I’d be interested to see if this year’s ratings went down.

I'm sure the queers will adjust for any "anomalies."

[GOPJ]

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

Liberal's fake hate crimes because the press is gullible, stupid and a willing partner in the fraud.

See post 95 — and a few others — it seems most TV stations had more sense and either didn’t show it or glossed over it quickly and from afar so as not to offend their audience.

[Viennacon]

Let them honeymoon in Moscow... or maybe Kampala.

Wonder who the Rose Bowl Parade organizers were and did the hot breath of the Democrat Party have anything to do with it.

[nascarnation]

It’s California.
No further explanation req’d.

[Nea Wood]

Hopefully that means Bob and Stephanie had refused to announce it.

I wonder if the Rose Parade officials would allow a “Straight Pride” float next year.

That's an excellent idea! Someone should apply for that for next year, and see what happens.

Thanks. That gives me a glimmer of hope that this gay thing wont quickly take over what has always been an annual FAMILY event.

[lee martell]

Remember when the Occupiers wanted their own float but were denied? Not any more. Unless they backtrack and disavow loyalty to radical causes, this opens the floodgates to Peta, Maad, Cair, La Rasa, Black Panthers, Man and Boy,,The Don’t Frack Me Bro. groups and so on.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Which one of you is the groom? I pronounce you man and wife. Sir, you may butt**** the bride.

[Brown Deer]

It’s physically impossible for two faggots to consummate their marriage!

[mlizzy]

What show-offs! We passed on the parade too.

[JouleZ]

Same here. First time in decades I didn’t watch and I missed it but I’m old enough to know I’ll get over it.

[Condor 63]

What the heck?? Why do these people, and liberals in general, want to push this narrative that conservatives are hateful, violent against them, etc???

Because it works.

[Dilbert San Diego]

But how does this narrative work, when there are no instances of violence perpetrated by allegedly hateful conservatives????

Naming your son Aubrey should be considered child abuse.

[trisham]

In this country, it’s generally considered a girl’s name.
