Same-sex wedding occurs without incident on Rose Parade float
LA Times ^ | Jan 1, 2014 | Catherine Saillant and Soumya Karlamangla

The first same-sex wedding in the history of the Tournament of Roses Parade went off without a hitch -- except for the planned one -- despite threats of protests and days of opposition on social media.

"Congratulations and our best wishes to Aubrey and Danny on their wedding day!" said KTLA-TV Channel 5 broadcaster Bob Eubanks, one of the live telecast show's hosts, as the wedding-cake-shaped float passed by the viewing stands.

The vows took place near the end of the two-hour telecast of the 125th annual Rose Parade. There were no major incidents reported.

Were they expecting Christians to set off a suicide bomb?

Nothing so drastic as a suicide bomb, but I wouldn’t be surprised if some fraudulent hate speech incident occurs within next several weeks.

Lefties are so self-deluded, I bet they actually did!

No worries. Next time they will fake some hate crime incident and blame it on the Tea Party types.

A little off-topic: has anybody read the book The Book of Matt? About the Matthew Shepherd case? What an eye opener!

It would have been perfect if Bill Clinton had officiated the ceremony...

I have NEVER skipped watching the Rose Bowl, but I did today. I deliberately left the TV off, not wanting to see that.

Let’s change it to the Pansy Parade.

(Did I just commit a hate crime?)

Didn’t turn it on for the first time in a long time. They lost four viewers here.

Now they can go on the Newlywed Game.

The left and the homosexual movement manage to ruin anything ‘traditional’. This is yet another attempt to sway ordinary Americans into accepting the concept of same-sex ‘marriage’ as normal and acceptable. Sadly, it’s working. Had a disruption taken place to ‘mar’ the ‘ceremony’, the media would have excoriated those opposed to same-sex ‘marriage’ as akin to Nazi Storm Troopers in order to gin up sympathy for the ‘gay’ couple just trying to be ‘married’. Boo Hoo.

Same here. First one I’ve not watched in quite a few decades.

My family and extended family plus a number of our friends refused to watch this spectacle. It has long been a tradition in my wife's family to not only watch, but participate in the parade. They live in Southern California and we'd spend part of our Christmas vacation helping the Sons of Italy build their float. Not this time.

I feel bad for the people who worked long and hard on their floats because we have a first-hand appreciation of the work which it involves. But we refused to be even indirect participant in this celebration of perversion this year.
