I was driving from Orlando on business when I heard a local talk show host warning everyone not to go to Disney World that week because it was “Gay Pride Week” in the Magic Kingdom. I surfed around and heard a Spanish language station giving exactly the same warning!

“Sus ninos no deben ver lo que va a pasar esta semana en el Reino Magico!!”

Back at the English station, fruity callers were screaming “you heterosexist pig!!” and “F&#$ing breeders!!” at the host. Others called in to say, “Thanks for the heads up!”

I had it gunned up to 85 by that time.

It was a private night, a Friday in the Fall after they had scaled down hours to just weekends.

Try calling the Magic Kingdom to find out when Gay Days at the park are. They act like you are from Mars for wanting to avoid them.

This, from the Onion article:

The Los Angeles Gay Pride Parade, Thorne noted, is part of a decades-old gay-rights tradition. But, for mainstream heterosexuals unfamiliar with irony and the reclamation of stereotypes for the purpose of exploding them, the parade resembled an invasion of grotesque outer-space mutants, bent on the destruction of the human race.

Only a liberal mind could think this is logical. I realize this is a parody article, but some things are almost unparodiable (?).

Good thing the Griswold family didn't pick that night to show up...

This is fascinating. I read the complaint and it makes the firefighters case very clear.

I know that in California their chance to win this lawsuit is slim but I hope I find out someday how it all turns out.

Frankly the homosexuals have every right to their parade and to act like scum if they want during it. The firefighters...and any other government employee should have every right to decline participation in the same event.

I grew up in North Hollywood, went to Grant High. Worked at Miller Imports Datsun and Downtown L.A. Datsun.
Spent 20 years trying to get the hell out of the pit.
Haate is too kind a word.
Liberal education and all those folks trying to act like they were stars. Freaks and fags everywhere.
Good ridance.

That’s one good thing about Hispanic immigration, they are definately more socially conservative than most Anglos.

I agree....especially when you take in Miami and the South Beach area.

I live in the opposite end of the state (Panhandle..Panama City) and we're about 1162 miles from there, so the impact may be lessened a little.
