The entertainment for the day included a comedy skit that was performed by "Up with (Gay) People!" It featured a duo named Sandy and Christy who were played by Kelsey Flynn and Julie Waggoner. The pair shared this dialogue with the audience:

"We used to be scared straight. Scared straight was a federally-funded program in which pardoned, former homosexuals - such as Sandy and myself - went to colleges, universities and various public gatherings around the country bringing our message of hope to vulnerable, impressionable young people, such as yourselves, before it was too late. We wanted you to get scared straight. But after long, hard, honest self-reflection …We're no longer scared straight. Huh-uh. No. Now we are comfortable with our homosexuality, and we want you to be, too."

This is considered comedy? < nausia >

Another little boy - wearing a red boa - sat in a jeep, which bore this message: "We're Here. We're Queer. Our parents think we're studying."

It's good to see the gays have the best interests of the child at heart! < /sarcasm >

These people are sickos!

[Caipirabob]

This is one reason Muslims hate us.

I simply don't see any of them as approaching us from a morally superior position. I don't like this either, but I don't equate it to all Americans supporting this behavior. If this is a reason they hate all of us, it's just one more piece of evidence they are too stupid to ever be reasoned with. Personally, first hand, I don't need any further evidence.

[ohioman]

Mercifully, I thought you were dead.

[GuillermoX]

I tend to agree with you. They're not in a morally superior position than we're in, but...they're right when they criticize us for this, abortion, and other radical lefty agendas that this country has embraced.

[Marysecretary]

Oh, I agree wholeheartedly. I know gays have always existed and they have a right to live the way they wish, but NOT shoving their lifestyle in our faces for our approval, and especially not bringing innocent children into this. It's sickening to think of how they go after our kids. Consensual sex between adults is one thing. Getting young children involved is sickening.

8,000 -- wow what a big crowed (sarcasm)

That's a huge crowd for western Massachusetts. The population of the city of Northampton is 30,000, and the surrounding towns are even smaller.

Basically, they've taken over. Even worse, they've taken over one of the most beautiful geographic areas of Massachusetts, along with Provincetown.

[doberville]

Ooooooooooooo. I like your mind. . .

[Diago]

I think I'll need toread this later - - on an empty stomach. Bump.

Hey Cal, are you from NorthHampton by the way. Were you on the line collecting signatures for the Marrage Act? Were you harassed by these scum? If you weren't get out of your head and get on the streets and see what these people are like.
