Have anyone of you been to the St. Patrick's Day parade in NYC? It is not exactly kid friendly already, there are lots of very drunk young people. Im serious when I say drunk, people are throwing up in the streets, doing drugs on street corners, having sex in public, etc.

The "gays" marching in the parade will do nothing to damage the morality of the parade, drunk straight people did a good job of that on their own.

Yeah, it's really terrible!

The captive audience who are forced to attend the parade will also be subjected to the police agenda, the beauty pageant agenda, the high school marching band agenda, the beer agenda, the guys wearing funny hats agenda, the old car collectors' agenda...I could go on, but the list of horrors is just too awful to contemplate.

Excuse me a minute, I need a cup of tea to help me recover from the vapors.

So you're saying homosexuality is immoral, and since the parade has immoral activity already, they should fit right in?

The LGBT have their own parade here in NYC yet they want to be apart of everyone else's parade. How about every pro-right group just crash their parade.

Yeah, those are all the things that make a parade a parade. Watching floats with a bunch of cross-dressers and gay men in g-strings performing sex acts and promoting their deviant lifestyle is not. Keep it in the bedroom.

No, I never said that homosexuality was immoral. I was trying to be sarcastic.

I was pointing out the hypocrasy of straight people complaining about the inclusion of gays in a parade while not commenting on the numerous other problems with the St. Patrick's Day parade that have NOTHING to do with gay people marching in it.

LGBT Group To March In NYC St. Patrick's Day Parade
Meh. As long as Fred Phelps and his little band of merry men can march in the next LGBT parade, that's fair.

The difference is that straight people are allowed and welcomed to march in the LGBT parade.

Marching and pushing an agenda behind a banner are 2 different things. If you're gay then just be gay. Why the need to advertise it?

IMHO, if they stick to the traditions and standards of the parade, it should be no big deal.

If they behave like it's the Castro Street fair, that would be a different story. However, I see no reason why they would do so since they are completely different types of events.
