Gay Pride 2008 Be Supportive Not Hypocritical

Have you ever wondered about the Gay Pride Parades during the month of June? All these people bring there kids to see the floats and enjoy the music while some are still seeing red when it comes to gay couples getting married. These people are hypocrites in the biggest way. They are watching the parade and entertaining their kids free, but when it comes time to vote for gay couples to have rights to marry, they will be the first in line to mark the no box on the ballot. Yes, these people need to wake up and see what they are doing.

They are teaching their children that being gay is wrong. They are teaching their children how to hate. They might not realize what they are doing, but in all honesty, not giving somebody the right to live in a free country and have the same rights as they do is constituting bigotry and hate towards gays. The Gay Pride Parades should have shown them that gay people are not bad nor do they deserve to be discriminated against or made to feel like second class citizens.

In Chicago, over 400,000 people viewed the Gay Pride Parade and not all of them were gay. In San Francisco, even more people viewed the Gay Pride Parade and they were not all gay. The two sides of bigotry have arisen. Hate gays, but take advantage of the free entertainment they plan to make people aware. When they try to marry or change the law books, make sure they fail. Place all your time and money into making sure that they do not succeed. Vote against them and look down your nose at them because they do not conform to your way of life.

When the November ballot comes around in California, take a stand and say no to the bigots that preach the bible, but discriminate against human beings. Stand up for people in love that just want to have the same things that you have. They want a family, love and a commitment of love for each other. Is it so hard for people to understand? Does anyone really have the right to say who can marry and who cannot?

No. Everyone should have the same rights no matter what their sexual orientation is or how they choose to live. Accept it California residents and the rest of the world. Gay couples are going to get married and you are not going to stand in their way. They are gaining momentum in the eyes of the people.

My husband and I marched in the Columbus, Ohio Pride parade last weekend as members of a gay comedy podcast. There were more protesters this year than last and it really angered me because as a straight person, these bigots DO NOT represent me or my views about the GLBT community.

I think the best counter protest in our Pride parade were the number of church groups that were marching in Pride in support of GLBT people and espiecally the GLBT parents group many of whom were pushing kids in strollers. The kids weren’t “damaged” in any way as the protesters wanted us to believe. In fact, the kids were loving it because with all of the rainbow balloons et al, Pride is the most colorful local parade of the year!

Yes there are always some people that have make specticles of themselves. I am glad to hear you were in the parade. I guess what most people do not understand is that many straight singles and couples participate becasue they support freedom anf the equal rights.
