The American Catholic News Agency (CNA) has linked a gay band scheduled to march in Barack Obama’s inauguration parade to a festival “infamous for its public lewd acts”. CNA says the Lesbian and Gay Band Association’s website also lists them as appearing at the Southern Decadence festival.
The Lesbian and Gay Band Association is a network of lesbian and gay bands comprised of concert and marching bands from various American cities.
CNA reports that a press release from the Presidential Inaugural Committee states that the group’s appearance in the Inaugural Parade on January 20 will mark the first time an “openly LGBT group” has been invited to participate.
“I am honored to invite these talented groups and individuals to participate in the Inaugural Parade,” President-elect Obama said in the statement.
“These organizations embody the best of our nation’s history, diversity and commitment to service. Vice President-elect Biden and I are proud to have them join us in the parade.”
Founded 38 years ago, Southern Decadence is held each September in New Orleans, Louisiana.
It starts on September 3, 2009 with the ‘Big Dick Contest’, hosted by porn entrepreneur and safe sex advocate Chi Chi LaRue, and includes appearances by the Lady Bunny (a former guest of Midsumma), comedian Shirley Q. Liquor, and a ‘Bad Puppy Model Search’.
CNA quoted a 2003 Atlanta Journal Constitution article, saying, “it had ‘become routine’ for men to flash their genitals and perform public sex acts at the event, which bills itself as ‘the Gay Mardis [sic] Gras.’”

What a stupid lede to a stupid story.
The errors in logic should cause Jesuits to shudder.
C’mon now... who’s rally surprised?
I am hoping they give a “performance” that offends just about everybody...about time the American public sees what kind of “change” Obama will be bringing. Next year my bet is no Christmas in the White House...only Kwanzaa and Muslim holidays.
“...will mark the first time an “openly LGBT group” has been invited to participate...”
Stand by. My guess is that we are going to see many “firsts” with Mr. Obama.
First Non-Citizen President
First Gay President
This President is setting a lot of precedences.
Hey, if I was married to that ugly vicious bitch I’d turn gay too!
We are living in a sitcom, folks.
Perform where?
LOL!
A very immoral sitcom at that... ;-/
I thought Muslims do not like gays.

I am with you. I hope they are true flamers and I hope its warm so they can appear in their most flaming outfits and really show America what it just bought in to.
Sorry about this. I don’t know what happened.
ALL LEWDNESS LAWS ARE HENCEFORTH CANCELED.
PE obama.
The new America that Obama promised. Can you feel the Hope and Change in the air?
(puke)
The President Elect’s balls, I hear they will be all over Washington DC.
