Facing pressure from local religious groups and a newly enacted statute that strengthens the prohibition against public sex, the 32nd installment of Southern Decadence weekend could be one of the most controversial as local bars and the gay community weather criticism about condoning lewd behavior in years past.

Local gay and lesbian advocates said they are worried that Storms could prompt a backlash of homophobia in a usually tolerant city.

heh.

Too late.

Umm...what exactly does public orgies have to do with being "gay"?

[netmilsmom]

The gay community is "In your Face". My sister is one of them. There have been times when a gay event turns into a little more than a public display of affection.
Ride through Lakewood Ohio sometime during a parade.

This Southern Decadence thing is beyond me anyway. Gay or straight, I really don't want to watch people "bump uglies" in public.

You gotta be kidding right? Unless of course you want to find a reference or two about "straight" public orgies and act like it corresponds to the displays the "Gay Rights Prudes" try to put on at every turn, if for nothing else, just to shock people.

[netmilsmom]

You are so right. There is no more of a "Pay attention to ME" crowd than the gays at a parade.

[jjm2111]

What I meant, albiet sarcastically, is why does everything gay people have to revolve around obscene promiscuous and perverted sex.

What people do their own bedrooms is really not a big fat problem for me, but when I see two guys fondling each other on the subway it's disgusting.

[Felis_irritable]

Somehow I think the parade won't really be the "climax" of the event...

[JudgemAll]

I do not see how public sex is providing us any welfare or adding truth to the situation.... more like structuring the public culture according to their disgusting structured addictions ... as opposed to sex being a genuine means of continued deeper discussion between two people loving each other, sex in public shuts the communication and these adolescent behaviors allienate the nation in general.

[JudgemAll]

Somehow I think the parade won't really be the "climax" of the event...

This is not a parade, let alone an innocent party, more like abnoxious uninviting but imposing behaviors.

Gay celebration stirs controversy

Promoters warn against public sex

Let me get this straight. Yesterday we have the Ten Commandments removed from a public place by authorities, and now we have a gay celebration in the French Quarter, including public sex - I am at a loss of words.

LOL...yuck!

""We are really gearing up for what could possibly be a rise in hate crimes in this period," said Jack Carrel""

So this threat that there could be straight violence against the gays acting obscenely is always used and generally shuts-up most conservative people. Let the gays do what they want -- heck it worked with AIDS.

The real message is gays can do what ever they want and you all be dammed. If the “hate-crime” thing doesn’t work they’ll use the ACLU to sue the police, judges and businesses.

[AxelPaulsenJr]

Drat, I guess there will be no fisting out on the street.

It is always amusing to see what they can stuff up their poop shoots.
