The Straight Pride Movement

Even so, they are very much a minority.

If you want things to change, you have to get people's attention.

[QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"][QUOTE="3-Legged_Man"] Why can't they celebrate it in private? I have neighbors from India, and in fact a lot of Indian people live in my area, and every time there is an Indian holiday, they get together and celebrate, in their homes, or go out and have fun together, but they never make a big spectacle. That's what I'm talking about. All this gay pride stuff is just noisy, and it's like they're just crying for attention.3-Legged_Man

Oh really. Please. Like everyone doesn't have issues. You have issues too. Don't try to act like you're above me. 3-Legged_Man

Stressing myself out? When people vent, the point is that it actually de-stresses you. 3-Legged_Man

Decency standards? Are you just against any public celebration period? Are you the one who calls the police because the city's 4th of July firework show interrupts you reading your favorite novel on your back porch before heading to bed?

I mean, there are people shooting fireworks off as I speak for the New Year - are you against that too?

Oh well good - let's STEREOTYPE a group of people further to give yourself an argument - well done.

[QUOTE="3-Legged_Man"][QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"] So what do you want to do? Make it so they can only be gay in private?-Sun_Tzu-

[QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"][QUOTE="3-Legged_Man"] No, celebrate in private. In public, they should be held to the same decency standards as everyone else.3-Legged_Man

Oh I'm well aware of my own issues, but unlike you... Red-XIII

Apathy means to not care. Learn to not give a damn about these political correctness issues and you'll be a lot better off.Red-XIII

And you know how hard it is to talk some sense into people when their all swerved on meth or coke. They become disrespectful, belligerent, and uncooperative.

The reason staight people don't have pride marches and such is because... well it's kind of gay Remember "Marching for pride is for gays" (It really is)Leons-Hell

If it backed up traffic, then its a different story.UNHOLY_basic

theres nothing special about being gay It just so happens theres a lot of bigots who like to run around with "God hates **** signs. Seriously get over yourself. I dont complain about christmas parades, when theyre completely retarded and they just glorify some weird guy in a red suite breaking into peoples homes. as long as people hate, there will be the hated who stand up as push it in there face. If you want those parades to stop, it starts with you quit whining about something that dosent effect you at all. If it backed up traffic, then its a different story.UNHOLY_basic

Seriously, the reason the gay pride parades have become what they've become is because these people have been politely tapping on our shoulders for centuries wanting equality - which almost NEVER works. The best way to get someone's attention is the slap them in the face (Notice I didn't say the nicest way.)

[QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"][QUOTE="3-Legged_Man"] Actually, that's the main problem. They get in the way, make way too much noise, and everyone else has to just allow them to have their out-of-control party for a weekend, otherwise they'll cry "discrimination!" It's pathetic.3-Legged_Man

[QUOTE="guynamedbilly"][QUOTE="xaos"] Wow, what gay pride parades have you been going to? I definitely need to check yours out3-Legged_Man

[QUOTE="3-Legged_Man"][QUOTE="guynamedbilly"] Realistically, look up gay pride parade on youtube and at least the first 20 results feature near nudity and sexual antics. This is likely because those are the things people on youtube and in the news want to see, but still, the tc does have a point about the level of decency of a lgbt parade versus say St Patrick's day or Christmas.xaos

[QUOTE="3-Legged_Man"][QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"] But if the basis of banning gay pride parades is for the sake of keeping traffic from being backed up then shouldn't all parades be banned because all parades have the potential of backing up traffic?xaos

So what's your level of decency?

Mardi Gras fills the streets full of drunk people - isn't that indecent?

Mardi Gras also has the famous flashing of women's breasts for beads (ut oh nudity) - isn't that indecent?

Or is it only when gay men are naked is when its indecent?......

[QUOTE="xaos"][QUOTE="3-Legged_Man"] No, the gay pride parades generate a lot of chaos that expands beyond the parade area. Whereas, other parades are just confined to that spot. Gay pride parades usually are gay pride city takeovers.3-Legged_Man

[QUOTE="xaos"][QUOTE="3-Legged_Man"] Exactly. It's just an excuse to get together, do drugs, and be perverts.3-Legged_Man
