So much for being accepting and inclusive. But then I’m not really surprised. The louder and longer people preach or screech about diversity and tolerance the less tolerant they really are.

“gay training sessions”

I don’t even want to know.

It would be best if the Catholics didn't even participate. A gay parade is an event to make God apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah. I would be embarrassed to be in a gay parade as somebody might recognize me and wouldn't want God to see me there either as he might turn me into a pillar of salt.

This is the way to compete with the gay lobby.

Lobby them right back.

I agree 100% with this approach. This is how we compete.

This is utter nonsense from Donohue. They didn’t “bar” him from marching with the banner, they said he had to attend a pre-parade information session. Every single parade I’ve ever been involved with had this sort of info session - they deal with logistical issues (when/where to show up, how to assemble, where to check in, etc.). The gay parade folks called Donohue’s bluff, and now he’s trying to save face.

Liberals DEMAND tolerance of their viewpoints, and are extremely intolerant toward those who dissent.

While I completely sympathize with the overall point, are there really that many people that like parades so much that these things are a big deal?

I’d rather have root canal than stand around for hours “staking out a spot” to watch a band and some puppets march by.

The homo agenda is not about acceptance or tolerance. It’s all about satan mocking God through His own creation. It would be kind of funny for God’s children to return the favor in kind.

Somehow this is OK but excluding a gay banner from the St. Patrick;s Day Parade isn’t?

I’m for allowing both exclusions.

A parade MUST allow gay groups to march while promoting their “gayness”. But a straight group isn’t allowed to promote it’s “straightness” in a gay parade.

He won’t attend the orientation?

Okay, I’ll say it.

What. A. Coward.

He got his bluff called, and made himself look the fool. Worse yet, all of us who agree with him look like fools by association.

Why can’t we have leaders with the courage of their convictions? No wonder we’re losing the country - we’re stuck with whiners and excuse-makers.

Be the bigger man, Bill. Show them how it’s done. Go to the information session, learn the safety protocols, ignore the briefing like everybody does, then proudly march in the parade under your own banner, spreading your message to those desperate for it. Come on.
