Pittsburgh TRIBUNE-REVIEW ^ | Thursday, June 17, 2004 | Gwen Arbuckle

Rainbow flags will add color to Saturday's Three Rivers Arts Festival and Bucs game scenes when local gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered Pittsburghers celebrate PrideFest 2004.

PrideFest 2004 is set for noon to 6 p.m. on the North Shore. The event is expected to draw as many as 2,000 revelers to the scheduled parade, festival and Pirates baseball game.

The day will be capped off by Pride Day at PNC Park where representatives from the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered community will hurl the ceremonial first pitch, kicking off play between the Pirates and the Seattle Mariners, Sette said.

First they will have to sort themselves out into who pitches and who catches.

Gay pride parades are a drag. No pun intended.

They'll probably just form a big circle around the fountain and...oh, never mind.

I hear that for the day the baseball team is going to adopt the name, the Pittsburg Butt-Pirates.

The more visible these folks are, the better. Give people a really close look at what "gay marriage" and such are really all about.

GLT (or whatever they are called) have bigger hype than turnout.

What an unpleasant and unfortunate metaphor to draw. I'm sure you didn't mean it that way and I'm not being rude, but the first 'terminix' company like that that came to mind for me was IG Farben.

I saw another FReeper say it in another thread.

When are we going to have a "Straight Pride" Day?

To that, I will add:

When is there going to be a "Euro-American History Month?"
How about a "Pride in Family Values" week?
National Association for the Advancement of White People?
How about teaching REAL HISTORY in the schools?

This gay movement needs to be widely exposed for what it really is, an attack on the very foundation of our society.

No it was not in my mind to equate the Terminix "BUG" company with a Nazi Chemical plant, but I stand my ground that Homosexuals with there Agenda and Parades are like Ants and Roaches, "BUGGING" everyone...
