Funny, I don’t see the gays complaining about the “Gay Pride” tee-shirts that show up at every gay march.

The author appears to be accusing gays of inciting hate. Fascinating.

“.Gay advocacy groups say the shirts are reminiscent of the “white pride” slogan adopted by racist groups who oppose equality.”

Need to fix this: Here:

.Gay advocacy groups say the shirts are reminiscent of their “gay pride” slogan adopted by homosexual groups who oppose society establishing normal and acceptable behavior.

If gays can openly proclaim gay pride, why can’t straights openly proclaim straight pride?

Someone who is normal can't be proud of that fact?

And wait a minute.....a person can't be proud of being white?

Remember this?

They should probably replace their “Gay Pride” shirts with “I have no sense of humor” shirts.

How about a tee shirt that says White, Straight, Protestant Pride?

And what really IS wrong with a “white pride” shirt if a “black pride” shirt is ok?

What would be racist about a “white power” shirt
as opposed to the “black power fist”?

Seriously folks, time to break down the hypocritical bastions of the left. They’re using our sense of “civility” as a bludgeon to enslave us.

Too funny. According to the libs it is racist to be racist if you are white. It’s heroic to be racist if you are black. It’s heroic to be perverse sexually, unless you are a conservative, then you are a hypocrite. And if you are not perverse and make fun of them by wearing a tee-shirt you are “reminiscent of white pride groups that opposed civil rights” . . . Notice the “reminiscent of” in there. That’s the trick they always use. “Code words,” “reminiscent of” . . . allows their smear to pass the laugh test.

I’ll bet they’re zerobot infiltrators. Next you’ll see the white hoods. All in an attempt to drive indies away from the tea party.

Then why isn't the "gay pride" slogan offensive, too?
