Homosexuals celebrate in ravaged New Orleans
WND ^ | tember 6, 2005 | By Joe Kovacs

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."

More of a judgment on stupidity than on iniquity, maybe.

Of course, they were born this way. Lots of people like to think about sticking their sexual organs into a mix of fecal discharge and infected blood while prancing amidst dead people. I was walking past a pile of excrement yesterday, and I had such an urge to stick my private organ in it, that I only wished I was in New Orleans at the time so I could complete the act while dancing among the dead.

These people are SICK!

yes, this is sarcasm, but it shows what they want us to "accept".

Can the cops in Lafayette arrest them if they act up there? Regardless of their sexual orientation, they still should not be allowed to flaunt and display their sexual activities in public. Or is Lafayette part of the NO vice cesspool as well?

Picture of Menold at this link.

These people are crazy, period, to try to be celebrating in a town with no electricity and no running water.

"...how about putting the sodomy aside for just a wee bit and pitching in. People are still dying in your city."

Because that would mean they actually and truly gave a damn about someone else instead of just other faggots. These queers are showing their true self. Let them continue to destroy themselves as they show the world what they are really about.

Utter depravity. They seek carnal pleasure in the face of massive catastrophe. They are beneath animal instinct.

The destruction and filth of the city can easily be overlooked by a victorious AIDS raveged queer population that can now occupy and do as they please.

Oh, I can imagine CNN's tagline: "A ray of hope springs eternal from some brave, trail-blazing homo-Americans...." (BARF).

Seriously, my opinion of the left is changing somewhat - I've previously seen them simply as deranged and dangerous - but lately I've been thinking how incredibly, unspeakably immature they are as well - like 5 year olds in a schoolyard, hitting out at Bush because that's all they know how to do, and, when faced with a crisis, bawling like little kids in front of the cameras, blaming everything on their "parents" (with George Bush taking the role of Big Daddy) for everything, and refusing to deal in anyway with anything that smacks of responsibility or initiative.

As for the parading gays... well, they're only a teeny step away from a one year old, who would smear it's own feces in a wall, smile and think: "Look what I did!! Isn't that great?!"

I had the misfortune of encountering that event several years go. An erstwhile GF and I decided to go to NO over Labor Day weekend not knowing about “Southern Decadence.”

Words fail to fully describe what I witnessed; guys in drag, guys showing their junk, guys fondling each other, IN PUBLIC.

We left with all due haste and I clung to my GF for her protection and as a talisman of heterosexuality

Actually many of the 'straight' prisoners want to use them for sex, claiming that they aren't gay, only their partners are.
It's a relatively common claim of 'straight' black prisoners.
