1. Of course.

2. Noted.

3. Worship?  No... But noted.

4. Sorry, celebration is more correct.

5. I did not do that. I accept what you tell me.

I tell people that I'm conservative, and I ask them to accept that. However. Just like people who tell me I'm not conservative suspect that I'm not, I can't change their minds.

And I can suspect whatever I want of you. But I accept what you say. I just wish people accepted me the way I accept your claims. 

 

 

Michael, I accept your posts and claims far more than from many on this forum.

I do not always agree and I do not have to, just like you do not have to agree with me but, we are civil towards each other.

As I said to someone that just accused me of being homophobic, I have colleagues, friends and relatives that are gay and we get along professionally and personally and socially. My circle of gay friends are not in favour and are somewhat embarrassed by the display and activities of pride month

C'mon man:

Also what "outward display of sexuality" are you talking about, are you one of those cishet people who thinks pride parades are non stop f*ck fests?

Wow, you are a bit if an A hole eh? You will not win and argument against me so...give it up and move on . I have my opinion, I am entitled and it does not in any way affect you  or have to coincide with yours.

Display...you know, the show, the leathers, the fetish costumes and on and on...that is display.

f*ck fest?? Who brought that up? Oh yeah, you did ...dolt!!

Yeah a lot of older ones feel that way.

I have opinions about a lot of public ceremonies that I keep to myself.  Mass events are garish and crude whether they're elections, concerts, award shows or sporting events.

I would ban them ALL. 😡

Oh see when you said you were put off by "displays of sexuality" I thought that meant actual sexuality, not costumes.

That's much stupider.

I think it's the younger ones who are more prudish. Every Pride event I've ever gone to, the people who were really flaunting it were usually the older folks because they're the ones who know what Pride was like before it went corporate.

Not liking gay people is the literal definition of homophobia my guy.

How do you explain what happens when gay pride meets pro-Palestinian/Hamas? 

That's got to be so awkward for the left?

Displays of sexuality or is this phots a sales pitch for thongs?

Unlike you I don't think that Hamas being as homophobic as Republicans means it's ok to murder children.

We're talking about "not liking" an entire group of people, dipshit. I don't like you, but I'm not "loser with no life" phobic, but if I said I didn't like the people of your racial or ethnic background, that would make me a bigot.

:LOL - it's always so cute when you think you're being intelligent and then just wind up having a mental breakdown  

You can "generally" dislike things without being 'phobic' about them, including groups.  There are many people who dislike religious people, or don't care for politicians, etc etc.  Some people are cat people, some are dog people.  That doesn't mean their afraid of cats or dogs. 

I know - your kind wants ANYTHING short of ABSOLUTE ACCEPTANCE AND WORSHIP of those groups you approve of to be considered to be 'terrible'.  But no, that's just childish thinking. 

Sorry little guy - try again

Uh, disagree on many things? The Hamas people want the gay people to die. Do you think that's just a disagreement they can ignore? I mean, don't get me wrong, the gay pride people ARE ignoring it. But that just shows that their ideology is more important to them than their sexuality.

No one makes you go to thw Santa Claus Parade or the Greek Festival or the Pride Parade. No one's trying to "make" you or your kids gay.

This incessant claiming that they are makes one think in the most Freudian of explanations that you're unconciously insecure of your own sexuality, like deathly afraid that if you're taken up the bum, you'll  like it,

All i can say about those funny looking gay clowns in those gay pride parades is that they all look silly as hell. They should keep their gay lifestyle where it belongs. In the closet. Heterosexual people keep our lifestyle pretty much in the closet. We do not flaunt our heterosexual lifestyle. We do not see heterosexuals prancing around in some parade half or fully naked. 

Heterosexual parents should feel ashamed for bringing their children to any gay pride parades. Show some heterosexual class, will you. Works for me. 😇

1. Yeah, so why is this hilarious for people who don't like "the left" ?  Quote intentional.

2. As in "they disagree with civilians being bombed whether they're homophobic or not" ?  Well, then good for them I guess.  I also don't want people I disagree with to die horribly.  Maybe it's a real chuckle for some, I don't know.

1. There are MANDATORY festivals?

2. You're executing a semantic exercise to try to bend your opinion into fact here. 

3. You think it's simple, but it's politics so you have to make an argument that convinces others.  I think that the concept of 'tolerance' is simple but I also see that we need to explain it sometimes.

...

Our education system has always engaged in expressions of culture, including those with a moral aspect.  But they are not religious, and care is taken to proscribe agreeable lines to protect the rights of those who object.  It can be and often is a messy affair.  One example is allowing parents to opt their children out.

But reasonable people understand that such discussions need to be respectful.

We also give a day for Native People, a Month for Black People, a day for lovers... Etc.

Celebrate or don't.

It sure would be nice to have and see a White History Month. Don't you agree? Just asking.

The real question is the exact opposite. Why should gay people have to "put up with" the likes of you?

Guy who constantly fills his diaper over not having a white history month crying about another group getting recognized lmao boo hoo.

I demand a White History Month.

White lives matter.

Where have all the white people gone.

Stop black on white crimes.

We know that they are recognized but what they really need to do now is for them to stfu about there pathetic sexual lifestyle.  Enough already, blackie boy. 🤮

The real question is why should straight people have to continue to put up with the likes of their silly ass sexual bullshit lifestyle? Keep it in the closet where it belongs. They need to stop trying to indoctrinate young children. They had their day, now stfu. Works for me. 😁

Right now in my town,the gay flag is flying higher then the maple leaf and the flags around our cenotaph. They wanted the town to paint benches and crosswalks, and when people said no, they called the town homophobic. And who gave them the right to take the rainbow as their own. Made a beautiful thing political and ugly. They are losing support with this militant attitude.

 

The gay people need to back off from trying to promote their pathetic gay lifestyle because there are many straight groups of parents out there that want their nonsense to end and are getting mighty fed up with their gay lifestyle bullshit. They need to end all of their gay parades, and the mounting of gay flags on city hall flag poles, and rainbow colored painted crosswalks. Enough already of their pathetic weird sexual lifestyle nonsense. ☹️

1. I am , without doing Google populations searches that there waaaaay more Blacks than sexually challenged people.

2. Yes, they were, by majority, pressured to take down the pride flags because folks are very upset at kowtowing to a very small minority and for an entire month too.

3.You are incorrect, In GTA and here in Ottawa (and probably elsewhere), unformed police were actually banned from participating but it was OK for them to crowd control and protect while in uniform. A most hypocritical decision by a group whining and wanting inclusion. As for people coming to see, are you saying they, the pride people,  want to be gawked at???

4. I could not care who you are boinking or if you want to dress up as a squirrel but, do I have to know? Do I have to celebrate? No, but it is difficult to get away from it. I even have to see flags on every public building. Do I have to even see public displays of your fetishes? We do not "celebrate" or "display" or have a month for heterosexual activities. Hey, do what you want but do not demonstrate it publicly....for a whole month.

To be fair, I am not in favour of public demonstrations of any kind but am even more of those that seem to want months of display.

I am not homophobic in the slightest, I am look-at-me-and-what -I -am-phobic. I do not care who you are, what you do or who and why you are boinking someone

 

I would love to know who MH is boinking. 🤣

When he used to be known as Mr. Canada, he posted that he was going to Pride to videotape sex acts. Search it.

Some reliable source here was telling me that they once saw you at a gay pride parade taking videos of some of those gay guys walking around naked in the street. Do you watch those videos when you are alone in bed at night? Does it crank your yank? I bet it does.🤣🤣

You are such a funny, thilley boy. Would you like for Mr Canada to go over to your place sometime and let him show you as to what he can do to you behind your back? I bet that you would love to find that out, hey, you thilley boy? Bend over, rover. 🤣

[Venandi]

Good Lord, I sometimes wonder if we've collectively (and irretrievably) lost the middle ground and are doomed to stagger back and forth between the extremes. 

The scorched earth and "crush your enemies" approach shouldn't be adopted as nominal unless you really do want to stagger back and forth on a well worn trail with only hard left and hard right turns available to you.

There's a full 270 degrees on the compass rose that gets missed in the blur of those turns and it comes with predictable opportunity costs. There may come a time when we view the simple act of living our own lives in freedom and without someone else's norms and ideals stuffed down our throats as the good old days. I already do.

The freedom to do just that was already bought and paid for, yours by right of birth and all ya had to do in order to keep it was..... nothing.

It's breathtaking to me that people are simply incapable of minding their own business and leaving others alone. Ride your own horse, enjoy the warmth of the sun, feel the rush of the wind, just leave my f------ horse alone.

And stop voting for Conan and then complaining that the lamentations of the women are too loud, that they keep you awake at night and then enacting laws to restrict the lamentations you created in the first place. 

If military service was mandatory, and people were compelled to complete 3 foreign deployments each, the most common question in Canada would be WTF did you think was going to happen?

My gay friends have to be very careful where they go on vacation. There are many anti gay countries. Bringing up Hamas is just stupid as they are far from being alone in theoir attitude.
