I wouldn't expect gay people to realize how dumb parades of this nature are. Knowing that you live in a world, and belong to the same species that wants to dresss up and go wiggling down the street for some twisted unnatural sex reason, and acceptance with the were people too you know.....is embarrassing.
you don't know how to read then
show me the quote.
Sure thing. I already have once, but I can do it again:

I find them boring. Just a bunch of churches, synagogues, politicians and businesses marching down a street marketing themselves.
Really? In gay pride parades?
From what I see on the news, they are like Clark Park describes - colorful and happy.
Or are you talking about just regular parades? Out here, our small town parades are a lot of businesses and politicians and log trucks and horses and fire trucks and classic cars, but they are still fun. Especially if there's music.
I was surprised more heterosexuals have the disease than gays in Europe - albeit not by much in Western Europe. Eastern Europe heterosexual transmission is leaps and bounds higher than male to male - Russia has an alarming increase in Heterosexual transmission! I suspect highly Africa and India along with S.E Asia will have statistics supporting higher prevalence among heterosexuals.
btw your characterization that gays are not normal is not only not supported by your APA but is actually an offensive statement!

Oh please. You have not answered my question at all - you haven't even attempted to answer it. Simply saying that DOMA violates state's rights and the 10th Amendment is not an EXPLANATION. It's simply an unfounded claim. Not to mention you won't even address the main aspect of DOMA - that it instructs the Federal government to discriminate against gay people and deny them equal rights (if you don't remember how we started down this road, it was when you said gays aren't discriminated against under the law and I challenged that assertion by pointing to DOMA as an obvious and clear example to counter that).
For someone who has expressed aspirations of attending law school, I would think you'd jump at the opportunity to delve into the nitty-gritty of laws like DOMA and have a robust debate about it. If you think simply repeating the same unfounded statement is a legal analysis, you're going to last about 5 minutes in law school.
Where in the enumerated powers of Congress does one find the ability to dictate to states what their marriage laws should be?

Don't like them? Don't go to them and don't watch them on t.v.
If society likes parades...there is no reason that some other theme can be used.....This vote thing is illogical based on 50%
50% is not unanimous, therefore this bill needs to be set aside. Also 50% is not enough for gay parades, it is not unanimous, and therefore parades and the marriage idea as it is requires at least 75%....otherwise it is not unanimously welcome....a Tradition requires unanimous approval and welcome.

Research that - and then read the 10th Amendment.
Maybe then you will understand.
I understand that. However, DOMA in no way whatsoever dictates to any state what their marriage laws are, or are not, or should be, or should not be. DOMA has nothing whatsoever to do with state marriage laws.
Why can't you explain to me how you believe DOMA does dictate marriage laws to the states? That's the question I keep asking and you won't address.

Here's a straight up, unedited, uninterrupted taping of the 2010 Denver Gay Pride Parade (one of the largest in the country). Boring.
Eating shellfish is also a serious sin, according to the bible.
