broadcast agreement. (remember other cable channels will be showing it too)

If you really want to hurt them, tell the rose bowl football organizers they are just and guilty.
