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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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