[quote:Anonymous Coward 49311670:MV8yNTA5MzIwXzQzMzUwMTg2XzdEQjY2QTFF] [quote:Anonymous Coward 11690572:MV8yNTA5MzIwXzQzMzQ5OTgyXzM0QTA5OTg1] Just like a gay pride activist is proud to be gay I am straight and proud to be straight so proud I would be willing to fly a flag above my head without the hate or prejudice against gays... I am just simply proud of what I am and that should be okay. I am saddened that some assume because you have pride in what you are automatically gives some people in a different group the mentality to think I hate them. Be proud of yourself no matter what you are. If you live life sad, confused, and not yourself then you're not really living life to begin with. [/quote] Well for one, a hetero flag would be seen as an assualt or opposition. It isnt about somones sexual preference. I couldnt care less. But there is an underlying moral code that places a 30 foot cock float as vulgarity over celebrating being born that way. And please try to tell me it doesnt happen. I will laugh in your face. I went to a pride parade in columbus with a friend of mine and his boyfriend. I am hetero and married by the way. He was embarrassed at the behavior of people there. He said man if you and your wife did any of this stuff on a public street you would be in jail. He was right. It really makes gay life harder for people with a sense of moral decency. It makes the world look down on the likes of the few squeeky wheels demanding the lube. Sorry about the pun if you read this mike :) He is probably the best friend a guy could have and i feel bad for him because of this. [/quote]
Original Message
Guinness Beer will not sponsor the New York St. Patrick's Day parade this year because gay and lesbian groups are prohibited by openly marching and carrying banners/signs announcing their sexual orientation.
Behind the headlines is always the truth and this is no exception. What reports fail to detail is that the infamous Stonewall bar (a gay bar in the village that is credited with being the location of the gay rights movement in the 60s) threatened to stop serving Guinness in their establishment if Guinness was a sponsor of the parade (those gay bastards must drink a lot of Guinness). They shook Guinness down and the bastards folded.
What a crock of malarky.
The parade doesn't care if you march/skip/sashay/down Fifth Avenue lighter than a checking account after Jon Corzine has been in the vicinity. They simply disallow formal gay designations (i.e. banners/signs). Their call. Their perogative, Bobby Brown, but, as always, it's money that matters.
And the agenda marches (or doesn't) on.
Boycott Guinness and eat a ChickFilet today.
Dye it green, bitches.
