MI Gov Granholm Proclaims June "Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Pride Month"

[Notwithstanding]

perversion is nothing to encourage pride about

it is one thing to take pride in oneself

quite another to take pride in one's perversion

the government should not encourage any man to be proud about sticking his penis into another's anus

[Notwithstanding]

You mention privacy of one's bedroom, consenting adults, blah blah blah...

Well, that is precisely the problem: the whole idea of "pride" is about screaming to the world "look at me, I like to have sex with people of my own gender" - which instantly invites me into the privacy of that person's bedroom.

[Man_of_Reason]

Remember she is supposed to represent the interests of everyone in Michigan.

[Notwithstanding]

I did research on NAMBLA.

The "mainstream" "gay" activist crowd embraced them at "Spirit of Stonewall" and at "pride" events.

Anyone who tries to keep tabs on the activists will note that the EXTREMISTS are always prominently featured and celebrated at "gay" "pride" events. This would be the flamers, the drag queens, the ones who go to great langths to make being "gay" an in your face event for anyone whom thye encounter. This includes NAMBLA types.

Will the ACLU support someone's right to burn the new flag as a means of political protest or will the person be charged with a hate crime?

[michigander]

I'll bet the ACLU has the month of June off for vacation.

Some of you Freepers in Michigan should be attending the Gay Pride marches with a video camcorder. There should be some real good footage to be supplied to the campaigns of those who run against her in the next election.

Yep, and watch as those who do the filming are immediately called homophobic bigots by these sickos.

[michigander]

Wait until the realization sets in that Black History Month is two days shorter.

There should be major SHTF over that.

Liberals don't find Straight Pride acceptable.


DETRIOT FREE PRESS
Ferndale -- Marchers take part in Straight Pride parade

June 17, 2002

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.

According to the radio station's Web site, the parade was also sponsored by the He-Man Women Hater's Club of America. The group's toll-free number has been disconnected.

Gay activists who attended Sunday's parade said the crowd was anything but joking. The parade, with marchers chanting "Straight is great" and pumping their fists in the air, looked like an antigay rally, not a celebration, said Sean Kosofsky of the Triangle Foundation.

Ferndale police said there were no incidents associated with the parade.

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.

"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." By Amy Klein

I remember that. That was hilarious.

Furthermore, I would be surprised if you could give me proof that any mainstream gay organization does.

ACT-UP does:

"In those cases where children do have sex with their homosexual elders... I submit that often, very often, the child desires the activity, and perhaps even solicits it, either because of a natural curiosity... or because he or she is homosexual and innately knows it. ... And unlike girls or women forced into rape or traumatized, most gay men have warm memories of their earliest and early sexual encounters; when we share these stories with each other, they are invariably positive ones."

~ Larry Kramer, writer and founder of the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power (ACT-UP), in Reports from the Holocaust, New York: St. Martin's Press, 1991.

They are not walls of prejudice or walls of fear that MI Gov Granholm wishes to break down, but walls of reason against destructive behavior.

Danger of Sodomy from Disease:
It is in the public interest to reduce and eliminate all human contact with sewage of all forms. (Clearly, we speak here of individual human contact with detritus foreign to that individual, not the contents of the individuals own digestive system.) Homosexual acts are high risk behaviors, just like drug addicts' sharing of needles. That the homosexual act confers a high just as drugs confer a high does not prove that homosexual acts are healthy. To the contrary, the similiarity of health disorders obtained by these two populations shows that they are both risky behaviors. A thinking human has every right - even every obligation, to view risky behaviours as bad.

But lets cut straight to the bone of the issue. The folks with habitually disordered sex drives (called GLBT in this case) are only the pawn being pushed toward the queening square (couldn't resist).

Let's have it out, once and for all, a pride month the mother of all pride months:
"I burned my Bible and pissed on my Crusifix pride month"!

And just for those who don't get it right off, that's sarcasm!

[sheik yerbouty]

Michiganers!

[Houmatt]

I'm not an expert on where gay groups stand on NAMBLA, but Luis posted a statement from some gay group explicitly denouncing NAMBLA.

But of course. Lies from a liar.

The ultimate double negative.

[Houmatt]

Monogamy is a choice. Orientation is not.

Then explain this book.

1. They can not further mankind by producing off spring. Reason for this is, they have the wrong body parts in the wrong holes. 2. They ultimately would destroy civilization as we know it.

I'm sorry, but that's just silly logic. And a common argument (not necessarily by you) that being Gay isn't the way God intended it, is also silly in my opinion. Here's why I say that:

1. By definition, a homosexual cannot "breed", right? So they are not "breeding" more and more homosexuals, which completely contradicts a misinformed belief that "they" are everywhere and taking over everything. They are no more present or absent than they have ever been - it's just that in some countries it is less of a secret society than it has been in recent history, so we notice it more.

2. A person is either born gay or not. You can't "convert" someone to being Gay, contrary to far-right beliefs. Yes, there are straight people who participated in homosexual behavior, but they are not homosexuals. If any straight people on this forum believe that a straight person can be converted to being homosexual, then that means that you think you personally could be converted. But those same people would say "No way, not ME, NO ONE could ever convert ME to being a homo!" So which is it? A straight person can or cannot be converted? Cannot - they are born that way.

3. So... Since a person is born Gay, then it must all be part of God's plan, right? And if it's in God's plan, then who are we humans to question it? Perhaps it is in God's plan that certain people should not breed, for whatever reason... so some are born Gay, some are born sterile, etc. to prevent them from "breeding." So again, why does everyone gripe? If they can't breed, it's a self-limiting situation.

4. There will always be plenty of straight people in the world, so homosexuals are not a threat to the existance of straights. It's not like homosexuals will cause straights to go extinct. So why is everyone so paranoid about it?</font size>

Now, with all that said...

< rant on >
This politically correct, and BIASED crap makes me sick!! A "gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered pride month"???? Give me a break!!

I want to see someone try to get STRAIGHT PRIDE day through some legislature... I want to see someone try to open a BLACK ONLY golf club.... I want someone to put special tax deductions in the tax codes for the SINGLE PEOPLE WITH NO KIDS!! Geez, special interest groups are out of control in this country, but if anyone tried any of these three special interests, the "Politically Correct Police" would string them up!

In all my years, I've never known anyone who chose to be straight.

That only means you have never met Anne Heche, and all of the many others who have willingly left the homosexual lifestyle and are happier they did.

[BagCamAddict]

How about the 45 year old sugar daddy smoozing the 16 year old boy into sex??

That's both pedophilia and statutory rape. Again, those are criminal acts. Not the same as two consenting adults choosing to do something - something that you may not agree with.

[BagCamAddict]

All straight men are lesbians anyway, aren't they?

[Notwithstanding]

Anti-social behavior - whether heterosexual or homosexual - ought not be encouraged.

All homosexual behavior is always anti-social.

Your pretense of neutrality is laughable.
