Maybe queerness is the REAL reason NO is called the chocolate city?
Interesting link confirmation between a communist holiday and homosexual “holiday”...
I visited NO for the the first time several years ago, before the big storms, and I wasn’t all that impressed. Besides the occasional sodomy fests, the “normal” straight people don’t act much better. Just a bunch of drunken frat-type idiots acting like idiots and being debauched just like the FDRQ’s.
New Orleans was once a great place and was my favorite town. But that was then and this is now.
I still love the food and the architecture though.
Why can’t gay men have a get together that doesn’t revolve around rampant acts of public sex and nudity? You don’t see the NAACP holding a watermelon eating and dancing festival.
Somebody tell me again why we have spent so much to rebuild New Orleans, if the result is that it looks exactly the same as it did before Katrina.
Southern D aside, New Orleans is great and if any of yall visit you will see the majority of us are hardworking Americans who love to have a great time and entertain people.
My family and most of my friends are on the Northshore (St. Tammany, 1 hr from New Orleans) where people (and I stress..People, not animals) are moving. They’re sick of the decadence, the decay, the liberals, and this mindset that if you are a white, Christian male then you should fall down on the alter of metrosexuality (and every other sexuality) and beg for forgiveness. The whole place is stinking to high heaven with the stench of vampires. Some of us have had enough.
I would not rule out another Cat5 within 10 years. Stranger things have happened.
“Isn’t every Mardi Gras gay — or generally debauched?”
Actually, no! Mardi Gras in New Orleans is a year round business. The parades start on the Epiphany (1/6) and build up to the big day of Mardi Gras/Shrove Tuesday. The earlier, smaller parades are out in the burbs and work their way in toward the city over the ensuing weeks. The parades in the GardenDistrict are actually VERY family friendly. Bourbon Street, not so much.
The krewes that operate the parades for the public hold magnificent and often white-tie-formal balls after the parades. Usually with a great deal of pageantry and traditions that go back generations.
NOLA is a rather schizoid city. It has the extravagent and highly publicized debauchery on the one hand, and a very family oriented, structured, traditional (almost caste) social order uptown.
Come midnight on MardiGras, heading into Ash Wednesday, the action stops as if the city were Cinderella. Also, the whole Bourbon Street scene closes down over Christmas. Week.
Just how long was your "visit" to New Orleans? It must have been a very, very, long one and must have encompassed every part of the city and every type of its citizenry to make you feel so comfortable generalizing like that about a population that, before Katrina, numbered over 450,000.
Given the lowlife who prefer to live there, it was inevitable that it would turn out that way. :’)
Yeah, the architecture is something else, as well as the street musicians you find.
Besides, what type of city would elect a complete numskull DemocRat like Nagle and “welcome” so many debauched sodomites into its most famous, historic area to indulge in all types of public displays of obscenity. Sorry, not impressed.
Here’s guessing ABC won’t follow up and cover the lewd and promiscuous behavior associated with this event.
Sign: "Bridge is out -— Use Back Entrance"
a hurricane will seem like a party compared to what they will face in eternity if they continue on this path.
