You are already waffling. N$MBLA types? Or people marching under the banner of N$MBLA.

The organization of which you speak is so far underground they are closer to hell (figuratively and literally) then they are to any parades. Show me a photo, a news report, a sighting of any kind since the 1970s and I'll be the first to admit I am wrong.

I don't have to prove anything. You are the one making this claim.

The agenda of homosexual special rights: open homosexuality in the military, sodomite 'marriage', adoption of innocent kids by two 'daddies' - THESE ARE NOT CONSERVATIVE VALUES.

I am not waffling. I'll use the term NAMBLA members if you prefer. I think the term "marching under their own banner" makes it clear. I don't frequent these parades, but I do remember seeing photos from at least the 80's in the New York Post and pro-life publications. Frankly, doing a search on a topic like this is kind of dicey, and there are a number of sites I will not go to just to research a point.

From my cursory search, you are correct that they have been disinvited in recent years (in Los Angeles since the '80's). Frankly, I find that somewhat strange, as the homosexual movement has gotten more radical since the '70's, not less so. It does appear that Harry Hay, a former overt supporter of N$MBLA (and who had not renounced his position), has even (up until his death at 90) been welcomed as a celebrity of sorts in the SF parade right near Nancy Pelosi. And of course, vandalism and desecrations of St. Patrick's Cathedral in NYC have certainly been a more recent part of the activity. This same Harry Hay was actually the Grand Marshall at the SF parade several years ago.

So, I take back my statement that N$MBLA has not been disinvited. My original point that Coulter could use the same reasoning to march with N$MBLA stands. I am willing to admit when a point is mistaken. If you had simply stated, for instance, that they had been disinvited in LA in '86, and in NYC whenever, I would have taken your word for it.

Anyway, I have learned more about these things than I care to, so I'll drop it.
