Despite the devastation and ongoing suffering by thousands from Hurricane Katrina, homosexuals paraded on Bourbon Street in New Orleans over the weekend, and have rescheduled their "Southern Decadence" event for tomorrow.
"It's New Orleans, man. We're going to celebrate," Matt Menold, a 23-year musician wearing a sombrero and a guitar slung on his back, told the Associated Press.
An account of the small parade on the homosexual newssite 365gay.com noted: It was a scene like something from a Fellini movie. Amid the death, the destruction, and suffering in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina a small parade behind a tattered rainbow flag made its way up Bourbon Street on Sunday. The marchers said they were celebrating Southern Decadence. The group – about two dozen people – all said they lived in the largely gay French Quarter. Defiant, they said they were not about to flee the community despite orders from the city to do so.
One marcher carried a sign proclaiming, "Life Goes On?"
"The shocking callousness of New Orleans' gay activists towards the severe suffering of its fellow citizens cannot be adequately articulated in a news report," says James Hartline, a former homosexual, who describes the "Southern Decadence" festival as being "replete with tens of thousands of men and women engaged in public nudity, prostitution, illegal drug use and destructive public S & M sex."
"The idea that human beings are continuing to party while hundreds of thousands of fellow citizens are starving, dying and suffering from a multitude of sicknesses brings into focus the real lack of judgment that these constant advocates of special gay rights demonstrate in a time of crisis."
According to Agape Press, Hartine himself has AIDS and is now warning homosexuals about the consequences of their lifestyle.
As WorldNetDaily previously reported, Hurricane Katrina walloped New Orleans just two days before the annual homosexual "Southern Decadence" festival was to begin in the town, an act characterized by some as God's work.
The event has been slated to go on tomorrow in the nearby town of Lafayette, La., featuring "Floatin' Floozies," according to the event's website.
As writer John d'Addario explained in "Southern Decadence 2005: A How-To Guide" posted on FrenchQuarter.com:
Parades and non-stop parties aside, Southern Decadence may be most famous (or infamous) for the displays of naked flesh which characterize the event – which is only fitting, since New Orleans in early September is generally the closest thing you'll ever experience to walking around in a steambath outside of a health spa. While police have started to crack down on public lewdness and pressure from a local crackpot conservative religious organization has caused the five-day festival to become a little more sedate than it was in years past, the atmosphere of Southern Decadence has stayed true to its name and public displays of sexuality are pretty much everywhere you look. The event has been endorsed by Mayor Ray Nagin, who promoted the activities in a letter stating: "There is no place like this on Earth! Southern Decadence XXXII is an exciting event. We welcome you and know that you can anticipate great food, great music and great times in New Orleans."
O.K....let the fags have it.....flooded homes and all...just tell those rump riders ...no one will bail them out when disease starts killing them all.....
Oh yeah, it already happened at the "Rodney King" trial.
There still might be a few more major calamities to wake up the people in America, prior to their appearance. My money is on San Francisco, especially if gay marriage is legalized.
Luke 10
8 And into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you:
9 And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
10 But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say,
11 Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
12 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city.
The event has been endorsed by Mayor Ray Nagin, who promoted the activities in a letter stating: "There is no place like this on Earth! Southern Decadence XXXII is an exciting event. We welcome you and know that you can anticipate great food, great music and great times in New Orleans."
So not only is Mayor Nagin incompetent, he's a sicko too! Why doesn't that surprise me?
Maybe he got a thrill out of all this suffering while he was holed up at the Hyatt?
And...did this happen prior to the Hurricane? Did it also happen in MS? In Alabama? Surely I would have seen something about that on this site?
Do you think the gumball machine at post 39 will be looted?
I'm rather surprised Fred Phelps hasn't shown up yet. He does have a rather appropriate ZIP code.It's inevitable that he will show up somewhere with signs saying "Thank God For Katrina" or some such thing.
Am I the only one who thinks this is much ado about nothing? So a couple dozen people had a small parade in order to flip the proverbial bird to the storm. It's not a whole lot different from a "hurricane party" or football fans making a point of tailgating in a blizzard.

I've never tailgated in a blizzard.
Having once stumbled accidentally on Boston's "gay pride" parade,I must ask:was this scumbag wearing anything other than a sombrero and a guitar?
We saw our good-hearted soldiers carrying the stick-figures with AIDS to safety in the capitol of Southern decadence this week. Homosexuality is a repugnant life-style.
I can't quite believe that God's hand was punishing all of New Orleans. In the old testament, He only did that when there was not one righteous person.I have yet to say any of the "Katrina Was God's Judgement" crowd explain why the French Quarter (being on higher ground) was largely spared. Either their Deity has bad aim, or he wasn't involved.

Necrophiliacs will have a HUGE contingent in this parade..
Gallows humour, wouldn't you say old chap.
Well, as long as everything is going to hell, they might as well drink.
Bottoms Up!
Spot on!
Gagggg, I couldn't believe that even Nagin would be so dense as to issue this statement this short a time after Katrina. Maybe one of his lackeys with his signature stamp. Nawlins until further notice is not a party town, it's a get-out-of town.
I've never tailgated in a blizzard.It's not uncommon. I went to a Browns game in late 1999 where it was snowing pretty hard and the wind was coming in right off the lake. There were still a lot of us tailgating before the game.
It's a "transcending the elements" type of thing, I suppose.
