A pro-family reporter says homosexuals in San Francisco were "jubilant ... and some naked" -- late last month as they celebrated "Gay Pride Day" just two days after the Supreme Court reversed Texas' decades-old sodomy statutes.
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, nearly three-quarters of a million people attended the event on June 29. Those in attendance included Allyson Smith and Peter LaBarbera of Concerned Women for America (CWA), a Christian, pro-family advocacy group based in Washington, D.C.
Smith and LaBarbera note that more than anything, the celebration demonstrated the power of San Francisco's homosexual community in the Northern California city. Officials in the parade included, among others, Mayor Willie Brown, California Secretary of State Kevin Shelley, homosexual Assemblyman Mark Leno, State Senator Jackie Speier, San Francisco District and City Attorneys Terence Hallinan and Dennis Herrera, and lesbian San Diego District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis, along with her partner Denise Nelesen, a writer for the San Diego Union-Tribune.

Most Americans have never witnessed a "gay pride" parade firsthand. While some may have seen such parades on television, the secular media typically "sugar-coats" the events in their reporting so that they come off as tame and innocuous to the general public.
Smith, who also writes for San Diego News Notes, a Catholic publication, gives a far different perspective. She says, "There is nothing like the San Francisco [homosexual] parade. The demonic influence was quite palpable. You could feel it."
What alarmed Smith and LaBarbera was a city that seems to have given itself completely over to every aspect of the homosexual lifestyle. Displays of public nudity were common, with law enforcement routinely looking the other way.
Their report quoted an observer who said: "After the parade there were four police officers on bikes at the Civic Center staring at a completely nude man about 70 feet away, laughing at him and ignoring his five other amigos who were similarly attired in nothing .... I wondered what would constitute indecent exposure in the streets of San Francisco."
According to Smith, overt public displays of affection between homosexuals were common, as were signs expressing an "in your face" attitude to the heterosexuals in the audience. She reports that signs bearing slogans such as "We had sodomy for breakfast" and "Sodomize me -- It's legal" as well as pink dildos [fake phalluses] were seen around the parade route. One man proudly wore a shirt that read "I love my p----."
Mixed with these displays was a presence of corporate sponsors. Companies such as Wells Fargo, Bank of America, Verizon, IBM, United Airlines, Enterprise Rent-a-Car, AAA Travel, Anheuser-Busch, Earthlink and various drug manufacturers represented themselves as sponsors of the event. Smith wonders how the majority of these companies' employees would react seeing this sponsored event in person.

In her report for CWA's Culture and Family Institute, Smith wrote, "Such is life in San Francisco, the most tolerant city in America. Where else would you see bus-stop shelter advertisements for a hard-core pornographic website (based in the city, of course)?"
After viewing the parade, Smith believes that Christians should still try to uphold a moral standard. Yet she marvels that people who are offended by these displays of depravity, who 30 years ago would have been considered mainstream, are now labeled as "extremists." In view of this, she wonders why is it so difficult for many Americans to express their moral outrage.
Still, as more political, civic, and religious leaders embrace and show approval of the homosexual and transgender lifestyles in America, Smith fears the events in San Francisco may offer a glimpse into the nation's cultural future.
Many do not. Many push the gay agenda. Many are "in your face" types who refuse to keep their sex lives private. Many are involved with gay pride parades. Many are trying to do what they can to teach kids it's okay to be gay.
That's why we're involved in this issue. It's not the homosexuals who keep their sex lives private - how would we know they're homosexuals if they keep it to themselves? That's the problem here - many do not keep their sex lives private.
Besides that, thousands have left the very destructive (severe health hazards of the) homosexual lifestyle.
Your generalizing is harmful to those who do not engage in such behavior. When you say gays this or that, you are being dishonest and painting everone with the same brush.
But since you're out to save us, I guess you can't learn anything. Carry on!
Translation -
Don't let the sheeple know what homosexuals really do or what they really want, what their agenda really is. Then the sheeple will wake up and get righteously p***ed off and fight back so that the sodomy promoters will have a harder time destroying the natural order.
BTTT
How is telling the truth harming anyone? Since all homosexuals engage in at least some of the harmful behaviors, (otherwise they wouldn't be called "homosexual"), what is the harm in shining the light of truth on aberrant behavior? Part of the homosexal agenda is to keep it quiet about what they "really do" since when normal people hear about the disgusting "sexual" practices of homosexuals they recoil with horror.
Good question. We need to get the truth into the hands and minds of more folks. If only the major media outlets would report the truth.
