I didn’t watch it either.

Our family skipped it this year. I wouldn’t let my kids be exposed to it.

Guess I missed out on all those advertisers as well. Oh well.

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

Same here. If anybody finds this info, please post.

Didn’t watch it. I have watched every other year. Not any more.

I object to the gay agenda being thrown in our faces.

I boycotted the parade this year. Took my dogs out instead for a long hike in the local mountains.

I DIDN’T watch the Rose Parade for the first time EVER in my live (over 50 years) — I am a local, love Vin Sculley and love the Rose Parade.

I may boycott this parade permanently and hope others did too.

The good news is, there were a lot of rose petals to throw...

Well, they do call events such as these a “spectacle”...

Too bad for the advertisers. Our large extended family skipped the Rose Parade. I’m sure we weren’t alone.

The Rose Parade organizers pushed this, but it seems like most TV stations had more sense.

From an article:

“Response to the AIDS Health Care Foundation’s float which featured a same-sex wedding seemed mostly muted as it traveled down Colorado Boulevard. Several TV stations covering the Rose Parade live either cut away from the wedding of Danny Leclair and Aubrey Loots, or remained silent as the couple passed.

Well,,this might be answered, but anyone know how many ppl watched the Rose Bowl? From what I read on the Rose Bowl facebook site, hundreds of thousands were definitely NOT going to watch, so wonder what the numbers are. Looked earlier, no found.

I couldn’t find that either — but while I was looking for it, that’s when I found the info about most stations more or less avoiding that particular float.

Have there been wedding ceremonies on Rose Parade floats in the past? Normal man-woman weddings that is...

Well, I assume stats will be posted here. Couldn’t believe the number of ppl who posted on the RoseBowlParade FB site that they weren’t going to watch. I assume if it had a big affect, less homosexual stuff on TV.

Those in charge of the famous Rose Parade, tasked with keeping the parade a wholesome event, have with this one stupid move, killed the image of the parade forever. The parade now has just one association in the minds of the world. Requiescat in pace, Rose Parade. You once were an admired event. You have disgraced and cheapened the image of the parade and you’ve marginalized yourself from most Americans and most people around the world. Dumb, dumb dumb. You are anti-God and anti-Bible, Rose Parade Board of Directors. Families stayed away in droves, both in person and in the tv audience.

There was a parade?

For years, when I lived in Southern California, I went to every Rose Parade.

This travesty is a further example of the attempted queerification of our society
being attempted by the fa**ot in chief and his evil minions. I will not comply.

I will never watch the “Rose” parade again.

I'd be interested to hear. My wife loves to watch the Rose parade, but she skipped it this year.

CBS 11 O’Clock news in Los Angeles, on 1/1, started with a reporter at the home of two gay guys...Very excited...

At that time, I switched channel...
