Remember when homosexuality was listed as a mental illness? I think the folks who "march" in Gay Pride Parades are making the case it actually is a mental illness.

It's all about forcing acceptance and refusal to allow ME to say what I think.

"You all want a straight pride parade but where's your straight stonewall?," asked another user, who added: "Where are the families throwing you out for being straight? Where are the police raiding your bars, invading your privacy, fining and locking you up for existing? You want the fun part, but can't handle the worst part."
[This year is the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots which led to the birth of the US gay rights movement in June 1969.]
Former Minnesota State Senate candidate, Shawn Olson, suggested that rather than be aggrieved by the lack of straight pride events, heterosexuals should "be grateful you don't need one".Last edited by firstfloor; 06-07-2019, 03:08 AM.“I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.” ― Oscar Wilde

When straight people are persecuted as gay people were and are then they can hold parades but as they are not and indeed never will be then they should simply let the LGBTQIA community get on with their rejoicing at no longer having to hide or die."Obama is not a brown-skinned, anti-war socialist who gives away free healthcare.

Maybe participation in parades should be limited to those who produce evidence that they have personally suffered persecution, rather than being open to anyone who just happens to claim they have been persecuted - because someone they heard of was persecuted in the mid 20th century.1Cor 15:34 Come to your senses as you ought and stop sinning; for I say to your shame, there are some who know not God.

That IS a worth-while celebration though.1Cor 15:34 Come to your senses as you ought and stop sinning; for I say to your shame, there are some who know not God.
