Roanoke, VA Gay Pride Festival - Theme: "SWEET 16, CRUISIN' FOR A KISS" - WACHOVIA CORP IS SPONSOR
Roanoke Pride, Inc. ^ | September 13, 2005 | Roanoke Pride, Inc.

Posted on 09/13/2005 6:42:13 AM PDT by Perseverando

Yes, it's their 16th annual "festival," but "SWEET SIXTEEN Cruisin' for a Kiss" (see the website) is just a little too obvious of an in-your-face double entendre.

May I point out that in Virginia, sixteen year olds are minors, i.e., contributing to the delinquency of a minor, statutory rape, etc. That's nothing to be proud about!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

September means Pride! RoanokePride, Inc. is the guiding force behind the month-long series of activities known collectively as Pride. The centerpiece of our Pride celebration is the Pride-in-the-Park festival. Since it's inception in 1989, this gathering is the largest annual gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender event in Western Virginia. RoanokePride, Inc. is proud to bring professional entertainment to our community each year for this festival! As an all-volunteer, non-profit organization, RoanokePride uses all donations to fund various activities, including Pride in the Park. Additionally, donations from the proceeds are made to various LGBT organizations throughout Western Virginia each year. With your generous help, we hope to increase the monies donated back into the community, as well as continue to host LGBT events with famous and local talent. Your sponsorship and/or donation is greatly appreciated! RoanokePride also awards the Lambda Service Award (for outstanding individual achievement) and the Community Service Award (for outstanding achievement of an organization). These annual awards are given to deserving community members and groups that are nominated by the very public that they serve. Nominations may be made through our website.

Dear Wachovia,

I promise that I will never do any business with your firm until you denounce your sponsorship of the sodomyfest. Why do you pander to 2% of the population while disgusting the vast majority of americans?

Is the board of your firm so sick, depraved demented and insane it thinks a festival celebrating sodomy is normal? Obviously so, meaning they are so out of touch with reality, they can't possibly know how best to handle my wealth.

How can a sane person possibly bank and invest with Wachovia? They can't.

"If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them. " - Lev. 20:13

I don't think they should be killed; rather, they need to accept the redemption and deliverance that has been provided by The Lord.

but

If Wachovia doesn't do well in the future, oh well . . .

Seems Wachovia is the one who agreed to reparations several months ago.

Please take this in the serious tone I'm saying it: You have a very dirty mind.

What is it about 'gay' people that make them think we even care what they do with their mixed-up lives?

- Fine - They are gay. Why do they have to have a parade? I never once even considered having a parade to celebrate my heterosexuality (well, maybe after the first time...) but not since.

It's not natural for a heterosexual to take an avid interest in homosexual activities.

Excuse me...I'm sorry...I only read the headline, and not even well at that. I thought it was just a teenage thing, not a gay thing. My apologies.

I'm interested in what the Quran has to say about infidels. But don't worry I'm not converting. Just concerned about their agenda.

Here's a try at answering your question: In their eyes it's not good enough that you accept their perversion (a neutral repsonse). They *demand* you accept them as normal and be in complete agreement with it.
