I will agree that Gay Pride Parades do have a leftist political agenda, but that’s reflective of the majority of the gay community also. But overlooking that for now, the parade IS actually quite fun and empowering. I’ve ridden my scooter in the parade for the past 4 years and it’s quite simply a blast to participate in it and be cheered on by 400,000 onlookers.

Scan for pictures of this year’s Seattle parade and tell me that people aren’t having fun. And what’s wrong with having fun?!?!

Robert Oliver was part of a depraved gang in the 1980’s that is suspected of the death of up to 9 boys. The gang lead by Sydney Cook also known as Oliver’s gay lover drugged the children before subjecting them to brutal assaults. Cook set up his own fun fair stalls at fairgrounds to lure his unsuspecting victims and trap them into under age orgies. from their filthy den in Hackney the gang hired under aged male prositutes or snatched children off the streets to torture them sexually. There victims included tragic Jason Swift who was found strangled in a shallow grave. Robert Oliver has now served 10 years of a 15 year sentence for his part in the gang rape of 14 year old Jason Swift. At the end of 2006 Robert Oliver was driven out of his home in Somerset and relocated to Tonbridge Road, Maidstone without public knowledge. On 13th May 2007 a national newspaper reported his whereabouts and by signing below you join us in removing this man from a town that is surrounded by many schools and our innocent naive children as he still remains a risk to them. Do not let your child be his next victim……..

Let’s see, you claim I hate myself. How did you determine that by examining what I wrote or what you feel about Republicans?

You say I’m hiding who I am out of a sense of nostalgia, then how did you explain that my co-blogger and myself place our names on the blog and are openly gay in conservative circles?

Amazing, yet another piece of proof of the narrow-minded intolerance of anti-Republican gay activists. And to think people like Robert Oliver accuse conservatives of being intolerant hypocrites.

Kettle, we’ve found another pot. Except this kettle hasn’t seen near as much service as Robert Oliver’s pot.

Such blatant free adverstising here should first be cleared with either Bruce or Dan. Especially by so-called “posters” who try to tie in their products with the issue at hand.

But, since I don’t run this site, I will defer to the powers-that-be.

I was at the Parade this last Sunday and was particularly touched to see the Euphoria Face and Body Day-Spa (www.euphoriafaceandbody.com) selling lemonade at $0.25 a cup as a fundraiser to benefit the Aid for Aids Organization.

Quite a touching note to a terrific celebration!!

I am also neither proud nor ashamed to be attracted to the same sex. But “gay” has taken on a whole new connotation in some respects, and has become almost synonymous with “militant leftist.” And yes, I am often ashamed to be associated with the gay community in regards to their politics, their hate and their behavior. That’s why I’m so glad to see blogs like yours and others like it. I think society, even the dreaded Christian right would be a lot more welcoming of gays if they didn’t think we were all a bunch of radical left wing America/Christian/capitalism hating socialists. But thats the face gays have chosen to show the world.

WOW, this is exactly what I have been thinking! I too am glad for blogs such as this, I know that there are more out there that do not choose this “face”… problem is we are too busy being “normal” to be as vocal, but it looks like that is changing (Tammy Bruce, GayPatriot, Steve Yuhas et all) and for that I am grateful.

86% of House Democrats have historically voted against increasing the production of American-made oil and gas.

And this year I did celebrate Long Beach pride with my gay and straight friends which came right after the CA Supreme Court decision. And you know regardless of the differing opinions about the decision there seemed to be something to celebrate since stonewall.

So I celebrated by getting stoned and drunk and exposing myself.. Ha ha just kidding really. All in all it was just really a great day.

What do you think about Babs Boxer, the Democrat Congress (and John McCain BTW) supporting a Global Warming bill that even its supporters admit will cost the U.S. economy over a trillion dollars and cost 600,000 jobs a year for a negligible effect on a phenomenon people are starting to learn is a massive hoax? How about Democrats in congress blocking virtually all domestic energy production, including shale oil and clean coal, and this perpetuating our dependence on foreign sources of oil?

Now, as for abortion, Republicans oppose sticking a tube into the head of a viable human baby and sucking its brains out for the sake of convenience to the mother. Your Democrats support that. Republicans oppose taking underage girls across state lines for abortions without their parents being informed. Your Democrats support that. Republicans think if an underage girl gets knocked up as a result of statutory rape, it should be reported and the rapist prosecuted. Democrats don’t.

As for health care, why you idiot socialists think the same government that can barely handle mail delivery, turned neighborhoods into slums with public housing, spends fortunes on public education and produces the worst results in the industrialized world, and can’t even competently run the senate cafeteria is going to do a brilliant job with health care? You’re a fool. You guys panic and wet your pants because our government spies on terrorists, but you can’t wait to turn all of your personal private medical data to the government. You’re a damned fool.

As for marriage, if you are willing to trade away your economic freedom, your political freedom, and your right to make important life choices for yourself in return for a piece of paper from a government bureaucracy telling you its okay to share your life with another man… then you are a fool, plain and simple.

After seeing a lot of ugly, hairy, fat old men “exposing themselves” at the last Houston Pride event, I threw up in my mouth a little and vowed never to attend it again.

Are these GLBT communities the best we can do? Talk about adverse marketing…

Republicans can no longer argue that they have better economic policy when they are dragging us into debt and recession for this lie of a war. I’d rather pay less in taxes, but if I have to pay for something, I’d rather it be for healthcare and education here in America, rather than to kill Iraqis.

Cool! You would rather pay less in taxes. Well, you are. And McCain says he will make the tax cuts permanent. Obama is going to end the tax cuts and dump a few more taxes on top of them. Oh, don’t worry, he has promised he will try to only tax other people, not you.

We are really having a fine recession. Even MSNBC has stopped trying to sell the “on the brink of” line. Haven’t you noticed that the recession panic talk is in recession?

So, it is “this lie of a war” that really sticks in your craw. Fine, it is your call to support the war on terrorism or not. But let’s not pretend that if there were no war you would be more in tune with conservatism.

Good luck to you on government healthcare. I know you are thrilled with public education, the DMV, the IRS, social welfare, FEMA, Amtrak, Homeland Security, the Department of Energy and Congress in general. After all is said and done, it is better to have equally crappy services than to ever allow competition and the free market choice rear its ugly head.

I raise my glass to you. No more killing of Iraqis. We will pull out of Iraq post haste and divert the funds to education and healthcare. Hey, wait! Isn’t that dragging us into debt and recession for this lie of education and healthcare.? Now, my brain itches.

They also want to police our private lives– abortion and marriage for example. So why do you support them? I really don’t understand.

Gay Pride never was about pride, though. It was about exposing one’s self.

Hallelujah, our existence has finally been acknowledged!

Just kidding.
