Milo Yiannopoulos will be the grand marshal — and mascot for the parade |
All walks of life describes Milo, who is openly gay and entitled his college speaking tour as "The Dangerous Faggot Tour".
Sounds like fun. I grew up in New York City, which always had all sorts of competing ethnic and political parades. Irish. Italian. Puerto Rican. MLK/Black. Cinco de Mayo. Chinese. Israeli. Persian. Philippine. German-American Steuben. Korean. Pulaski (Polish). Teachers. Cops. Fireman. Mermaids. Topless.
There were probably always a few incidents, but mostly everyone respected each other . . . and ate, drank and were merry. Or just ignored it. |

Thank you, SHFA! I'm very concerned about the disrespect towards, and general lack of representation of, the straight lifestyle in society today. It's no longer literally everywhere I look & listen, and that is a slippery slope towards complete extinction.

That's the inclusive party spirit, Luuuc! And in that spirit, lets also tip our Aussie outback hats to the Adelaide Christmas Pageant parade, the second largest of its kind in the world, since Christmas is on the slippery slope to complete extinction. |

You're really not doing us any favours the way you downplay just how brutal it really is.

Yeah, I didn't want to go into detail about my experiences with conversation therapy where my Church used many different aversion techniques to try and pray the straight out of me. I also didn't want to go into detail about the numerous straight people who have been victims of beatings or worse because of rampant heterophobia present in today's society.
I mean, it wasn't even until a few years ago that us straight people could legally marry in the United States. Not to mention that in some places around the world being straight is still punishable by death.

At least we could finally get married, although it was pretty hard to find a bakery that would make us a cake.

Organizer's gay son opposes 'Straight Pride' event
Quote: |
Matthew Mason, 28, of Turlock, California, is scheduled to address the Modesto City Council on Wednesday to oppose the National Straight Pride Coalition's application for a permit to host a Straight Pride event on Aug. 24 at the Mancini Bowl in Modesto's Graceada Park. The event would celebrate "heterosexuality," "masculinity," "femininity" and "babies, born and unborn."
While Modesto City Council members don't actually approve or deny such permits, according to The Modesto Bee — that's the job of city staff — Mason, who is gay, is hoping that his perspective as the adopted son of one of the event's organizers will still make an impression with the city.
Mason's adoptive mother, Mylinda Mason, is one of the event's organizers. The two are estranged because he is gay. |
Quote: |
Mylinda Mason denied that she was a white supremacist. "We are the only nation in the world that has had the black man and the white man stand side by side to free their brothers from slavery," she said. "It's a beautiful testimony to the liberty under union."
"Like I told the media in the past, to sensationalize it is good for selling newspapers, but it's going to be much like a church service," whose purpose, she said, was to celebrate "life."
"That is, to celebrate all of life," Mason said, "Under the order of our creator, begins with heterosexuality, masculinity, femininity, babies born and unborn, Western civilization, our wonderful country, and Christianity — really all of life — it's a celebration of all of life." She then quoted Psalms 44:8 — "In God we make our boast all day long, and we will praise your name forever."
"I think that the word 'pride' has been stolen, if you will, or hijacked by the evil one, and I want to say that we are taking pride in our God almighty, in our creator, and in his order." |

TIL: "All of Life" is defined as those who share the same fundamental beliefs and culture as me.
And fetuses.
