You can usually comment on articles posted in the website, but for this one, they turne off comments. I wonder why???

I'll be there with my favorite 36 Louisville Slugger to welcome them to town.

Not in my town, damnit.

Homosexuality and family are mutually exclusive.

Just how did these guys hijack the rainbow as thier emblem of gayness?

It's blasphemous. The rainbow signified a promise to Moses and future generations that the world wouldn't be destroyed by flood again.

The country is heading right to Hell.

God, I really do hate this sort of thing.

[the invisib1e hand]

OK. Now get the f%^& back in.

[ArrogantBustard]

Buggery itself is blasphemous ... it's a deliberate mockery of God, who made us male and female.

Sounds like fun. When are they having a celebration of the white heterosexual population?

How do you do that??

One of the gay communities greatest hypocrisies. What's next, Queers for Christ"? It's disgusting.

Check out TIDE's website.

[RexBeach]

Good question.

See, these meatheads think that God really didn't mean what said about homosexuality.

Boy, are these creeps in for a big surprise!

[tractorman]

I think you meant Noah.

" p.m.: "The Doors are Open!" Kickoff Party at Jack and Ron's Piano Bar, 104 S. Palafox St."

I wonder what kind of party they have planned for Rick and Ron's Organ Lounge?

[highimpact]

I live about 20 minutes from Pensacola Beach, and I've heard my neighbors talk about the things that happen during the queer festival. Disgusting homo's kissing and groping on the sand. Makes my stomach turn...

I sent those folks at TIDE a little loveletter. I doubt I will get a reply.

What's next Queers for Christ? (Lord forgive me). Is it not bad enough that you hijack our beaches and downtown on Memorial Day with your disgusting behavior? A day set aside to commemorate veterans that gave their lives in the defense of our country? Were a few of them gay? Probably, but that is not the point here. I am a two war vet and that is a very solemn day for me. I don't want to have to take my wife and children downtown or to the beaches to celebrate this day and see gays swapping spit or grubbing each other in public. I don't like seeing normal people doing it, much less homosexuals. Gone are the days of moral decency thanks to sexual deviants like you.

What you do behind closed doors is your business, you will be held accountable for it on your Judgment Day. But out in public you have a responsibility, like all citizens, to behave in a moral manner. Homosexual behavior is anything but moral. You call it "diversity", we call it "debauchery".

Do a little reading before you try to link "spirituality" and "faith" to homosexuality. And don't bother using your rationalizations or circular logic on it to justify it. It's in black and white.

This in Pensacola? Hard to imagine. The brief time I spent in the area left me with the impression of Pensacola as a very Christian/Conservative area. The beach crowd, sure, they are a bunch of liberals. The people putting this on must represent a radical fringe.

They have a yahoo group as well:
