The small Alabama town of Semmes is getting a lot of attention for a group of performers recently featured in their Christmas parade. The “Prancing Elites,” self-described as an all-male African-American gay dance team from Mobile, Alabama, marched at the tail end of the Semmes 13th Annual Christmas Parade. The five-member troupe was decked out in white hot pants, Santa hats and red coats to the shocked reaction of some residents.

Family friendly = bigoted

Mobile, Alabama!!?

If this were fifty years ago...........

What if it was five women in the same costumes, doing the same dance routine?

You have a point.

On the other hand, they're a bunch of poofters, essentially wearing women's clothing.

His timing is perfect. Maybe, like in Lot’s time, He is waiting for one more and just one more. But in any case, it’s not the Lord who is lacking!

[petitfour]

Good point! Have you seen the “cute” little cheerleader outfits the little girls wear in competitive cheer competitions?

...marched at the tail end of the Semmes 13th Annual Christmas Parade.

Really?

[chae]

How?

[relentlessly]

Seems like 2013 was America’s gayest year. Hopefully, 2014 will be different but probably not.

19 Alabama Wow... You'll notice they are wearing University of Alabama colors instead of the orange and blue of Auburn.

Semmes is a city in western Mobile County, Alabama, in the Mobile metropolitan statistical area. The statuatory census indicated that the city has a population of 2,897 people. The community was named for Admiral Raphael Semmes (1809–1877), an officer in the United States Navy from 1826 to 1860 and the Confederate States Navy from 1860 to 1865.

CSS Alabama: 1862-1864, ship motto = "Help yourself and God will help you"

The CSS Alabama is the subject of a sea shanty, "Roll Alabama, roll".

When the Alabama's Keel was Laid, (Roll Alabama, roll!),
'Twas laid in the yard of Jonathan Laird (Roll, roll Alabama, roll!)
'Twas Laid in the yard of Jonathan Laird, 'twas laid in the town of Birkenhead.
Down the Mersey way she rolled then, and Liverpool fitted her with guns and men.
From the western isle she sailed forth, to destroy the commerce of the north.
To Cherbourg port she sailed one day, for to take her count of prize money.
Many a sailor laddie saw his doom, when the Kearsarge it hove in view.
When a ball from the forward pivot that day, shot the Alabama's stern away.
Off the three-mile limit in '64, the Alabama was seen no more.

What if it was five women in the same costumes, doing the same dance routine?

I'd be curb side trying to ask one for a date......

[Vision]

We’re Sodom and Gomorrah.

"What if it was five women in the same costumes, doing the same dance routine?"

Were there five women anywhere in the parade in similar costumes doing a similar dance routine? Or did they all exercise good taste and help keep the parade family friendly? Certainly all risqué attire and provocative dancing is offensive in a family parade -- but, yes, even more so when orchestrated by effeminate men targeting the eyes of children.

According to our Marxist Caesar, we are the barbarians of this New Rome.

Let's not disappoint him.

[Lizavetta]

because leftists have to make everything political, everything.

And sexual.

[GeronL]

Perversion is simply used as a weapon by the leftists intent on destruction of civilization as we know it. They have to destroy it in order to rebuild into “Utopia” like North Korea.

:p

[envisio]

Oh no I am quite sure the organizers knew everything. It would not be politically correct to deny them. PC had to win. PC must win EVERY TIME at ANY COST.

[envisio]

You watch that crap?

One of my heros... Al Bundy... reduced to yet another homosexual glorifying TV show.
