Or why don't we just shove them right back in the closet, eh Dove?



It isn't hurting anyone.  It's easily avoided.  We aren't so entitled as straighties that we can't share the streets for a few hours.  The crowd is 5/6 people thick during these parades.  You'd see nothing but the backs of heads if you were walking the parade route unless you specifically made an effort to see something.  The streets are also shut down to traffic.



Honest to God, can we please stop grasping at the straws of idiocy for your self righteous justification of raining on someone's pride parade.  Pretty please?

 Dude you really need to look at the pictures of what I'm talking about.  I'm thinking perhaps in your country it's not like how it is here. And I know plenty of homosexuals out of the closet happily with out the need to make pornographic displays of themselves in public. Really?  Have you seen what goes on at American gay festivals?

I'm a Canadian woman.  



I don't care if they parade around with their dicks in each other's asses elephant style in the U.S.



And again, you can know thousands of gay people who aren't into pride festivals.  The beauty of our countries is the FREEDOM to participate or not.

I would attend one of these festivals if they did that.  



Seriously though, for me its pretty simple, If i dont want to see that sort of thing i just wont go!! , i see nothing wrong with how they celebrate

It is literally that simple Keeper but there will always be those entitled assholes who have to kick up a stink about something that affects them in no way whatsoever.

So everyone who objects to heavy sexual displays in a public place that everyone shares is stupid?  So we ALL have to conform to total free sexuality happening anytime people decide they wish to display it.  But Christian kids better not have prayer circles on public school grounds. Sounds legit.

[RW]

We aren't talking any time or anywhere.  We are talking about a designated time and place once a year.  Come on ole girl, stay with me here in reality.



I'm not saying you are stupid per se.  I'm saying your arguments are.  



A pride event probably has ZERO impact or influence on your life yet you bleat on about it.  Time to get a grip.

But the point is people who don't want it in the shared public grounds are JUST as entitled to that as the parade seems to feel in doing it.  How is this lost on you? Lol. It's a public place and everyone pays taxes for it.  And you do know that you get arrested for public indecency for this behavior, right?  So it shouldn't be acceptable for homosexuals simply because they are a minority.

[RW]

But you are okay with it so long as it happens after dark.  That is literally how fickle your decency argument is.  



You are also entitled to not walk the streets during a pride event because you don't want to see a peepee or boobie.  See how that works?

[RW]

"I'm going to walk down this street where a pride parade is happening and if I see anything I don't like, I'm going to cry foul!"



What a fucking joke Dove.  Seriously laughable.

 No it doesnt. But I'm opinionated and I have Internet access...so alas...lol.  I'm not broken up about it. People do unacceptable things in public on the daily.  Whether you think my arguments are stupid is really moot, as they are just as valid as the arguments in favor. Not everyone appreciates displays like that in the public places they live in.  This is why adult events are typically held in private venues or at night.  Pride festivals shouldn't be different in this. If they want to celebrate sexuality by putting it all on display, fine. But follow the same rules everyone else does.

 Everyone is entitled to public places. That's what makes them public. Making public off limits to a portion of the public is entitled. Not everyone is okay with that.

[RW]

It's not off limits.  You are welcome to go there if you choose to do so.  You can just as easily choose not to.

Where they have the Parade is still a PUBLIC PLACE, they tell you well in advance that : On this day this street at this time: were having a Parade. Its not off limits, JUST DON'T GO. I repeat DONT GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.



Tell me im wrong.....

Let me paint a picture for you. I live in a downtown major city. I literally live right in the downtown area. So if a pride fest were to break out here, my family and I are right in it. How do I stop my kids from seeing the nudity and sexual displays occurring around were we live? At night they would be in bed. During the day, I guess I board up my windows and live in prison until everyone gets dressed and lights a smoke? Or am I forced to move?  Not everyone had a choice here. Jeez. You guys act like no one lives and or works in these areas.

[Frood]

Dove, you've more than qualified to have your remaining "warnings" removed for the somewhat reasonable manner in which you and RW are playing nice again.



Well done.  

[RW]

Dove, are you telling me that aside from boarding up your windows, you could t think of any other way to prevent your kids from viewing a gay pride parade?



Maybe things are different in the U.S. but here in Canada we have these things called curtains.
