I'll be at the Gay Pride Parade 2010!

I'm just skeptical of the premise that dressing up in hot-pink leotards and brandishing dongs at people is going to accomplish anything-- anything at all-- that's of benefit to the gay community in the 21st century.

Well, it goes without saying that men should not wear pink leotards. Just as women should not wear traditionally masculine-type clothes, like trousers.

In fact, more specifically, it is largely about the male gay-ness of it all, since this offends sensibilities far more.

I think it offends the male sensibility far more; not so sure about women.

[Mr.Canada]

Too many people here want to give them a free pass because the people being criticized are homosexuals who are a minority in this country which means automatically the socialists will side with them.

If 2 staright people were having sex on a downtown street in front of children people would up in arms and demanding they be arrested. Hell there'd be a public inquiry about how underfunded the police force is.

However since it's homosexuals behaving badly it's all good and fine. It's ok for them to have oral sex in public, it's ok for them to have anal sex in public. It's perfectly natural for them to lead each other around by the bolt through the cock. Or to have one man pinching the head another mans penis through a hole in his chaps, while salivating and groaning. Yes, yes critics believe all this is perfectly fine behavior to partake in in front of children.

I disagree and think it's child abuse. If this was going on in front of children in someones home the adults would be aressted and the children would become wards of the CAS. Therules shouldn't change because the people having the sex happen to be homosexuals. This is deviant behavior and they need to punished.

I don't think many people would defend public sex, no matter who was doing it. A bit of public nudity, well, not a good idea, but not that bad. Public sex, I woulds ay, is a no no.

I don't think many people would defend public sex, no matter who was doing it. A bit of public nudity, well, not a good idea, but not that bad.

Yeah, it is that bad, no matter what one thinks of nudity, because it's unsanitary. Quite frankly, I wouldn't want my child climbing on a bench that just had a bare ass sitting on it. I wouldn't want to be on a bench that just had a bare ass sitting on it, either. And I as I look around at the bare asses, I wouldn't want to have to wonder if I'm going to touch something they've had their ass on.

[Sir Bandelot]

I understand, but you know what? Animals poo on everything. Not just dogs and cats, but birds. They don't even wipe their bums, and they sit on picnic tables. And FISH too, like when you go swimming!

In fact, the whole outside world is covered in poo poo. Think about it.

[Oleg Bach]

Oleg. I enjoyyour posts but they are always very cryptic in nature for some reason. Can you please decipher this into plain English if you don't mind? Hahaha.

IT I guess is my notion on the long term effects of abortion..that we really do not know who we stopped from living - I suspect that there are great people floating around in the ether that need to be here..It might be the proverbial battle of good and evil- stupidity is evil - I truely belived that in a very STALIN sort of way that we through attrition destroyed our best human resourses.

NOW on to the gay issue - I simply do not believe that this amount of gayness was generated by nature..I believe that some are mutants and are to be protected - and the vast majority is created - because gays are compliant in a material selfish fashion - they make good corporate citizens who do not question the ethics of material existance - shallow - and selfish..anti-social in the long run.

I was hoping my point would be made without having to get more explicit, because I wasn't just thinking "poo." Think about it; it's not just their bums that are bare. There's a reason why people are encouraged to practice safe sex, and it's not just to prevent pregnancies.

What in hell is "gay-ness"?

[g_bambino]

No, being unsanitary is unsanitary; one can be naked without being filthy.

[Jack Weber]

It's kinda like 'truthiness"....

[Mr.Canada]

No, being unsanitary is unsanitary; one can be naked without being filthy.

This doesn't mean I want to see people reaching climax in public. Either anally or genitally, male or female. Wandering around nude and public sex have nothing to do with being queer. Not to mention some of it is aganinst the law. I plan to showcase this as well as the police, organizers if they plan to do nothing about the blatant sex in the pressence of children.

A man standing over a bench with his penis rubbing against it or his bare bottom on a park bench, scratching it on the corner of it....disgusting.

Not to mention the blatant anti Semitism. What does being anti Israel have to do with gay pride?

[Guest American Woman]

No, being unsanitary is unsanitary; one can be naked without being filthy.

Sure, one can be. Doesn't mean everyone is. Just as one can be honest, but not everyone is, and we don't take it for granted that strangers are. Furthermore, one can use a public restroom without making it filthy, but obviously not everyone does.

There's a reason for the 'no shoes, no shirt, no service' policy, and it's for sanitary reasons. Same with people baring it all in public. It's unsanitary.

Well some of the local kids around here say that surfing and American beer are gay. The surfers agree with them on the beer but figure their nemeses don't surf because they can't get out of their Momma's basements - which of course is even gayer than surfing right? These kids print up tee shirts and bumper stickers to communicate their feelings to the world which is a little gay too when you really think about it.

I had a couple of these bozos for deckhands last year and you should have seen how gay they thought prostate exams were but I told them you're probably only gay if you push back. I takes a lot to make these guys puke, and that just about did it.

You keep going on at length and in explicit detail about what you don't want to see.

People like to picture homosexuals as some sort of furry cuddly creature. I do this to illustrate what they're really doing. I don't want people to argue with me with the cuddly and cute picture in their minds. I want them to see them for what they are doing when they're aren't on "Queer eye for the staright guy" or "Steve and Chris" or what have you.

I want to smash the msm's portrayal and idea of what the typical homosexual looks like. It is more then some soft spoken, bubbly feminine fellow who over pronounces his words and speaks softly with a limp wrist and silk scarf. I like to illustrate that with what I've seen in the past Pride parades.

Oh please do tell. What does the "typical homosexual" look like?

[nicky10013]

I provided a link to the REAL women website (but here it is again: http://www.realwomenca.com/home.html )

I can't imagine sexual acts on the street being tolerated, but it's odd that they would say the parade is "known for it," I thought. But maybe they are religious nuts who think making out is a "sexual act;" who knows? I just found it interesting that Mr. Canada's claim was backed up by this group. But maybe that's where he got his information from in the first place, who knows?

I think the parade looks like a lot of fun (providing there are no sexual acts going on in public), but it's not exactly G/PG rated from the clips I've seen, so I can understand some people objecting to their tax dollars going towards it.

Who cares. Even if this is true, everyone knows when pride is and people who don't go usually avoid the area anyways. Not because of open sexual acts but because of the traffic issues. Despite what people think, a lot of the media in Toronto is actually quite conservative. G&M to a degree, Toronto Sun, National Post and every talk radio station in the city are conservative, yet I've never really heard this become a huge issue. Indeed, CanWest Global and CTV which are decidedly less Liberal than CBC all show clips from the parade on TV. That and why not invest to cover costs on things like security. The parade brings in millions for the city.

Maybe it gets him off looking at all that stuff.

[Black Dog]

In To there are homosexuals arm locked with anti Israel people goose stepping down the street. Blatant anti Semitism and not to mention public sex going on. That's right homosexuals having sexual contact right on our streets, in public, for our children to see. Male on male oral sex, male on male anal penetration. Males leading each other around by the penis bolts that so many of them have these days. Also lesbians fingering each other and breast sucking. I've seen all these things. This is inappropriate behavior and I plan to make it very public. So watch for it.

You've already rattled of your wish list of sex acts in detail: I'm not sure why you keep on repeating it. It doesn't make you seem like less of a weirdo.

Wouldn't that be a more useful objective than the ongoing shock-and-outrage theme that many still seem intent on?

-k

"Useful" in what sense? You seem to be under the impression that Pride was intended to be a way of garnering mainstream support. It's not. It's a political performance to counter the enforced social invisibility and legal censure endured by the queer community for decades. Hence the outrageous, confrontational and over-the-top imagery traditionally associated with the event.

[Mr.Canada]

Instead of staying on topic, you chooose to malign the poster. Well that's certainly going against the grain...what an original thinker you are. Keep the flames to the post in my sig please. I set up a special place for you to flame me in order to kee pthese topics clean.

That aside you fail to dnounce such acts so you must approve of them in public, with children present. I do not share your view Miss or Mr. and I would hope that in time you will come to recognize how damaging it is for our young children to witness live sex acts in public. Shame on you sir or madam, shame.

You are a troll and an idiot. That aside, the failure to ban you doesn't mean I wouldn't welcome your departure.
