HA HA HA! Never had complaints in THAT dept - just in the sensitivity thing. Us guys are hard enough for gals to figure out. When the heart just doesn't go that way....

Gay Shame Parade
- Thread starter Cosmo
- Start date
Although I can easily see something like this happening, the article in the OP comes from The Onion website.
We all have the right to our parades although personally I find such public exercise appallingly boring. Then again I'm an extremely impatient individual who has trouble waiting for the punch line in a joke. Let the town have its parade. Let the gays have theirs. Let anyone else who can convince City Hall or Town Council of their merits to have theirs too. Just don't ask me to attend.
Personally, I hate parades - but if someone was trying to shame me about my lifestyle, you bet I'd organize a parade to shove it right back in their faces.
Push me into a closet? Brother, I'll push you right off the wharf in retaliation!

Now I don't mind Santa parades as long as they're no more than two blocks long. I rather get a kick out of the old duffer even now. And as for gays, given the boldness and public lewdness of some of their well publicized parade efforts, it's little wonder they're seeing some pushback. I think that's likely the reaction some expected. And - politically - hoped for.
At last someone that can take a lil fun..well actually there are a few here...thanks man...honestly i got to thinking you might have taken me even slightly serious.....i was going to uber grovel if you got offended.....
thanks it means a lot to me....
i wouldn't have let you think i was really serious......just needed to get over some previous rage and you afforded me well....
yer alright!
Then all the homosexuals are getting their thongs and whips in a knot for naught.
Gee, y'all had me going there for a minute.
I'd imagine that if there really was a parade that had been staged for 30 years, we probably would have heard of it by now.
Ho my gawd ... I thought it was a real story! I ran across it somewhere in my internet travels and was outraged. Someone call the gullibility police on me.
I went to the Onion this morning and had a huge laugh. Some of the articles are great. They have a wonderful bunch of writers with a beautifully twisted sense of humour.
Oh well, got folks yapping about a good issue tho, didn't it?
In keeping with the article, here are a few thoughts:
And my fav:
I was going to refer to Snopes after I read that one, but thanks for the hoot!
Personally, I'd like to see a "Sexual Pride" parage where people of all orientations (and fetishes) can come out and express themselves. Why should gays have all the fun?
You might have to have it later at night when the kids are all out shooting each other somewhere else in town...

Ooops I always have something to say don't I ?
Think about it - what if these kinds of parades were 'against the law''??
Just one example of not being allowed to parade for a cause: women would not have a place in the world and would still be without a vote.
Do we want to go back there?
Ever again?

And to the other side of the view.... here's an incident I hope will not be replayed again - it has to be choice - free choice.

I read about 2 sentences before I had a STRONG suspicion it was Onion-related- almost every time I read something that is such a "layered" outrage (that wacky "picture" really drove it home for me) I suspect the Onion- good idea to check there first when ya sees something this outrageous, Cosmo
well i'm happy that our new admin is actually rose Anna dana from SNL....i keep useing this gag ...does anyone remeber her....the NEVERMIND lady on snl neewsbreak......
Your right , it's all about choice what they did to those guys was rough to say the least .
:sign6: Heehee ... I remember her. And ya, kinda feel like her after that!

I actually discovered the story at a more serious news place, but I had no idea the Onion existed. Its hilarious!! When I discovered my dumb a$$ mistake, I went back and read it.
:evil3: From now on, ya can bet I'll read the source more carefully.
:bootyshake: We're all allowed to do something idiotic now and then!! That was mine for August, tho!

Curio ... first thing I did was make sure that wasn't a parody. I was hoping you'd made the same error I did.
That is horrible. Its the same as me being forced into an anti-gay parade. I can see the Chief "encouraging" people to participate but making it mandatory is just plain wrong. Obviously being gay is no innoculation against biggotry and stupidity. It is so disappointing that one of the first women in that sort of position makes such a big mistake.
