What's intolerant about calling it the shame parade? I didn't say they shouldn't have the right to parade themselves; that would be intolerant.

Yes. they are Inuit. Eskimo is actually a derogetory word in their language and that is how it was intended by the dominant society.
Bingo! The intolerant, though, are self loathing and that is why they need to say stupid crap like that about others, so they can momentarily feel better about themselves.

Ah, yes, indeed. There is nothing intolerant about calling it a shame parade. You're absolutely correct, and you should not be ashamed of yourself for being that way. You should be proud to be who you are, you might find that there are others like you, hiding in closets, afraid to come out in public with their elementary-school insults disguised as wit. In fact, I'm suggesting that you form a parade of your own, perhaps you could call it the 'People of very little brain' parade. Not that we'd suggest you have very little brain, of course, that would be insulting, and we don't do that.
The federal government is not contributing any money to the gay pride parade in Toronto this year.
Why not; nowhere in the Charter of Rights does it say that you can't insult me or that you can't offend me.
Then there isn't anything rational to snivel about. The rest is irrational chatter and squirrels can do that.
Because bigots are ashamed to see it? Or perhaps they are too ashamed to admit that they want in on it? Lotsa guesses. lol
I pretty much agree, there is no shortage of private sponsors for all the various parades.
I don't watch TV because I hate being exposed to advertising that promotes mindless consumerism. Now we are going to have to put up with advertising everywhere we look because businesses will be sponsoring every event. When is the first ship to Mars leaving?
Aren't they called Inuits these days?
I didn't know they are still referred to as Eskimos in Alaska.
No wonder they are still called Eskimos in Palin's Alaska.
Toronto Gay Pride parade is the biggest in North America. I got the first hand experience two years ago. We were driving in Toronto around 11.30 at night, going to our hotel room. To my surprise it was bumper to bumper traffic on 401 at 11.30 at night. I was surprised at that.
Somebody told me the next day that it was due to Gay Pride Parade, many people from abroad come to Toronto to participate or just to watch. I knew it was Gay Pride week , but I didn’t put the two together.
Oh great I can imagine... An election is coming up! Get ze Army out on the streets to impress the plebs!
