A float in New York City's widely watched Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade will feature an open celebration of gay marriage, unless parade officials step in to block the performance.
Writing on the op-ed page of Wednesday's New York Times, Broadway star Harvey Fierstein announced that he'll be cross-dressed as Mrs. Santa Claus on a float dedicated to his hit Broadway show "Hairspray."
"According to legend, New York lore and two major Hollywood flicks, Macy's Santa is the real deal," Fierstein began, before dropping his bombshell news. "And tomorrow, to the delight of millions of little children [not to mention the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court], the Santa in New York's great parade will be half of a same-sex couple."
The actor continued:
"And guess who the other half will be? Me! Harvey Fierstein, nice Jewish boy from Bensonhurst, dressed in holiday finery portraying the one and only Mrs. Claus."
Early morning reaction to Fierstein's revelation was strongly negative, with even gay and lesbian callers to WABC Radio's Curtis & Kuby Show denouncing the stunt as inappropriate.
Co-host Curtis Sliwa predicted that either city or parade officials will step in to block the politicization of the traditional holiday event.

If there are any gay lurkers reading this thread, know this. Jesus is not just a name or a doctrine. He is alive. He knows your every thought, heartache, dispair, hopes, everything. He knows everything about you. He loves you, period, no strings attached. Talk to Him and find out for yourself the enormous love, and healing power that is His alone. He's waiting to hear from you.

Here it is, dead.
This is the equivalent of Macy's CEO mooning a crowd of families and kids and demanding that they kiss his arse. Line forms to the right.

That would be a good point, if it had anything to do with anything in anyway.
But it doesn't. I guess you just rushed to judgement because you couldn't wait to post something naughty about kissing a naked man's ass. (Whatever gets you through the night, I guess.)
Macy's CEO has not even had a chance to respond to this, yet. I'll withhold judgement until then and save my disgust for the person who actually has done something despicable here -- Harvey Fierstein. (Oh, and the NY Times, who gave him a forum.)

Denial. With that level of denial, you'll be the one kissing a mistaken arse nocturnally.

Your fixation with lips and men's asses just gets stranger and stranger with each passing post.

Does anyone watch that thing anymore? Its become pure crap since Maureen and Natalie left it.
To: truthandlife
Let them run it and publisise it. Until middle America gets slapped in the face we will continue to get this live and let live crap.If the news media didn't censor the Gay Pride parades people would understand we are dealing with degenerates not the boys next door.

Popular opinion doesn't matter, remember? Judges, politicians, actors.. they know what's right and wrong and what we need..Oh absolutely! What they do in the privacy of their own parade is nobody's business.

Strange is the reason you run to defend the perverts on parade.

Does anyone watch that thing anymore? I've never cared for it, myself. It's been the same for as long as I can remember. I think the only reason people watch it is they are hoping that the Garfield or Snoopy ballon gets loose and creates havoc.
