About 100 people marched through downtown Ferndale on Sunday morning in a Straight Pride Parade, billed as a celebration of the heterosexual lifestyle.
The parade was organized by talk-radio hosts Kramer and Twitch of WKRK-FM as a tongue-in-cheek event in a community that recently hosted more than 15,000 people for a gay-pride gathering. Organizers could not be reached for comment.

Um...these guys were marching in celebration of heterosexual sexual activity? With a title like that?
You can't fool me. They ain't gettin' any.
You do, you're just using it incorrectly.
"Having a publicity stunt at the expense of a minority group is insensitive," said Kosofsky, who added he plans to ask the radio station management not to hold future straight parades. "We're marching because we don't have what you have. They're doing this to promote a radio show."
Let me get this straight (no pun intended): they are trying to abrogate the free speech of straights because they feel threatened by a hundred peaceful marchers? In a community that didn't feel that 15,000 gay marchers were not a problem? LMAO! Sounds like someone can't stand a different opinion, the same thing that they claim *we* are guilty of. Kosofsky's remarks are simply hard to swallow (damn, again?). They name streets after people like Sean Kosofsky: ONE WAY.
Queerly enough (OOOPS, there I go again!), isn't it the gays that were so intimidating a while back to a group of newbie Catholic priests in NY? The joke was on them, because many of them were probably homosexuals, not to mention homosexual pedophiles, as recent events indicate.
,,, that, surely, must be synonymous with pride.
Kosofsky said organizers further mocked the gay community by holding the parade on the same street as the gay-pride festival and during gay-pride month.
,,, who can really speak for the street being subjected to enough "inclusion"? Next year maybe the triangle set could use some back street.
I'm as hip for heterosexuality as the next guy, and I don't appreciate the homosexual "lifestyle," nor the homosexual movement in this country.
That said, I'm really kinda tired of the tendency many conservatives have of immitating our adversaries. Everywhere you look you see simple REACTION to the outrageous stuff the Left and its camp followers do, like having a "Miss WHITE America," or "White History Month," or now "Straight Pride."
To me, it dignifies the UNdignified dumb stuff THEY do, and you end up just equating yourself with THEM, just like you're simply the flip side of the same coin. That's NUTS.
What we need to do is go on with our NORMAL lives, and let our good works speak for themselves.
That's not to say we shouldn't protest wickedness when it comes into view, but we ought to do it in a dignified, appropriate manner, not by simply aping every knot-headed thing that THEY do.
Yeah. Everyone knows the homosexual community is NEVER in-your-face. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the bathhouse.
So, Sean, when you and your puffer buddies have a parade and shout "We're Here! We're Queer!" and pump your ... fists ... in the air, does that look like an antiheterosexual rally, not a celebration?

Seems like great staging and timing to me.

Boo hoo. Maybe you can call the Pinkshirts to beat them up. Or at least harshly criticize their fashion sense.
"We're marching because we don't have what you have.
Yeah, a sense of decency. But you do have something we don't: a disease. We're just celebrating our freedom from that illness. Is that so wrong?
Chill out, Sean, or I'll go by your house and flatten your souffle.
I've enjoyed heterosexual life so much, for so long that I've kept quiet about it, as decent people tend to do. Next time I'm anywhere near a straight parade, WATCH OUT!!!! - I'm going to out myself.
Probably why no pictures were posted, because they all showed up wearing their ‘I’m with stupid’ sweat shirts.
I am LMAO imagining this sentence said in a mincing gay voice. Too funny!!!
