They were followed by several gentlemen on scooters, a flock of bicycle riders -- one nude -- and scores of cheerleaders who rendered the crowd breathless by hurling their members high in the air.

Strange. This doesn't jibe with the "all-American family" line the Dem press has been pushing at us.

No, they just want to modify the terms. To them, the all-American family" looks like the Village People.

I wonder how long it will take Lawrence to look like this...
Once again, glad I moved!

[I_Love_My_Husband]

Lucky you. I'm still here in SF.

Can't move because of MY job... :(

"That is SO true; in the south in the 50s and 60s, it was like 60-70% against allowing interracial marriages (remember, they were largely considered "immoral" and would lead to the destruction of America!?).

Thank goodness the voters ultimately lost and the courts stepped in to promote equality!!"

Care to cite your sources for this bit of info? The 'south' is a pretty big place. Was this the whole 'south' or just part of the 'south'?

[skeeter]

Thank goodness the voters ultimately lost and the courts stepped in to promote equality!!

Did the folks in the south really vote on a referendum on interracial marraige, or are you just talking out your rear end?

[Im Your Huckleberry]

Well, it's certainly not still America...

We had sodomy for breakfast

What exactly does that mean? They ate sh!t for breakfast?

These people are demented and mostrous deviants...absolutely monstrous.

I hope the pet shops locked their doors early. All the poor gerbils that must have died yesterday...

[presidio9]

What exactly does that mean? They ate sh!t for breakfast?

Since the ones carrying the signs were dykes, I think they mean something else. Pie?

[Xenalyte]

"We had sodomy for breakfast."

What the hell does that mean?

[Houmatt]

You know, looking at this sickening description of an equally sickening event, I suddenly recalled something from Gregory mcDonald's, Son Of Fletch, where the title character, who had been in charge of the sound system at a neo-nazi rally, manipulated the sound in such a way all participants not wearing ear protection were induced to vomiting.

Is such a thing possible?

[skeeter]

I guess its good to have the courts on your side when your's is the minority point of view. Enjoy it while it lasts.

[Im Your Huckleberry]

I'm not sure if that's any consolation...still equally disgusting in my book, especially given what most real lesbians look like...I can't think of a much more repulsive image...

[skeeter]

Maybe. But y'know whats really amazing? That <3% of the population can make so damn much noise.

Frankly, gay issues bore the hell out of me.

From the ABCNews web site:

"Topless lesbian motorcyclists and men dressed as Brazilian carnival queens marched....'It's a critically important step toward bringing full dignity and rights to gay people.'"

Full dignity. Uh-huh.
