[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would I bother with this?  Seriously??

We socialize with friends of all types.  In our home, we model tolerance.

No need for us to schlep everyone to some raunchy parade to celebrate something everyone should already accept.[/quote]

Agree.  I don’t feel a need to take my kids to a parade celebrating people’s sexuality and sexual preferences.  This is not at all comparable to going to a gay wedding as someone mentioned earlier in the thread [/quote]

Sexual orientation, it's not a preference.  Are you gay but prefer to be straight?  No.

Don't be an idiot.[/quote]

NP. Pride parades often do celebrate preferences (thus leather/leashes/bondage/twinks etc). Nothing wrong with that but isn’t it possible that parents think that’s a step past “it’s totally fine to be gay and be proud of that”?

Also the focus on “born this way” rather than “chose this way” is such a sop to progressives. If gay people chose to be gay, would that change how you felt about them/pride?[/quote]

If Santa was real would that change how I felt about Christmas?  I can't answer something that isn't true.  Gay people are born that way.  I have a gay child, this is who she is.  She doesn't have a preference for it -

And why is everyone so obsessed with the bondage aspect of pride?  I've been going for decades and rarely see this.  Am I missing a really cool event somewhere?[/quote]
