Philly Pride seeks court order to prevent 'Outfest' evangelism

The clarion blowers of 'tolerance' showing their intolerance?
I wish the headline would be more accurate, not all GAYS, many are living quiet lives, they do not protest, they have no agenda, and they want to be left alone. My nephew is gay and he never even talks about being gay. He tries to keep it as much a secret as he can, he doesn't want to be beaten up and made fun of. He lives in quiet obscurity as do his friends. It is the gay activist group who pushes this stuff, not all gays. I know several gay couples and they live quietly, and they don't go to protests or marches. They quite simply want to be left alone. I know one gay couple who has been together 35-40 years. Longer than most hetero marriages.
I thought the courts already ruled that the straights could not keep the gays out of their parades. So why should the gays be able to keep the straights out?

What court ruled that?
Sorry to hear about your nephew; hope he finds his way out of that — which is the hope that the "protestors" want to hold up at the "gay" rallies, evidently.

Not in Boston of all places. gays are not allowed to march in the S.Boston Saint Patrick day parade.
I thought the courts ordered that they be allowed in the last parade.
I understand they are 'blowers'.
I understand their cries, perhaps, could be considered 'clarion'.
But I ask you:
Is it RIGHT?
I didn't read anything about happy/gay people - I only read about perverted HOMOSEXUALS.
Get your language back from the perversions and re-definitions of the leftist radicals.
Not until the hate crime bills get passed, that is.
Well, they scream for us to 'tolerate' their behaviors and yet they don't want to have to 'tolerate' anything they disagree with.
So typical of the left. 'Free speech' means they say what they want and everyone else shuts up.
Exactly, Do not let them "RE-DEFINE" anything. Especially The Constitution, Perversion is not a civil right.
"People are tired of seeing them at our events, and it's becoming a safety issue," Price said. "They [protesters] are trying to incite a riot. Young people, especially, aren't used to them.
Sounds to me like the threat to public safety comes from the young people in the gay pride event, not the protesters.
Tolerance is a term that now means, "Shut up and be afraid of us, or we will go crying to the courts".
More word hijacking.
I actually agree with the gays here. We didn't want the Boy Scouts to be forced to admit gays, and we shouldn't turn around and demand that a gay gathering be forced to admit opponents - and that is what this group is doing, saying they will enter a private gathering against the wishes of the organizers.
Freedom of association is. The same right that allows the Boy Scouts to exclude gays also allows gays to exclude protestors. You can't have it both ways.
Bumper sticker quote of the day.
"Philly Pride" receives public money for their event, the Boy Scouts is a private organization. Besides, IMO this seems more like a free speech than a freedom of association issue.
