    I enjoy Pride festivities and have been to a few events in the past.

    But this year, the Pride Toronto organizing committee can suck a spiked dildo and die.

    Long story short: at last year's Toronto Pride parade, Black Lives Matter blockaded the parade for about an hour and gave a list of several demands, which were eventually agreed to by the Pride organizing committee. One of those conditions included excluding police officers from officially attending the event. Flash forward after much public debate, and it turns out New York City is more welcoming than Toronto.

    And even the pastor who has presided over the event for over twenty years pointed out the issues surrounding the history of his own church and said Pride should be inclusive.

    The icing on the cake is that it has been thunder-storming all day.

    Fuck Pride Toronto and fuck these leftist idiot groups who just reek of hypocrisy.

    The first time I went to a Pride parade, I was surprised to find how many people were there with their children. The parade itself was fairly family friendly. The City of San Diego allows girls to be topless with rainbow pasties and they don't say anuthing, which is the extent of the craziness of our Pride here.

    Last year's was even more toned down than the one in 2013. Maybe part of that was because of the events in Orlando the month before, but even if I had the weekend off this year i would have skipped it anyway.

    I don't get this attitude and considering all the brouhaha from BLM about white culture stealing from us and making everything about themselves to the rampant homo/biphobia that exists in black communities (at least in the American bramches: maybe black Canucks are more open minded), the display at last year's pride was hypocritical at best.

    Philadelphia had the right idea of unveiling a flag with black and brown stripes as a talking point about the racism that exists there, but stopping a whole parade smacks of the same cuntery as dumbass white college kids blocking freeways and refusing to let a man walk ON FOOT to the next exit to his minimum wage job.

    Haven't read the thread yet, but have any of the homophobia arguments gotten any more sophisticated than "I don't like strawberry ice cream, therefore no one who should have strawberry ice cream! :mad:"?

    this is about as wild it gets here at the Augusta Pride parade. :zzz: Gee, you don't see shirtless men everyday - that could be half my neighborhood cutting their grass or running.

    Pride in Seattle is straight tame compared to our annual Solstice Parade.

    You mean other than all the families there? :unsure: The last one I went to had a bounce house and face painting, craft tables...stuff like that.

    Shirtless dudes kissing doesn't cause the same emotional reaction in me that it does in you, apparently. :shrug:

    I think there was a brief allusion to the Magical Man in the Sky not liking strawberry ice cream as well.

    There's also a lot of complaining about Pride becoming "too corporate." And while I get the sentiment -- "if you weren't willing to stand with us when we were getting the shit kicked out of us, don't try to march with us now that we're popular" -- I also keep wanting to say "for fuck's sake, when your cause is so widely accepted that the notoriously gutless corporate America wants to jump on board, that means you've WON."

    I google image searched gay pride and it was one of the first things to come up. Don't believe me, try it.

    Perverted filth parading around nude in front of underage children. I guess that kind of thing makes Anc's tiny pecker hard. :jayzus:

    I weep for Anc's kids. :(

    An unnatural familiarity with your mother's naked body explains a lot about you Dickynoo.

    She turned to you for satisfaction when daddy couldn't get the job done.

    Makes sense. If you were the best that dad's loins could produce, no wonder mom decided to look elsewhere.

    1. Go to YouTube and look up a documentary called "The Tribe That Hides From Man." It was made in the late 60s/early 70s, and it's about efforts in Brazil to deal with tribes in the Amazon.
    2. Notice that everybody in the tribe goes around naked, or nearly so.
    3. Understand that one of the ways anthropologists recognize if a tribe has encountered Christian missionaries is that the women have their breasts covered (for some reason, men having their wieners exposed is no big deal, but titties are a no-no).
    4. Realize that for much of human history, humanity has gone around in various stages of undress.
    5. Don't forget that when the Olympic Games were held in ancient Greece, the athletes were nude.
    6. Finally, Rome fell after the Christians had taken over, not before, when the hedonistic pagans were running the show.

    Savages running around the jungle living like animals is irrelevant. Animals don't need clothing, true. But we're not animals (at least, we're supposed to be more advanced than that).

    Adults prancing around naked in front of their own kids and others' kids at a homosexual parade orgy is child abuse, plain and simple.

    Maybe we need to discuss gay men's fascination with underage boys. That's what got Milo Yiannopoulis in trouble, talking about how it's an accepted part of gay culture for older, experienced male fags to take young boys under their wing and teach them the joys of cock.

    Who was John's sex mentor, I wonder? How old was he when an adult man showed him the homosexual ropes?

    Ever notice how repressed people lump everything together?
    There's no distinction.
    Gay equals pedophilia, equals incest, equals necrophilia, equals cannibalism.

    Gee, could it be because they're fucking afraid of everything?
    If fear of getting caught jerking off scares you as much as a serial killer busting in, I can see how it would all bleed together.
