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.

“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.

thanks for the number, I called.

Told them Disney used to be family friendly, parades used to be family friendly and since Homosexuals are only 1.2% of the US population we don’t don’t need their asses in our children’s faces!

I’m done with this tiny minority, don’t care what you do in the bedroom but when it is in the children’s faces and schools, THAT IS TOO MUCH!

Stand up and take our country back!
