Why is it that when conservatives and other "unsophisticated" people do something, it is considered "A cheap publicity stunt"?

"It mocks the gay community," said Sean Kosofsky, adding that such a parade is akin to celebrating white pride.

So then, does Kosofsky feel that black pride or latino pride mocks the white community? Does gay pride mock the heterosexual community???

I, as do many Christians, believe that homosexuality is an abomination in God’s Eyes. The open flaunting of this perversion and attempt to legitimize it and it’s immoral and unhealthy behavior is disgusting and offensive. Kosofsky and the rest of the liberals seem completely blind to it. Yet they have no problem attacking a group who may want to promote a normal lifestyle.

When you’re unable to see logic, reason and rationality, you cling to whatever you can. Unfortunately for the liberals, it is once again “always side with evil”.

The celebration of european ancestry being a prima facia evil, of course. Thankfully, it is generally (though perhaps quietly) recognized that people like Kosofsky are idiots.

This is silly. The sickness in the "gay pride" movement is the notion that the only thing that determines who you are is your sexual orientation. It doesn't matter whether you are good at your profession, an upright citizen, pillar of your local community, play the piano, write poetry or essays, speak foreign languages, travel, play bridge, act in a local Gilbert and Sullivan production, sing badly in public, play tennis or sail or any of the other 100 Zillion things that go into making one a human being. No the only thing you are measured by is weather you get off with a partner of the same or the opposite sex.

This "straight pride" parade only falls into the same trap.

"akin to celebrating white pride..." Are you suggesting, then, Sean, that mocking gays is akin to a "racist" sort of thinking and limited to heterosexuals? Isn't that a "sexist" way of thinking?

"My sisters are straight and I love them anyway," Drate said, tongue-in-cheek...

It may be sarcasm on this fellow’s part but unfortunately it is an indication of the Gay communities sense of power in this society that they are calling the shots for many things. I personally have had a job terminated because the boss was gay and didn’t like my sense of family values and talking about my wife and kids.

When a persons identity is determined solely by how they use their sex organs and society has bought-in to that sad state of affairs – these culture wars are going to be played out on a larger and larger scale.

My experience with teenagers is they mostly have bought into this gay-is-always-good mentality –- given the appearance of the Gay-Straight Alliance in our local high school. So the future looks very bleak to me with the gays winning the minds and bodies of our youth!

Big Gay Brother will have the under-the-covers cameras rolling. Those "straight" priders shall be known! Although profiling isn't politically correct, it is necessary in today's threats to our nation.

"STRAIGHTS", we know who you are! Beware...

"I'm somewhat skeptical," said Councilman Dave Lennon, "that Ferndale may be used as a stage for a cheap publicity stunt."

"It mocks the gay community," said Sean Kosofsky, adding that such a parade is akin to celebrating white pride.

As opposed to the homosexual Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence?

"It mocks the gay community," said Sean Kosofsky,

A pretty revealing statement - almost an admission of guilt. Gay pride parades are nothing but in-your-face assaults on the heterosexual community. They ooze rebellion, anger, and hatred. Religious beliefs are ruthlessly mocked, and sexual perversions are flaunted in a way that would usually lead to arrest.

adding that such a parade is akin to celebrating white pride.

That remark is plainly racist. Following typical liberal "thinking", his tolerance is extended to homosexuals, blame-shifting minorities, pedophiles, blendered-gendereds, witchdoctors, nature worshippers, drug addicts, pimps, prisoners, fellow terrorists, and other democrats - but whites, republicans, conservatives, and self-controlled responsible citizens (of whatever race - they're all whities at heart) are all evil and should keep their traps shut.

Resident Sean Drate told the council that the parade sounds like a stunt with questionable intentions,

That's rich. As if a gay pride parade is a  legitimate celebration of diversity born out of noble intentions. They're more like a bold dare and slap in the face to the community at the same time.

 a parade for heterosexual pride may help such people "feel less ashamed of themselves" afterward.

I'll bet there will be far fewer strap on penises, whips and chains, cages, and simulated sex acts. They ought to feel less ashamed than their twisted  critics.

The heterophobes want to make heterosexual love verboten. It offends them and makes them feel like freaks. Which is what the implication of holding a "straight pride" parade in Michigan would be all about. Only thing I'm surprised at is what with PC being all around us these days, it hasn't been banned yet.

A spokesman for Triangle Foundation, a gay advocacy group, last week decried the straight pride parade. "It mocks the gay community," said Sean Kosofsky, adding that such a parade is akin to celebrating white pride.

Oh, that would be awful if white people thought they had something to be proud of. </sarcasm> Let me interject at this moment that I am black.

I wonder what the Triangle Foundation felt in 1999 about the anti-Catholic Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence's Easter celebration in Sin Freaksicko. My guess is they were either silent or supportive.
