Republicans would if they could.

Am quite sure Democrats would assassinate Trump and behead him if they could. What's your point?

I would run over a squeegie kid if they tried cleaning my windshield even after honks of disproval.

Legally I can't, so I don't.

Am quite confident if we listed the type of s*** people would do if they could, we would have enough to warrant calling investigators to the scene. 

Reality, is that the line is far greater, because in actuality there is no comparison.

Where are you that the they shut down an entire city for an entire month for Pride events?

If you revile it so much.. i would consider moving. in my neck of the woods.. it shuts down a 4 block radius from 10 am to 4 pm on a given saturday in June. As for events.. there are some but given the size of the town, one can easily avoid them. They are almost always at coffee shops (downtown) and at public libraries. 6 or 7 buildings out of 10K

The poster you were responding to was talking about places being unavailable aka shut down for 6 hours. 

And I was saying pride lasts a month....

Seems you have issues with keeping up LOL

Or we could move them.

And inevitably that's what it comes down to, and US versus them mentality where the relationship becomes hostile and one group seeks to attack the other group one way or another.

I'm not sure why you would recommend that as a course of action.

Is that both parties need to be a little bit more respectful and realize that not everybody agrees with homosexuality or the homosexual lifestyle, just as not all homosexuals are going to agree with family life or religious belief. The secret to having a happy society is not to get in each other's face about things that we don't agree on and rather find things we do agree on and focus on that.

Having a gay month would be fine if we had straight month where all of the celebrations were about heterosexual relationships and raising children and why that's so amazing but a football player just mentioned that the other day at a religious school and the hatred that poured out was palpable. 

If it has to come down to a confrontation my money will be on the heterosexuals in the end. We've seen this before in history, periods were gays were extremely tolerated followed by. Where they were absolutely reviled and lost their rights. I'd rather see it go a different way. But that's a choice that others will have to make as well

Well, to move them.. you would have to do so in a legal sense. In the U.S... that is quite the task. To legally bar a gay pride parade from existing would be a Herculean legal task at present. As for private businesses (coffee shops) having some gay pride event, you can't legally bar them from doing so because it is not a crime.

 

Most here tolerate it because it occupies less than 1% of the city's land area for 6 hours (6 /8760 hours in a year is a pretty small number). Besides, downtown in June is not the go to spot for locals. 97 degrees, not a cloud in the sky, and not the shadiest area... none too pleasant. As for the relatively few events.. easily avoided. Thousands of other options.

Which reminds me... why do they have RIB FEST at the same time as Burning Man ??

Yes Pride month lasts a month no kidding. But there's no disruption, you can avoid it if you want.

I do not know that answer. There is not a lot of cross over in the two pools (so to speak). Have never done burning man but have been out to the black rock desert (the playa) quite a few times. It is a different kind of place for sure

Why would we need to celebrate something that is the universally accepted default? As much as I dislike the corporate co-opting of Pride, it exists because of the historical oppression of queer people. When have straight parents ever been oppressed?

I think that there's a case for it.

 

And you either allow various levels of rights or you don't.  There are cases where people get into fights with plainclothes cops and get extra punishment.

No same level of rights for everyone. Those persons should appeal the judgements unless they broke the law and cops (plainclothes or otherwise) tried to stop them.

There's no basis for appeal if the law is written as I described.

And changing that wouldn't fly politically.

How is the law written currently? That if plainclothes officers got into fight with people without any reason (like to uphold the law) then it is always the innocent people who will be judged against?

Forcing... maybe not.

You certainly can't force me, but I don't like to see people who don't share those values pressured either, and it doesn't matter who they are.

IMO, liberals and Muslims shamelessly used each other for political expediency, now that liberals are finding out that Muslims don't actually share their woke values, their heads are exploding.

It's becoming far too common a question for the woke crowd: "what did you think was going to happen"?

So never mind forcing, there should be no pressure and no coercion either.

The sort of pressure applied is usually more subtle than in the video, but it's also more common in the school system than many think. 

 

 

At least we have the Muslims on our side that will not have anything to do with this gay pride nonsense. Only white leftist liberal buffoons will support such gay like sillyness. Real white men do not wear pink shirts or ties.

She thinks that we should all accept what the gays are doing, and if we do not like it, well to dam bad for them. What gall that this leftist loonie teacher has to lecture kids in school that they should attend pride parades and support their gayness. These gays should not be allowed to block streets off for hours just to be able to flaunt their gay way of sickness. That is my street too. Good on the Muslims. Works for me.

I think that was the nature of the Umar Zameer case that recently went through the courts.

The gays have all the rights that we straight people now enjoy today, you dumb ass. The gays are not being suppressed anymore, you dumb ass. Your point is mute and so are you, dumb ass. 😛

In reality, there are so many anti straight family Marxist groups out there that do want to try and destroy the straight family. That is but one of the many things that Marxists are trying to do all the time. Destroy the straight family is a part of their Marxist agenda, comrade. 🤡

And if you're in a public school they shouldn't be celebrating beliefs, lifestyles, religions etc.  You can teach facts about it, that's it.

Every individual is free to celebrate Pride.  Governments and public schools probably shouldn't be pushing it.  If students want to celebrate it they have the right.

By "pushing it" you mean even mentioning queer people or their concerns, right? Forcing you to walk on the same sidewalk without spitting, hitting or shouting insults. Such oppression.

Kids go to school to learn how to read, write and do arithmetic. Parents do not send their children to school to get indoctrinated into the queer world and also not to learn about how many genders there are and having a number of pronouns added to their profiles. It's no wonder that kids today are coming out dumber then when they started school. Even our young teenage adults no more about genders and pronouns then geography.

The teacher should be fired. Where is Donald Trump when we need him. YOUR FIRED!!! 😁

If you can think of even one on the negative side then they really shouldn't. When in doubt, the government should always take a position of neutrality. Unless there is a requirement to do something, if there are any significant downsides they should avoid doing it and leave it up to the citizens.

Governments May arguably have a duty to celebrate the nation's holidays such as Canada Day, or the provincial holiday such as BC day here in British Columbia or things like that. They're not really required to do anything else and if it's controversial we're going to create divisions then they shouldn't. If people want a pride month then the people can choose to celebrate it in whatever fashion they wish. Governments and government agencies can acknowledge that it exists but they shouldn't be promoting it if there are any controversial elements.

Even things like religious holidays, if you're going to allow one then you must allow them all equally.

Whenever you separate a group and put them on a pedestal, whether it's gays, for whites, or blacks, or small green men from mars, what happens is you promote hatred for that group. The groups think of themselves as being told that they are less than this special privileged group and they will become resentful. Especially if that group is controversial.

The government has a duty to try and avoid spreading hatred and bigotry and because that does both I would argue that there are no possible positives that could override that for something that the government doesn't have a mandate to do

When we get a, probably a lesbian teacher, pushing the gay lifestyle on innocent children, then that is indoctrination. 

Young children in school do not need to learn about the gay world. They will hear all about it on their own one day. 

Keep the gay nonsense in the closet just like we do with our straight lifestyle. Straight people do not go around pushing  their straight lifestyle on others like gays are always trying to do, Herbert. 🤣
