Oh, so now I said it was ok for them to get beaten up? Dont mess with what I mean, I'm just saying that they have no sympathy from me if they do.no matter where you go,
there you are.

Boom The Cat wrote:Yes, I really do. I speak out on gay parades the most because they serve no purpose, they dont raise awareness at all. All they do is make an enemy for themselves, and then they come crying to us when they get the shit beaten out of them as if its our fault.
What general purpose does an Irish, Puerto Rican, or veteran parade have that a pride parade doesn't?
And, um, heteros make a really big deal out of their relationships. For godsakes weddings are a billion dollar industry, people have several announcements and save the dates, and registries, and on and on. But I sure as hell don't beat the hell out of them and tell them it's because they made such a big deal out of it.if you wanna be a friend of mine

I know, and I dont like those either. Dont try and pin me down as 'Homophobic' because I'm not, just because I dont like the parades doesnt mean I dont like them. The main pride parade this year was actually boycotted by a company (ran by gays) that usually funds it because it has lost his meaning.no matter where you go,

They often can't, really they aren't that excepted as one might like to believe. You don't get kicked your head in for walking hand in hand do you?
You might not care. That wasn't the point now was it? You talked about acceptance. I didn't made these comments because I thought you might have a problem, I posted that because they have a problem. They do not get excepted. And then again how ugly is that to get excepted, what does that say about you? This is not respect for another human being. Would you like to be tolerated? Would that make you feel part of society? Would that be something that added to your happiness?
Sure I get what you are saying and it is somewhere in me as well, but it is wrong on some level just like on some level it is wrong to dance half naked in the street, whether you are guy or straight.« One man's glory is another man's hell.

Frankly, it's not the parade issue that is causing the most concern. It's this:Boom The Cat wrote:Its their own fault. NOT for being gay, but for having to make such a big deal out of it.
So, I'll look forward to your responses to hippiemom's posts in regard to that (and my hetero relationship comment if you're so inclined).if you wanna be a friend of mine

They do make a big deal out of it, if they did it in a feild, I wouldnt care, but it is so inconveinient for everyone who wants to drive anywhere. Take midgets for example, they get it worse than gays. But they dont have a midget parade. (If they do, they dont make a big deal out of it)no matter where you go,
there you are.

Are you always unsympathetic? Or are you sympathetic when women are raped or random people are mugged and beaten? I'm just trying to gauge this.if you wanna be a friend of mine

So? You still aren't answering the question. Or maybe you're saying if a midget gets beaten, you'd feel sympathetic because he or she didn't 'make a big deal out of it'?
Exactly what city do you live in and how many of these pride parades are there a year? Just curious . . .if you wanna be a friend of mine

I don't think I could ever beat up a midget though, that's just mean."Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity." ~ MLK, 19630 -

I know I wouldn't feel bad if you did that. And it's only because it took me longer to drive somewhere!if you wanna be a friend of mine

Heres how it goes:
If gays want to parade around and make a pain in the ass of themselves (They do, navigating through parades is a pain in the ASS, and seeing as we get about 5 minor parades and one big parade a year its fucking annoying) then thats up to them, but if someone gets pissed off and beats one up, I have no sympathy, I wouldnt have any sympathy if it happened in a straight parade.no matter where you go,
there you are.
