Wow, you will never give this up eh?
The comparison to Mardi Gras / Halloween is flawed. No one calls it the Hetero Pride Parade.
Bare ass wackiness would go well with a Gay Mardi Gras event, just don’t call it a Gay Pride Parade.
Get it now?
The hate is strong in this one…
Clearly, slutty nurse and slutty police officer will do an excelent job of scaring away demons that roam before All Saints Day, which is the real purpose of Halloween. Get it now??
And just let it go. The wacky stuff isn’t the only thing that pride day is about, it’s just what you have your panties in a bunch about.
I think maybe the theme of the parade is besides the point. San Francisco also has St Patrick’s Day, Chinese New Year, Halloween, and Forty Niners Parade. It’s not like Halloween parade is for people who were repressed for being… ghosts? It seems more like San Francisco has X number of slots for parades, which are like city parties, and they can make it whatever theme they want. If the “Pride” parade makes San Francisco a meccha for gay people who come spend their disposable income, then that is a good economic project.
Actually, these parades can be very inconvenient if you live in the city. Once, I wanted to cross the street to go to the gym, but there were all these parade floats. Fuuuuu…
I had some meetings in NYC a few years ago on the day of their Puerto Rican Pride Parade. Major PITA to get around that area of the city for a couple of hours.
It’s OK to admit you are wrong. No need to accuse others of hating your pet flawed idea.
The wacky stuff actively hurts the “pride” part of the parade and provides a handy tool for homophobes for gay-bashing. Every year like clockwork, all the conservative talk show hosts here get their veiled attacks on the gay lifestyle in under the perfect cover provided by the wacky antics. None of that applies to Mardi Gras / Halloween. People expect wild slutty behavior and get it.
“I’m not for it, but I understand” = B-Chad on everything
Respect.
I’ve been a vocal proponent of gay rights, but I gotta admit this too–I don’t like seeing gay dudes make out. I don’t like watching it on TV (Glee, e.g.), or in person. Call me a homophobe or a West Texas hillbilly, but I would just prefer to not see it.
This past year, I watched the NFL draft for approximately one minute, simply to see who the Cowboys had taken. That happened to be the exact same minute that Michael Sam got drafted and he was making out with his boyfriend. I gagged a little bit.
^only steers and qu**rs watch Glee, and you dont look like a steer
Its pretty easy to turn away. I don’t like seeing it either, but I honestly don’t care. No one forces you to watch it. In fact, of all the offensive things in our society today, this ranks pretty low, IMO.
Hence why I don’t watch Glee or most other stuff that has gay dudes on it.
But I didn’t expect to see two guys making out on ESPN. And I mean that I literally watched like one minute, and it happened to be the exact wrong minute of the whole three-day draft. Maybe it’s just getting harder to not look at it.
You don’t need to turn away, it’s a bit of an acquired taste, try it, you may like it!
CFAvMBA,
What is your criterion to awaken random old threads?
Now that Tim Cook is out of closet, this makes your devotion to Apple very logical.
^I am not worthy
AAPL is down upon the news while the rest of the market is up…hmmmm
^ Sometimes Apple just likes to go down while the market firms up. Sometimes it likes to bob up and down. Sometimes it shoots up like an arrow.
And 0.38% is just a little softness, not a real droop.
As long as Tim Cook doesn’t decide to change all the Mac and iOS connectors to male-male only, forcing me me to go out and buy a bunch of new ones to keep up, it’s really pretty irrelevant to me what his orientation is.
I could have sworn everybody knew Tim Cook was gay for years. Who gives a fck now?
