PÅ‚ock, a city of 140,000 people about 100km north-west of Warsaw, in Poland, had a gay pride parade organized on Saturday. My wife and I didn't know about them when we organized our weekend getaway, so were a bit ticked off when we found out. We went to the local zoo for the 4 hours (side note - the city is definitely worth visiting as is the zoo). It turned out to be a bit of a non-event in my opinion. The gay mafia are targeting different cities in Poland to have their "pride marches". The one in PÅ‚ock was...

Kosher ice cream lovers have a lot to celebrate this Pride month, specifically in the form of a pint of Big Gay Ice Cream. That’s because when the ice cream truck-turned-brick-and-mortar shop decided to package its popular soft serve to be sold nationally, it sought and received kosher certification. The pints of soft-serve deliciousness, which debuted in March and are sold in grocery stores and online, are officially under the auspices of the kashrut division of the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America. Or, as it is colloquially known, the OU. While it’s understandable that an up-and-coming brand would...

Kellogg’s was a sponsor of the Atlanta Gay Pride March and festival last month. Apparently, Tony the Tiger wants to make sure you and your kids “wear your stripes with pride,” gay pride that is. According to the American Family Association’s (AFA) Facebook page, “[t]hey even put an ad in the ‘Pride Guide.’” Also displayed on the ad is Human Rights Campaign (HRC), who considers Kellogg one of the “BEST PLACES TO WORK,” due to its support "for LGBT Equality."

Media Firestorm as Rick Perry Compares Homosexuality to Alcoholism By Julio Severo Texas Governor Rick Perry has caused a firestorm by comparing homosexuality to a disorder that people can avoid like alcoholism at an event in San Francisco. Rick Perry According to the San Francisco Chronicle, even though most of the event focused on economic issues, Perry was provocatively asked about the Texas Republican Party’s approval of platform language allowing Texans to seek voluntary counseling to leave the homosexual lifestyle. Perry responded to the question by saying that he did not know whether such so-called “reparative therapy” worked.  The...

Councilman John Duran and his gay colleagues on the West Hollywood City Council never expected a backlash when they voted recently to remove the rainbow flag from above City Hall. For Duran, who is gay, taking down the flag wasn't about slighting gays but sending a message about the city's diversity. "It's not just a city of gay men. It belongs to heterosexual people as well," he said. http://www.latimes.com/local/la-me-weho-gay-identity-20140307,0,7458432.story#ixzz2vNq2Uy21

Parking near the beach on a holiday weekend is certainly a challenge. It appears Florida now has lesbian-only designated parking spots. Violators apparently get a free heavy cocktail glass hurled through their vehicle's window. Just ask these two women about it. On Saturday evening a woman, age 36, driving a 2012 Ford truck, and her friend, age 38, turned down a street near St. Augustine Beach and parked the truck. As they exited the truck, a woman who had been sitting on the upper deck of a residence along the street shouted down to them "Hey! Only lesbians can park...
