Rose Parade Gay Wedding Going on Despite Protest
ABC Newsw ^ | Dec 31, 2013 | John Rogers

Posted on 12/31/2013 6:06:35 AM PST by Innovative

Aubrey Loots and Danny Leclair joke that they're getting married New Year's Day in front of 80 million of their closest friends, and the men say they aren't that concerned that a few thousand others may boycott the first gay marriage at the 125-year-old Rose Parade.

The Pasadena Tournament of Roses, which puts on the parade, said in a statement that it is proud to have the AIDS Healthcare Foundation's float, adding it clearly represents this year's parade theme, "Dreams Come True."

"Like all of our sponsors and float designers, AHF continues to help make the Rose Parade a premier event through original and creative expressions that connect to parade themes," the statement said.

Will they show the various partners they will continue to have despite being “married”?

Once again we are doing it all wrong...sigh

What channel is the parade on? Who is its biggest sponsor? That’s who we should be boycotting. If we started this 10 days ago, the sponsor would have pulled back advertising and the float would never have seen the TV screen.

“Tell them that they made a “sinful lifestyle choice” bigtime.”

Sinful it undoubtedly is, but I don’t think it is a lifestyle or a choice.

It is a disorder induced by trauma. A boy usually has no choice in being traumatized, and after he develops same-sex attraction disorder, he has little or no choice regarding his compulsion to engage in loathsome perversions.

It is very difficult for a healthy man to remain celibate; how could a man who has a psychosexual disorder to begin with hope to keep himself under control?

The Duck Call may well become the conservative bugle of protest at any gathering.

Now you're cooking with peanut oil.

funny how the left whines about Christians forcing their values and morals down their throats, but it’s perfectly fine for them to do it.

I just now arrived to Pasadena from Colorado...if only I could figure out a way to distribute duck whistles to all the kids there...

I keep promoting this concept in these threads... so thanks. I really think the message should be equally "loud, proud, and in-your face" as these faggots insist upon being.

Kudos.

It really ought to... My uncle, known for his ability to mock the absolute ridiculousness of society, would have no qualms at all taking a vuvuzela to a parade (before they were made [un]popular during the 2010 FIFA World Cup. He also had an elk call he would take to these sort of parades or ball games and just wail on it for the sheer lunatic factor... because he loved to get a rise out of those that need to be ridiculed.

this is a suicide pact for this parade.

sponsors should know we will be watching their renewars.

with such a drawn out process the homosexuals were activly trying to slip this past into the family room.

the best solution is to v-chip the broadcast and deny the ratings.

next we have to force the fcc et al to include an “H” rating in any program containing homosexual content.

Can't imagine this won't totally tank the ratings.

Unfortunately, many will tune in just for this reason -- either out of support or curiosity. Will not include my family.

Not difficult for me at all.

he has little or no choice regarding his compulsion to engage in loathsome perversion

Virtually everything is a CHOICE at that moment in time that a CHOICE is made to go ahead with the behavior.

that is why they stuck this at the end of the parade. If the gross-fest was first, the tv’s would be turned off and away. advertisers would scream.

advertisers have to be taught, bad choices reduce sales.

see lipton tea and soups combined with the dixie chix.

If they are saying it's at the end of the parade it will probably be the FIRST float...and with replays throughout the coverage.
